Probably worth asking a few questions about what is being screened and why.
How sensitive/specific is the technique in picking up what its meant to?
How invasive is the technique?

Will it make a difference to my life?

Sorry to be so cynical, but I detest these barstuards who pray on our fears
Maximum, have chat to your friendly gp/practice nurse - he or she may be able to perform a few basics, and advise you about what screening is effective.
The ame is there to protect the public, not you,and little he does will make a difference in terms of longevity.
I have the pleasure of paying my ame a couple of hundred quid every few years, and there is probably not much in the medical which would make a difference to my long term health. I have to do it to keep flying.
If anyone knows any different, let me know, as I should then consider this for Jo Bloggs.
