Screening Guidelines

When to start cancer screening will depend on your age, family history and health. These factors will also determine how often you should get screened. Below are screening recommendations for those with average risk. Talk with your primary care provider about the right screening schedule for you.

Women should have the option to have annual mammograms at the age of 40. Check with your doctor if you should begin screening earlier based on your family history and other risk factors.

Schedule recommendations depend on a woman’s age and type of screening used. A Pap test, HPV test or combination of both may be used.

Individuals should receive a colonoscopy every 10 years, beginning at age 45 according to the American Cancer Society.

Men and women ages 50 to 80 with a high risk of lung cancer should ask their doctor if they could benefit from a lung cancer screening.

Starting at age 40, men should talk with their doctor about testing, based on personal risk factors.
