Some tumours are age related! What screening tests are done at different ages?

Today we are going to talk to you about some tips on medical check-ups. What should I look for in a medical check-up? Does it have anything to do with age? This is actually a question that is often asked, and in this article we will talk about it in a little depth.This article covers.What to look for in a medical check-up and how to choose the items.Are there any age-related medical check-ups?What is a medical check-up and how do I choose one?

This is a specialist topic. What to look for in a medical examination is related to age, gender, past medical history, family history, previous medical records and results.

Of course age is an important reference indicator. For example, a young man of 25 years old will have a different medical check-up than a 65 year old grandfather, for example.

A 65 year old grandfather, who has smoked for over 30 years, 1 pack a day, will need a low dose CT lung check to screen for lung cancer.

A 25 year old lad, whether he smokes or not, I would not recommend a lung CT.

For a 40 year old woman, breast cancer and cervical cancer screening is a must.

There is also the fact that we need to take family history seriously. If a family member, especially a sibling’s parent, has breast or colorectal cancer, special attention needs to be paid and it is likely that screening will be brought forward, for example, from the age of 45 to 40 or even earlier.

We would also like to remind you not to lose your medical reports, as these results affect our next medical check-up, for example.

HPV + TCT is normal this year, then you don’t need to do it next year.

If the colonoscopy is good this year, you don’t need to do it next year, you can do it 10 years later.

Are there any age-related medical check-ups?

We are often asked questions like, “I’m 45 years old, what exactly should I look for in a medical check-up?

It is really difficult to answer this question because it is still not possible to determine your health risks based on your age alone. If we assume that you are all normal, have no family history of cancer, are very healthy, have no history of major illnesses and have been screened in the past and are normal, then the advice is a little better to give.

But we are dealing with people with very different health conditions, for example, another person may have a family history of bowel cancer, may have had surgery for a lung malignancy a year ago, or may have had a normal cervical screening, etc.

Having said that, you should know that you cannot accurately determine what to check for based on age alone. However, there are some tumour screening tests that are closely related to age, and here is a list of cancer screening tests based on age given by the American Cancer Society for your reference.

Before you refer to it, there are a few knowledgeable points to remind you.

1. You need to know whether you are at high risk of having a certain tumour or not, and this needs to be determined by your doctor.

2. The frequency of screening for each item is not necessarily 1 per year, which must be noted and discussed with your doctor.

3. Knowing the results of your previous tests can help determine the timing and frequency of your next test.

Although medical check-ups can help us detect certain diseases, they cannot prevent them from occurring. So here are some things that are suitable for everyone and can’t be repeated too many times.

1. stay away from tobacco, including second-hand smoke.

2. Maintain a healthy weight.

3. Get moving and spend less time sitting or lying flat.

4. follow a healthy eating pattern.

5. Don’t drink alcohol, and if you do, limit it.
