Screening recommendations vary depending on the type of cancer, age, gender, family history, and risk factors. For instance:
Breast cancer screening is typically recommended for women aged 50 to 74 years, although it may start earlier for those with a family history or genetic predisposition. Colorectal cancer screening is advised for adults aged 45 to 75 years, with options including colonoscopy, stool tests, and flexible sigmoidoscopy. Lung cancer screening is suggested for adults aged 50 to 80 years who have a significant smoking history.
