Colorectal cancer screening is recommended to begin at age 45 for individuals at average risk. This is important for the early detection and prevention of cancer, as early-stage cancers are often more treatable. The other options target different priorities or age groups: breast cancer screening typically begins at age 40 or 50 based on individual risk factors and guidelines, bone density testing is usually reserved for individuals over 65 or who have risk factors for osteoporosis, and prostate cancer screening often begins at 50 for those at average risk.
