The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) provides evidence-based recommendations for various preventive health services. Here’s a summary of their screening recommendations for the conditions you mentioned:

Cervical Cancer:

• Ages 21-29:
  • The USPSTF recommends screening every 3 years with cervical cytology (Pap test) alone.
• Ages 30-65:
  • The USPSTF recommends screening every 5 years with high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) testing alone.
  • Alternative effective screening options include:
    • Screening every 3 years with cervical cytology alone.
    • Screening every 5 years with a combination of cytology and hrHPV testing (co-testing).
• Recommendations against screening:
  • Women younger than 21 years.
  • Women older than 65 years who have had adequate prior screening and are not at high risk.
  • Women who have had a hysterectomy with removal of the cervix and do not have a history of high-grade precancerous lesions or cervical cancer.  

Breast Cancer:

• Ages 40-74:
  • The USPSTF recommends biennial screening mammography for women aged 40 to 74 years. The decision to start regular, biennial screening mammography in women before age 50 years should be an individual one. Women should weigh the benefits and harms of screening mammography with their health care provider.

Osteoporosis:

• The USPSTF recommends screening for osteoporosis with bone measurement testing to prevent osteoporotic fractures in women 65 years and older.  
• The USPSTF also recommends screening for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women younger than 65 years who are at increased risk of osteoporosis, as determined by a formal clinical risk assessment tool.  

Colorectal Cancer:

• Ages 45-75:
  • The USPSTF recommends screening for colorectal cancer in all adults aged 45 to 75 years.
  • There are various screening options available, including stool-based tests, colonoscopy, and sigmoidoscopy. The choice of screening test should be individualized based on patient preferences and risk factors.

Lung Cancer:

• High-Risk Adults:
  • The USPSTF recommends annual screening for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in adults aged 50 to 80 years who have a 20 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years.  

Ovarian Cancer:

• The USPSTF recommends against screening for ovarian cancer in asymptomatic women.

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV):

• The USPSTF recommends screening for intimate partner violence (IPV) in women of reproductive age and providing or referring women who screen positive to intervention services.

It’s important to note:

• These are general recommendations, and individual risk factors may necessitate different screening schedules.
• Patients should discuss their screening options with their healthcare providers to determine the best course of action.
• The USPSTF recommendations are regularly updated, so it is important to refer to the most current guidelines.
