Guidelines for a Screening Colonoscopy Referral:

Patients are eligible if:

• They have completed a fecal occult blood test (FOBT) kit and the results are positive and they are between 50-74 years of age.
• They have a first-degree relative (parent, sibling or child) who had colorectal cancer. A patient’s first colonoscopy should be at age 50 or 10 years prior to their family member’s age at diagnosis.
