Moffitt's Early Detection Guide
Women's Cancer Screening Guidelines

    It’s important to keep your cancer screenings on schedule, based on your age.
    Moffitt’s guidelines for women who are at average risk* are:

    age 18-29
    Pap test and pelvic exam each year
    Periodic breast self-exam
    Cancer-related checkup including thyroid, oral cavity, skin, lymph nodes, breasts and
    ovaries every 1-3 years

    age 30-39
    Pap test and pelvic exam every 2-3 years
    Periodic breast self-exam
    Cancer-related checkup including thyroid, oral cavity, skin, lymph nodes, breasts and
    ovaries every 1-3 years

    age 40-49
    Screening mammogram and clinical breast exam each year
    Pap test and pelvic exam every 2-3 years
    Periodic breast self-exam
    Cancer-related checkup including thyroid, oral cavity, skin, lymph nodes and ovaries
    every 1-3 years

    age 50-69
    Colonoscopy every 10 years
    Screening mammogram and clinical breast exam each year
    Pap test and pelvic exam every 2-3 years
    Periodic breast self-exam
    Cancer-related checkup including thyroid, oral cavity, skin, lymph nodes and ovaries
    every 1-2 years

    * Women at high risk for cancer because of family history, because of certain symptoms or signs, or because they are over the age of
    70 should have a specialized surveillance program designed with the help of a doctor. For example, women who have had an abnormal
    Pap test or have not had routine Pap tests in the past may need more frequent screening, and women with a family history of breast or
    ovarian cancer may need more frequent breast screening.
