Single family member with colon CA
Start at age 40 OR 10years earlier than family member(age35) as per MTB 3

@oranges: Thanks for the answer.
But that's for 1st degree relatives. In this case no known cancer in 1st degree - but confirmed case in 2nd degree.

Did father die of colon cancer or is he living without screening and without getting cancer?

@littledoc123: father living without known colon cancer.

Still it puts him at higher risk so I would like to start screening at the age of 35!
