Updated guidelines for combating colorectal cancer (CRC) now recommend that screenings begin at age 45. However, despite CRC being the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., barriers such as potential high insurance co-pays and deductibles as well as poor access to health care keep screenings rates low.
