We explore challenges for implementing new recommendations to begin screening for colorectal cancer in people ages 45–49. Challenges include the costs, limited evidence, and ensuring health equity. We also offer solutions and recommendations for researchers and practitioners to include this new age group into screening programs. Finally, we conclude with suggesting areas for future work to address colorectal cancer in people under the age of 50.
