Abstract

The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force release cancer screening recommendations on a regular basis. These recommendations include a mammogram every 2 years among women aged 50-74, a Pap test every 3 years among women aged 21-65 without a hysterectomy, or a Pap test plus human papillomavirus (HPV) test (co-testing) every 5 years among women aged 30-65 without a hysterectomy. These recommendations also include a Pap test every 3 years among women aged 21-65 without a hysterectomy.
In addition, they recommend a home blood stool test every year, a sigmoidoscopy or a computed tomography (CT) colonography every 5 years, a colonoscopy every 10 years, or a fecal immunochemical test (FIT)-DNA test every 3 years among adults aged 50-75.
