Cervical Cancer
- Cervical cancer screening starts at the age of 21 regardless of the onset of sexual activity via Papanicolaou test (Cervical cytology).[2]
- According to the GLOBOCAN 2018 estimates of cancer incidence, mortality, and prevalence, cervical cancer ranks fourth for both incidence and mortality among females.[3]

Colorectal Cancer
- Colorectal cancer screening starts among asymptomatic adults at the age of 50 with no family history of adenoma or colorectal cancer. It is preferably done via colonoscopy[4]
- According to the GLOBOCAN 2018 estimates of cancer incidence, mortality, and prevalence, Colon cancer is the fourth commonly occurring cancer (6.1% for incidence). It is the third cause of death in cancer patients (9.2% for mortality).[3]

- According to the GLOBOCAN 2018 estimates of cancer incidence, mortality, and prevalence, Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer (11.6% of the total cases) and the leading cause of cancer death (18.4% of the total cancer deaths).[3]
