Studies show that having a family history of colon cancer increases the risk of developing the disease in the following manner: While most cases of colon cancer occur in people with no familial risk factors, individuals who have a close relative who has had colon cancer, particularly at a young age, are at increased risk themselves for developing colon cancer. They should be initially examined at a younger age, and examined more often, than individuals without risk factors. A familial risk is also conferred when close relatives have had common benign colon polyps (adenomas), particularly when the polyps have occurred at a young age, have occurred in large numbers or have been "advanced" under the microscope or large in size, such as those requiring surgical rather than endoscopic removal.

Fortunately though, early colon cancer can be detected by colonoscopy at early stages, before it has spread outside the colon. Early stage colon cancer is often highly curable. More importantly, the common growths (polyps) from which most colon cancers may slowly arise (colonic adenomas, or adenomatous polyps) can be detected and removed during a colonoscopy, resulting in the potential prevention of colon cancer. Experts believe that colon cancer deaths may be up to 90% preventable by regular colonoscopy, and that colon cancer itself may be up to 70% preventable.
