Abstract
Annual screening for cervical cancer is recommended from the onset of sexual maturity onward. Mammography has been recommended after the age of 50 to 70. Colorectal cancer should be looked for by hemoccult-test after 40 to 50 years of age. The negative consequences of false positive test results are in general considered acceptable. They seem unacceptable at the time being for cancer of the breast between 40 and 50 years of age and for cancer of the prostate.
