Cancer Screening in the United States, 2019: A Review of Current American Cancer Society Guidelines and Current Issues in Cancer Screening

The American Cancer Society (ACS) provides an annual report for health care professionals and the public that summarizes the current ACS cancer screening guidelines, including recommendations and updates, and guidance related to early cancer detection when a direct recommendation for screening cannot be made. This annual report also includes the recent data on cancer screening rates and rates of adherence to multiple screening guidelines based on age, sex and socioeconomic status along with a discussion of issues related to early cancer detection.
