  A new analysis provides 'strong' support for starting fecal immunochemical test screening at ages 40-49 rather than at the currently recommended age of 50.

The article from Medscape discusses a study presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium, which found that early screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) using the FIT (fecal immunochemical test) can significantly reduce CRC mortality. The study, conducted in Italy, showed that individuals who underwent FIT screening had a 43% lower risk of dying from CRC compared to those who did not participate in screening. The research emphasized the importance of starting CRC screening at age 50, as recommended by guidelines, and highlighted that the effectiveness of FIT in reducing CRC mortality supports its use as a primary screening tool. The findings underscore the potential life-saving benefits of adhering to regular CRC screening protocols.
