Screen for colon cancer. If you're age 50 or older and at average risk of colon cancer — you have no colon cancer risk factors other than age — your doctor may recommend a colonoscopy every 10 years or sometimes sooner to screen for colon cancer. Colonoscopy is one option for colon cancer screening. Talk with your doctor about your options.
My PCP recommends doing one at age 40 as the insurance can cover one at age 40 if there is family history.
Women with an average risk of breast cancer. Many women begin mammograms at age 40 and have them every one to two years. Professional groups differ on their recommendations. The American Cancer Society advises women with an average risk to begin screening mammograms yearly at age 45 until age 54, and then continue every two years. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends women start screening every two years starting at age 50 until age 74. However, these groups agree that women can choose to be screened starting at age 40. Women with a high risk of breast cancer. Women with a high risk of breast cancer may benefit by beginning screening mammograms before age 40. Talk to your doctor about evaluating your individual risk of breast cancer. Your risk factors, such as a family history of breast cancer or a history of precancerous breast lesions, may lead your doctor to recommend magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in combination with mammograms.
High-risk family history — A woman with a "high-risk" family history is someone who has a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer in more than one relative or has family members with cancer who have certain characteristics.
Women with this history should meet with a genetic counselor to discuss genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 (table 1). Genetic testing is discussed in a separate article. (See "Patient education: Genetic testing for breast and ovarian cancer (Beyond the Basics)".)
Ovarian cancer screening may be recommended if you have a high risk family history of ovarian cancer and:
●You have a BRCA mutation and you have your ovaries
●You have Lynch syndrome (also called hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer [HNPCC]) and you have your ovaries
Ovarian cancer screening may also be considered for women who are eligible to have genetic testing (because of their high-risk family history) but who have chosen not to have genetic testing. In this group, ovarian cancer screening may be recommended, starting at age 30 to 35, or 5 to 10 years earlier than the age when the youngest family member was diagnosed. Screening may include a blood test for CA-125 and a pelvic ultrasound.
If you have a high risk family history, there are alternatives to ovarian cancer screening, such as having your ovaries removed to prevent cancer. These options are discussed separately. (See "Patient education: Genetic testing for breast and ovarian cancer (Beyond the Basics)", section on 'Interpreting the results'.)
Lower-risk family history — Women who do not meet the criteria for a high-risk family history should discuss their risks for ovarian cancer with a healthcare provider. Ovarian cancer screening is not usually recommended for this group.
Average-risk women — Women with an "average risk" of ovarian cancer do not have a personal or family history of ovarian cancer. Screening for ovarian cancer is not recommended in average risk women.
希望大家身体都健健康康！
