mamogram screening

Answer 11

A baseline mammogram should start at age 50 and repeat every 2 years until age 74.

This recommendation does not apply to women with known genetic mutations, familial breast cancer, or a history of chest radiation at a young age or women previously diagnosed with high-risk breast lesion who may benefit from starting screening in their 40s.

The USPSTF recommends annual screening for lung cancer with LDCT in adults age 55 to 80 years who have a 30-pack-year smoking history and currently smoke (or quit within the past 15 years). Discontinue screening once a person has not smoked for 15 years or develops a health problem that substantially limits life expectancy or willingness to have curative lung surgery
