Medical Training AICancer Screening Protocols
You'll be able to select the right screening test and interval for a given patient's risk profile and explain the tradeoffs in shared decision-making.
What this track covers
This track covers evidence-based screening for breast, colorectal, lung, cervical, and prostate cancer, including how to interpret guideline differences across major bodies and apply risk stratification tools. It emphasizes matching test choice and interval to individual risk rather than applying a single default protocol.
What you will practice
- Choosing between mammography strategies based on individual risk and family history
- Selecting a colorectal screening modality among colonoscopy, FIT, stool DNA, and CT colonography
- Applying pack-year criteria to determine lung cancer screening eligibility
- Interpreting Pap and HPV co-testing results against current interval recommendations
- Framing PSA testing tradeoffs for a shared decision-making conversation
Simulator scenario
A patient presents for a routine visit with a mixed family history and asks whether they're due for screening, requiring the clinician to stratify risk and recommend an appropriate test and interval.
Board question topics
- Risk-based mammography start age and intervals
- Colorectal screening modality selection criteria
- Lung cancer screening eligibility thresholds
- Cervical screening interval and co-testing rules
