Recommendations for when to start and how often to screen can differ. For example:
Breast Cancer: Women aged 50-74 should have a mammogram every two years. Younger women with risk factors may need earlier and more frequent screening. Cervical Cancer: Women aged 21-29 should have a Pap smear every three years, while those aged 30-65 should have a Pap smear combined with an HPV test every five years. Colorectal Cancer: People aged 45-75 should undergo regular screening with methods like colonoscopy every ten years. Lung Cancer: Annual low-dose CT scans are recommended for adults aged 55-80 with a significant smoking history.
