Cancer Screening

Clinical Practice Recommendations

Cancer Screening

recommendations iconRecommendations for Cancer Screening

Ensure that patients with diabetes receive cancer screening tests according to national guidelines:

  • Check periodically for updated cancer screening protocols.

Cancer screening is a core component of the care of people with diabetes. Routine screening for and early detection of breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers can reduce morbidity and mortality. Diabetes is associated with at least a two-fold increased risk for cancers of the liver, pancreas, and endometrium, and a 1.2- to 1.5-fold increased risk for cancers of the colon and rectum, breast, and bladder. While screening tests are not available for many cancers, providers are encouraged to take this increased cancer risk into account when discussing cancer screening tests with patients as well as when evaluating symptoms of unknown cause or an abnormality on laboratory studies or radiologic imaging.
