Screening Guidelines for the Early Detection of
Breast Cancer, American Cancer Society
 Yearly mammograms are recommended starting at age 40.
 A clinical breast exam should be part of a periodic health examination,
about every 3 years for women in their 20s and 30s. Asymptomatic women
aged 40 and older should continue to undergo a clinical breast exam,
preferably annually*.
 Beginning in their early 20s, women should be told about the benefits and
limitations of breast-self examination. Women should know how their
breasts normally feel and report any breast changes promptly to their
health care providers.
__________
* Beginning at age 40 years, annual CBE should be performed prior to mammography

Screening Guidelines for the Early Detection of
Cervical Cancer, American Cancer Society
Screening should begin approximately three years after a women begins
having vaginal intercourse, but no later than 21 years of age.
Screening should be done every year with regular Pap tests or every two
years using liquid-based tests.
At or after age 30, women who have had three normal test results in a row
may get screened every 2-3 years with cervical cytology (either
conventional or liquid-based Pap test) alone, or every 3 years with a
human papillomavirus DNA test plus cervical cytology.
Women 70 and older who have had three or more consecutive Pap tests
in the last ten years may choose to stop cervical cancer screening.
Screening after a total hysterectomy (with removal of the cervix) is not
necessary unless the surgery was done as a treatment for cervical cancer.

Screening Guidelines for the Early Detection of Colorectal Cancer
and Adenomas, American Cancer Society 2008
Beginning at age 50, men and women should follow one of the
following examination schedules:
 A flexible sigmoidoscopy (FSIG) every five years
 A colonoscopy every ten years
 A double-contrast barium enema every five years
 A Computerized Tomographic (CT) colonography every five years
 A guaiac-based fecal occult blood test (FOBT) or a fecal immunochemical
test (FIT) every year
 A stool DNA test (interval uncertain)


Tests that detect adenomatous polyps and cancer
Tests that primarily detect cancer
People who are at moderate or high risk for colorectal cancer should talk with
a doctor about a different testing schedule

Screening Guidelines for the Early Detection of

 Beginning at age 50, to men who have a life expectancy of
at least 10 years, health care providers should discuss the
potential benefits and limitations of prostate cancer early
detection testing with men and offer the PSA blood test and
the digital rectal examination.*
___________
* Information should be provided to men regarding the benefits and
limitations of testing so that an informed decision concerning testing
can be made with the clinician’s assistance.
