Should colon cancer screening start at 40? The Harvard University Gazette asked Mass General Brigham colorectal cancer experts and others if the screening age should be lowered from 45 to 40. - Ted Hong, MD, director of gastrointestinal service, Mass General Cancer Center: "While there is clearly a dramatic rise in colorectal cancer in young patients, it’s not clear that 40 is the correct age." - Aparna Parikh, MD, medical director for the Center for Young Adult Colorectal Cancer at Mass General Cancer Center: "If there was a biomarker to identify risk, this would help us understand who to screen early." - Shuji Ogino, MD, PhD, chief of molecular pathological epidemiology, Brigham and Women's Hospital: "Such a practice will increase health disparities and inequities, as only those with the means to afford it would take part." - Andrew Chan, MD, MPH, director of cancer epidemiology at Mass General Cancer Center: "I would argue that we should focus more on identifying the underlying causes of this rise in early onset cases."
