Dr. Pradeep Kumar, a gastroenterologist with Austin Gastro, appeared on FOX7 News to discuss the new colon cancer screening guidelines as set forth by the American Cancer Society in June 2018, lowering the recommended age from 50 to 45 to begin screening for colon cancer. He explains why the American Cancer Society made this recommendation and what this means for people age 45-49 who are wondering if they should ask their doctor about scheduling a colonoscopy.
