A member asked:
Besides pap smears, what tests can be taken to test for other female cancers - ovarian , uterine etc.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Simplest answer: Recommendations are not to routinely screen for ovarian or uterine cancer unless symptoms suggest. For people at average risk for breast cancer, mammography is usually considered as early as age 50. Same with colonoscopies for colon cancer. Lung cancer screening around age 55 for a history of heavy smoking, current smokers, or quit within past 15 years. I encourage you to go to CDC website.
