Notes:
- Screening should be done every year with the regular Pap test or every 2 years using the newer liquid-based Pap test. Beginning at age 30, women who have 3 normal Pap test results in a row may get screened every 2-3 years. Post-hysterectomy requirements vary and need to be discussed with the physician. (American Cancer Society, Centers of Disease Control and Prevention).
- Yearly mammograms are recommended starting at age 40 and continuing for as long as a woman is in good health. (American Cancer Society, The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists).
- Men over 50 and those over 40 with a history of prostate cancer in a paternal relative should discuss their individual requirements with their physician. (CDC, American Cancer Society).
- The American Cancer Society recommends that some people be screened using a different schedule because of their personal history of family history. This is determined by the physician. (American Cancer Society, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
