Abstract:
Cancer screening is one of the most common requests directed to primary care physicians in the office setting. In this article, we look at current recommendations, evidence for, and controversy surrounding screening for cancers of the lung, colon, and prostate, which together account for 51% of cancer deaths in men. We also look at screening for testicular cancer, which, although a relatively minor contributor to cancer mortality, is a prototypically male cancer with a proposed screening test.
