Land before time came out in 88 that's only 35 years ago. The CDC reccomends colonoscopies at 45.
It's close. I must have seen it long after its initial release or while I was very young. But I'm still about a decade off from 45.
The rates of colorectal cancer are increasing in young adults. It’s best you start earlier so that problematic polyps and adenomas can be removed before they get worse.

Yup. My family has a history of colon polyps, so I had my first screening at 42 and they found a precancerous polyp.
