Screening Guidelines for the Early Detection of Breast Cancer, American Cancer Society
Yearly mammograms are recommended starting at age 40.
A clinical breast exam should be part of a periodic health exam, about every three years for women in their 20s and 30s, and every year for women 40 and older.
Women should know how their breasts normally feel and report any breast changes promptly to their health care providers. Breast self-exam is an option for women starting in their 20s.
Women at increased risk (e.g., family history, genetic tendency, past breast cancer) should talk with their doctors about the benefits and limitations of starting mammography screening earlier, having additional tests (i.e., breast ultrasound and MRI), or having more frequent exams.

Screening Guidelines for the Early Detection of Cervical Cancer, American Cancer Society
Screening should begin approximately three years after a women begins having vaginal intercourse, but no later than 21 years of age.
Screening should be done every year with regular Pap tests or every two years using liquid-based tests.
At or after age 30, women who have had three normal test results in a row may get screened every 2-3 years. However, doctors may suggest a woman get screened more frequently if she has certain risk factors, such as HIV infection or a weakened immune system.
Women 70 and older who have had three or more consecutive Pap tests in the last ten years may choose to stop cervical cancer screening.
Screening after a total hysterectomy (with removal of the cervix) is not necessary unless the surgery was done as a treatment for cervical cancer.

Screening Guidelines for the Early Detection of Colorectal Cancer, American Cancer Society
Beginning at age 50, men and women should follow one of the following examination schedules:
A fecal occult blood test (FOBT) every year
A flexible sigmoidoscopy (FSIG) every five years
Annual fecal occult blood test and flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years*
A double-contrast barium enema every five years
A colonoscopy every ten years
*Combined testing is preferred over either annual FOBT or FSIG every 5 years alone.
People who are at moderate or high risk for colorectal cancer should talk with a doctor about a different testing schedule

Screening Guidelines for the Early Detection of Prostate Cancer, American Cancer Society
The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test and the digital rectal examination (DRE) should be offered annually, beginning at age 50, to men who have a life expectancy of at least 10 years.
Men at high risk (African-American men and men with a strong family history of one or more first-degree relatives diagnosed with prostate cancer at an early age) should begin testing at age 45.
For men at average risk and high risk, information should be provided about what is known and what is uncertain about the benefits and limitations of early detection and treatment of prostate cancer so that they can make an informed decision about testing.
