Colorectal Cancer Risk Assessment Tool

The National Cancer Institute developed a “Risk Assessment Tool” to help people understand their risks, as well as, provide information to assist in having an informed conversation with your healthcare provider.

The Colorectal Cancer Risk Assessment Tool was designed for use by doctors and other health providers with their patients. If you are not a health provider, take these results to your doctor or other health provider to discuss your personal risk of colorectal cancer. (Colorectal cancer is another way to say colon and rectal cancer).

This tool does not yet apply to American Indians and Alaska Natives, but the National Cancer Institute is working to improve the tool for use by these groups of people.

If you are African American, Asian American/Pacific Islander, or Hispanic/Latino, please click here for more information about race, ethnicity, and how the tool was developed.
