A lot of it has to do with life expectancy of us 'seniors' and the insurance and CMS criteria. My brother died from rectal cancer so they will continue all us bros every 3-5 years up to like 80. If we request it. I get mine done this year (5 year cycle) but doc says maybe one more test and that's it. More likely to get shot by jealous husband than rectal cancer. PSA is a different issue, mine has spiked the last 5 years and I"m likely to get a biopsy in a few years. More to just help make an informed decision as to getting treatment, or not, and just let nature take it course. Sadly, a lot has to do with the money aspect for the providers and sort of why bother too much on the old folks attitude that surfaces.
