Abstract
The best approach hinges on the number, degree, and age of relatives diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC) or adenomatous polyps (AP). Screening should begin at 40 years of age for patients with a family history of CRC or AP in at least 1 first-degree relative or CRC in at least 2 second-degree relatives (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, extrapolation from systematic reviews).
