Determines if benefit outweigh risk of taking tamox

25
Lung cancer screening
CT scans annually for high risk patients | Not xray
26
Who are high risk lung cancer?
Age 55-74 and >30 pack year smoking (1 pack yr=ppd*yrs smoking) Current smokers or quit w/in past 15 yrs Smoking cessation is only effective prevention
27
Colorectal canc screening
``` Fecal occult blood test (need to avoid NSAIDS, vitamin c, and iron 3 days before) Fecal immunochemical test Stool DNA Barium enemas Tumor markers (CEA) Fleg sig **Colonoscopy** ```
28
Colorectal Prevention
Diet (high fiber 39 g, Low fat, fruits and veg high in antiox, ca2+ rich, VitD) Smoking cess Low dose ASA in 50-59 y/o to decrease COX2-med free rad formation
29
Prostate Cancer Screening
Digital rectal exam PSA (total, velocity, free <15% Followup with transrectal ultrasound
30
Prostate canc prevention
5alpha reductase inh (finasteride) cause a higher grade diagnosis if get cancer Selenium and Vit E not effective
31
Cervical cancer screening
Pap test (mostly liquid) HPV DNA for high risk strains 21-65 every 3 years
32
Cervical cancer prevention
less sex partners, delay onset of sex Gardasil 9 vaccine for all 9-26 Strain 16 and 18 are most harmful
33
Melanoma screening
ABCDE Asymmetry, border, color, diameter, evolving Monthly self inspection data insufficient
34
Melanoma prevention
minimize UV exposure | strongest rays are 10-4 sun protection and sunscreen
35
Sunscreen
UVB>uva SPF regards UvB At least SPF 30 q2h
