American Cancer Society Recommendations
Here is a concise summary of the American Cancer Society's recommendations for the early detection of cancer in asymptomatic individuals:
- People aged 20-40: It is advisable to undergo a cancer-related checkup every three years.
- People aged 40 and older: A yearly cancer-related checkup is recommended.
These checkups should encompass health counseling and, depending on the individual's age, may include examinations for various cancers such as those affecting the thyroid, oral cavity, skin, lymph nodes, testes, and ovaries.
For women aged 40 and above, annual mammograms, yearly clinical breast exams (CBE) by a healthcare professional, and monthly breast self-exams are recommended. The CBE should coincide with a scheduled mammogram. Meanwhile, women between 20 and 39 should undergo a healthcare professional's clinical breast exam every three years and perform monthly breast self-examinations.
Individuals aged 50 or older, regardless of gender, should adhere to one of the examination schedules below for colon and rectal cancer screening:
- Yearly fecal occult blood test along with a flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years.
- Undergo a colonoscopy every 10 years.
- Opt for a double-contrast barium enema every five to 10 years.
In addition, a digital rectal exam should coincide with either the sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, or double-contrast barium enema. It is worth noting that individuals at moderate or high risk for colorectal cancer should consult with a healthcare professional to determine an appropriate testing schedule tailored to their specific needs.
According to the ACS, men should be offered an annual prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test and a digital rectal examination starting at the age of 50. For individuals at high risk, such as those with a strong family history (e.g., two or more affected first-degree relatives) or African Americans, consideration can be given to initiating these screenings at an earlier age, typically around 45 years old.
Cervical: For all women who are sexually active or aged 18 and above, it is recommended to undergo an annual Pap test and pelvic examination. Following three or more consecutive satisfactory examinations with normal results, the frequency of Pap tests may be reduced. It is advisable to have a discussion with your physician regarding the appropriate schedule.
Endometrial: Women at a heightened risk of uterine cancer should consider having a sample of their endometrial tissue examined when they enter menopause.
