Ontario Lowers Colorectal Cancer Screening Age to 45 The Ontario government has lowered the age threshold for colorectal cancer screening from 50 to 45, a change that reflects growing concerns about an increase in cases among younger adults.
This decision was likely influenced by demographic trends and emerging health data showing higher incidence rates among individuals under 50.
