Answer and explanation:
<u>Cancer screenings</u><u> are fundamental in the process of diagnosing cancer at an early point</u> (sometimes even before symptoms appear) which can directly impact the prognosis of the patient.
<u>Both Mr. and Mrs. Brown</u><u>, being above 60 years of age</u>, should get screened for several cancers. Two very common and death-threatening cancers that can appear at their age regardless of the patient's sex are Lung cancer and Colorectal cancer. Lung cancer screening is usually done through a low-dose CT scan and is a strongly suggested screen test if the patient is or was a heavy smoker since tabaquism highly increases the risk of lung cancer (among other cancers as well). Colorectal cancer can be screened through a colonoscopy, which is a test that consists of the endoscopic examination of the rectum, the colon, and the distal part of the small intestine.
Mr. Brown, who is a male, should also get checked for Prostate cancer through a Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test which, if found abnormal, should be followed by a prostate biopsy.
Mrs. Brown, a female, should get screened for two additional very common cancers in women: Breast Cancer and Cervical cancer. Breast cancer can be screened through mammograms, and Cervical cancer can be diagnosed through either an HPV test or a Pap test.
<u>It is also important to remind both patients that these screenings should be repeated every year.</u>
