Cancer Screening Guidelines

 

Cancer screening guidelines are recommendations for tests to find cancer early in people at average risk for cancer and without any specific symptoms. In some cases, screening can find a lesion before it develops into cancer. Talk to your health-care provider about the cancer screening tests recommended for you based on your age and health history.
