"CANCER SCREENING: Screening detects conditions before they cause symptoms. Early detection is the aim as it improves prognosis and treatment successes. Screening programmes are individualised based on personal and family history, risks factors such as age, ethnicity but general guidelines are: 1. BREAST CANCER: Mammograms every 2 years above 40 yrs. Breast examination and awareness before that. But this may change if genetic predisposition or strong F/H 2. CERVICAL CANCER: PAP smear every 3 years in 25-49 yrs. and every 5 years in 50-64 yrs. 3. BOWEL CANCER: yearly stool test looking for blood (FIT test) above 40 yrs. If positive will need colonoscopy. 4. PROSTATE CANCER: pros and cons but includes rectal examination and PSA blood test. If you are unsure what tests you need, discuss it with your doctor #cancerscreening #healthcheckup #cancerawareness #breastcancerawareness #bowelcancer"
