Colon CA -- who to screen?
if no inherited syndromes and no IBD:

*if 1 family member with colon cancer= begin 10 years earlier than the family member developed their cancer or age 40, whichever is younger
* if there are 3 family member, 2 generation, or 1 premature before 50 year (HNPCC)= start screening at age of 25 with colonoscopy every 1—2 years
*if there is family Hx of FAP = start screening with sigmoidoscopy at age of 12 year every year
*if the patient has previous Hx of colon cancer= patient should have colonoscopy at 1 year after resection, then every 5 years
*If confirmed colon adenomas, regardless of histological type should have full screening colonoscopy.

What cancers have no recommended screening?
Screening for bladder, testicular, pancreatic, or thyroid cancer in asymptomatic
adults is not recommended (Level D
What is the screening for prostate CA?
USPSTF currently finds insufficient evidence to recommend for or against routine screening (Level I) for prostate cancer using digital examination or prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in men younger than 75 years. Although testing improves detection of prostate cancer, the evidence for improved outcomes is inconsistent.

Screening for prostate cancer in asymptomatic men older than 75 years is also not recommended (Level D).

peripheral arterial disease (PAD)?
no screening
obesity screening?

immunity, and who are at risk for exposure to varicella virus
Meningococcal immunization?
