Cancer checkups guide and ACS updates for early detection
The piece reviews revised American Cancer Society screening guidelines and a Cancer Journal for Clinicians report showing rising PSA testing and earlier detection for prostate cancer, steadier breast and colon cancer trends, and notes on lung cancer trends. It urges annual cancer-related checkups for adults, especially after age 40, with reminders about pelvic exams and test schedules.
Early Detection Guidelines for Cancer Screening
The American Cancer Society advises annual digital rectal exams and prostate specific antigen tests for men 50 and older, with follow up if results are abnormal. Screening mammography should begin by age 40, and examinations should include thyroid, testicular, prostate, ovarian, lymph node, oral region, and skin cancers.
