A member asked:
What are sure signs that i should get a colon cancer screening. im only 20 and i've got no insurance so you're my best bet. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe not needed.: At your young age, the only indication for a colonoscopy as a screening modality would be the presence of a strong family history of colon cancer, one that would suggest a familial predisposition to colon cancer.
