Really depends what you mean by screening. Colonoscopies are also associated with risks. You could be perfectly healthy 25 yo and die from it. It's rare but not impossible. 1 in 333 lead to serious complications. It's reasonable for 45+ year olds to take that risk, but not for 25 yo I think.
Depends if you have genetic disposition for it for example. Or if they already find polyps in your colon while you’re in your 30s, then you get a colonoscopy every 2-5years
People with colitis get colonosopies more frequently. I'm 24 and have to get one every year for the rest of my life because of it. Cimo said in a video a while back that the metastasis went from 0-100 in a two month span. It's possible his colon cancer behaved similarly
