Are there specific screening recommendations based on age and gender?
Screening recommendations for cancer vary based on age and gender to ensure early detection and improve treatment outcomes. For example, women are advised to undergo regular mammograms for breast cancer starting at age 40 or 50, depending on guidelines. Men are recommended to have prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests for prostate cancer starting at age 50. Both men and women are encouraged to have colonoscopy screenings for colorectal cancer starting at age 45 or 50. These recommendations are tailored to the specific risks associated with age and gender.
