"Rising Cancer Rates Among Younger Adults: Screening and Prevention Strategies"
Princess Kate's cancer diagnosis highlights the importance of regular disease screenings at every age, not just for cancer but also for heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions. Starting in your 20s, doctors recommend regular STI testing, diabetes screening, cholesterol tests, and dental, skin, and eye exams. In your 30s, focus on heart health, skin cancer prevention, and sexual health. In your 40s, prepare for colon screening and mammograms. In your 50s, consider lung cancer and prostate exams. In your 60s, prioritize bone density tests and abdominal aortic aneurysm tests for men. Regular screenings at an early age can have a significant impact on disease outcomes.
