Gut check: Colon cancer risks and screening

Are you at risk for colon cancer? You can find out by answering a variety of questions with our colon cancer screening tool. These easy-to-answer questions are related to your age, health, and family and personal history, and affect your chances of developing colon cancer.

Take this quiz to assess your colon health

If you answer “yes” to any of the questions, you should see your primary health care provider for more information on colon cancer screening.

For the safety of our patients, staff and visitors, Mayo Clinic has strict masking policies in place. Anyone shown without a mask was either recorded prior to COVID-19 or recorded in a non-patient care area where social distancing and other safety protocols were followed.
