In addition, we support cancer research programs and are helping to bring cancer to an end. While we are making strides toward a cure for cancer, we still have a long way to go. No matter where we live or what we do for a living, one out of every three of us will get some type of cancer. However, today we do know that the best chance we have of surviving cancer is early detection. Please make sure that you get your regular cancer tests.
The following is a summary of American Cancer Society recommendations for early detection of cancer in asymptomatic people:
A cancer-related checkup is recommended every 3 years for people ages 20-40 and every year for people ages 40 and older. This exam should include health counseling and, depending on a person's age, might include examinations for cancers of the thyroid, oral cavity, skin, lymph nodes, testes and ovaries, as well as for some nonmalignant diseases.
Women 40 and older should have an annual mammogram, an annual clinical breast exam (CBE) performed by a health care professional, and should perform monthly breast self-examination. The CBE should be conducted close to the scheduled mammogram. Women ages 20-39 should have a clinical breast exam performed by a health care professional every three years and should perform monthly breast self-examination.
Men and women ages 50 or older should follow one of the following examination schedules:
- A fecal occult blood test every year and a flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years.
- A colonoscopy every 10 years.
- A double-contrast barium enema every five to 10 years.
- A digital rectal exam should be done at the same time as sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, or double-contrast barium enema. People who are at moderate or high risk for colorectal cancer should talk with a doctor about a different testing schedule.
The ACS recommends that both the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test and the digital rectal examination be offered annually, beginning at age 50, to men who have a life expectancy of at least 10 years and to younger men who are at high risk. Men in high risk groups, such as those with a strong familial predisposition (e.g., two or more affected first-degree relatives), or African Americans may begin at a younger age (e.g.,45 years).
Cervix: All women who are or have sexually active or who are 18 and older should have an annual Pap test and pelvic examination. After three or more consecutive satisfactory examinations with normal findings, the Pap test may be performed less frequently. Discuss the matter with your physician.
Endometrium: Women at high risk for cancer of the uterus should have a sample of endometrial tissue examined when menopause begins.
