Discussion 3. Leonard Einstein.

The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is an independent panel of experts in primary care and prevention that systematically reviews the evidence of effectiveness and develops recommendations for clinical preventive services. The task force, a panel of primary care physicians and epidemiologists, is funded, staffed, and appointed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The USPSTF evaluates scientific evidence to determine whether medical screenings, counseling, and preventive medications work for adults and children who have no symptoms (Kennedy-Malone, Fletcher, & Martin-Plank, 2014, pp. 31-47).

Colon cancer screening by colonoscopy, occult blood testing, or sigmoidoscopy in adults 50 to 75. Colorectal cancer is common and preventable in adults >50 years. The USPSTF recommends screening for colorectal cancer using fecal occult blood testing, sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy, in adults, beginning at age 50 years and continuing until age 75 years. The risks and benefits of these screening methods vary (Kennedy-Malone, Fletcher, & Martin-Plank, 2014, pp. 31-47).
