Entre los 76 y 85 la decisión se tomará de forma individual y según factores de riesgo, pues los beneficios a esta edad son pequeños. No se recomienda cribado después del os 85. Estas recomendaciones no son válidas para pacientes con factores de riesgo. El intervalo de pruebas sería para cada prueba: -SOH anual. -Sigmoidoscopia cada 5 años combinada con SOH cada 3 años. -Colonoscopia cada 10 años.
Cáncer de próstata: USPSTF El cribado rutinario no es aconsejable. Los pacientes que lo solicitan deben ser informados acerca del beneficio y perjuicios de la detección precoz así como del tratamiento.
