Doralyn Jones DO OBJECTIVES  Understand how USPSTF guidelines are developed     and the ratings classification Recognize the differences in screening guidelines and be able to describe the USPSTF guidelines for various cancer screenings Know recommendation screening for common sexually transmitted diseases Define current screening practices for: coronary artery disease, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, peprostate, colon and lung cancer Know preventative care screening guidelines for various male and female conditions Why do we Screen?  To Prevent morbidity and mortality  Stop damage before symptoms appear  Identify people who are particularly vulnerable to disease  Protect the public from spread of disease I have a healthy person, what screening tests to use?  Burden of disease must be sufficient to warrant screening; does it cause severe disease, disability, death; what is prevalence and are there high risk groups  Test is high quality, accurate detection when asymptomatic, high sensitivity and specificity, reproducible results, safe, simple, cost effective What screening tests to use?  Screening reduces morbidity and mortality, effective treatment for disease, early detection improves survival, outweigh adverse effects of screening, treatment, early diagnosis, randomized control trial of screening shows benefit  DON’T FORGET the importance of a thorough History and Physical!

Offer or provide service C The USPSTF recommends selectively offering or providing this service to individual patients based on professional judgment and patient preferences. There is at least moderate certainty that the net benefit is small. Offer or provide service for selected patients depending on individual circumstances D I Statemen t The USPSTF recommends against the service. There is moderate or high certainty that the service has no net benefit or that the harms outweigh the benefits. The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of the service. Evidence is lacking, of poor quality, or conflicting, and the balance of benefits and harms cannot be determined. Discourage use of service Read the clinical considerations section of USPSTF Recommendation Statement. If the service is offered, patients should understand the uncertainty about the balance of benefits and harms. Breast Cancer Breast Cancer  Most common cancer diagnosed in women  Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States  Film mammography is the standard for detecting breast cancer BREAST CANCER Risk factors            Age greater than 50 years Prior history of breast cancer Family history Early menarche, before age 12 Late menopause, after age 50 Nulliparity Age greater than 30 at first birth Obesity High socioeconomic status Atypical hyperplasia on biopsy Ionizing radiation exposure Breast Cancer Screening Summary of 2009 USPSTF Recommendations  The USPSTF recommends biennial screening mammography for women aged 50 to 74 years. Grade: B recommendation.  The decision to start regular, biennial screening mammography before the age of 50 years should be an individual one and take patient context into account, including the patient's values regarding specific benefits and harms. Grade: C recommendation.  The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the additional benefits and harms of screening mammography in women 75 years or older.

Grade: D recommendation Women of any age following a hysterectomy with removal of the cervix who have no history of CIN2+ should not be screened for vaginal cancer. Evidence of adequate negative prior screening is not required. Screening should not be resumed for any reason, including if a woman reports having a new sexual partner. HPV vaccinated Women who have been vaccinated should continue to be screened. Recommended screening practices should not change on the basis of HPV vaccination status. Ovarian Cancer Screening  USPSTF Do not screen (grade D)  AAFP against routine screening (grade D)  ACS no recommended screen  ACOG no recommended routine screening Endometrial Cancer Screening  NO screening routine recommended  Inform your post-menopausal patients that any bleeding AFTER menopause should be brought to a doctor’s attention  Post menopausal vaginal bleeding is considered malignancy until proven otherwise OSTEOPOROSIS  The USPSTF recommends screening for osteoporosis in women aged 65 years or older and in younger women whose fracture risk is equal to or greater than that of a 65-year-old white woman who has no additional risk factors.

STD SCREENING GUIDELINES HIV  CDC Recommends screening individuals age 13-64 at least once  screening high risk individuals annually  STD SCREENING GUIDELINES  Gonorrhea and Chlamydia  USPSTF  The USPSTF recommends that clinicians screen all sexually active women, including those who are pregnant, for gonorrhea infection if they are at increased risk for infection (that is, if they are young or have other individual or population risk factors). Grade: B Recommendation.  The USPSTF found insufficient evidence to recommend for or against routine screening for gonorrhea infection in men at increased risk for infection. Rating: I Statement.  The USPSTF recommends against routine screening for gonorrhea infection in men and women who are at low risk for infection. Rating: D Recommendation.  The USPSTF found insufficient evidence to recommend for or against routine screening for gonorrhea infection in pregnant women who are not at increased risk for infection. Rating: I Statement. STD Screening Guidelines  Gonorrhea and Chlamydia  CDC  Sexually active females < 25 yrs old should be tested annually Prostate Cancer Screening  The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends against PSA blood screening in men younger than age 75 years. Grade: D  AAFP – same as USPSTF  ACS – Starting at age 50, men should talk to a doctor about the pros and cons of testing. Men who are African American or have a father or brother who had prostate cancer before age 65, should have this talk with a doctor starting at age 45. Testing includes the PSA blood test with or without a rectal exam. How often they are tested will depend on their PSA level.  AUA – may start screening as young as age 40 with PSA and DRE Colorectal Cancer Screening, USPSTF  The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends screening for colorectal cancer using fecal occult blood testing, sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy in adults, beginning at age 50 years and continuing until age 75 years. The risks and benefits of these screening methods may vary. Grade: A  The USPSTF recommends against routine screening for colorectal cancer in adults 76 to 85 years of age. There may be considerations that support colorectal cancer screening in an individual patient. Grade: C  The USPSTF recommends against screening for colorectal cancer in adults older than age 85 years. Grade: D  The USPSTF concludes that the evidence is insufficient to assess the benefits and harms of computed tomographic colonography and fecal DNA testing as screening modalities of colorectal cancer. Grade: I Lung Cancer Screening  The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force USPSTF) concludes that the evidence is insufficient to recommend for or against screening asymptomatic persons for lung cancer with either low dose computerized tomography (LDCT), chest x-ray (CXR), sputum cytology, or a combination of these tests. Grade: I Skin Cancer Screening, USPSTF  Recommendation: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of using whole-body skin examination by a primary care clinician or patient skin self-examination for the early detection of cutaneous melanoma, basal cell cancer, or squamous cell skin cancer in the adult general population. Grade: I Coronary heart disease screening; USPSTF  The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends against routine screening with resting electrocardiography (ECG), exercise treadmill test (ETT), or electron-beam computerized tomography (EBCT) scanning for coronary calcium for either the presence of severe coronary artery stenosis (CAS) or the prediction of coronary heart disease (CHD) events in adults at low risk for CHD events. Grade: D  The USPSTF found insufficient evidence to recommend for or against routine screening with ECG, ETT, or EBCT scanning for coronary calcium for either the presence of severe CAS or the prediction of CHD events in adults at increased risk for CHD events.
