This information will help you and your health care provider decide which cancer screenings you need, when to begin screening and how often you should be screened. Unless otherwise noted, this chart follows screening guidelines of the American Cancer Society and are intended for those persons at average risk.
Talk with your health care provider about any personal or family history of cancer to determine if you should begin cancer screenings at an earlier age or be tested more frequently. Having one or more family members with a history of certain cancers, including breast, colorectal, and prostate, may place you at higher risk for the development of cancer.
