When should i go to the doctor for a cancer check-up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CA check ups: Generally women should begin check ups when they become sexually active, followed by mammograms at age 40, colonoscopy at 50. For men screening for prostate CA should start at age 50 along with colonoscopy. Skin checks should be done through out your life by yourself and later by a dermatologist if you are prone to skin CA
