Unfortunately, the oldest millennials are just now at colonoscopy age.
Preventive colonoscopy is looking like it's going away.
It has a record of high false positives, and current poop tests are far more accurate (than they used to be).
Docs are now leaning toward only do colonoscopy if there are test results indicating it's needed.
