There's no evidence colonoscopy screening saves lives, according to the U.S. Cancer Society.
Put the U.S. Cancer society info up. I can say with certainty a colonoscopy saved my life at age 47 when a malignant stage III tumor was found. There are a lot of young people in their 20's that have KRAS mutant or other whose lives are saved every year. A lot of people in their 40s and 50s are diagnosed via colonoscopies every year. It is the 4th most common cancer diagnosed in the US with an estimated 138k new cases in 2014, and 20% of those are ages 20 - 54. Keep spouting your drivel.

What is the "U.S. Cancer Society?" I work in oncology and have never heard of this organization. I am, however, well aware of the American Cancer Society, which has recently embarked on a goal to screen 80% of eligible people for colon cancer (primarily via colonoscopy) by I think 2020.
