What to do about it

Check-ups recommended for a 47-year-old man in Luxembourg

Blood pressure check
every year from 40 (every 3 years before)
Bowel cancer screening (stool test)
every 2 years, ages 45–74 (home stool test)
Cholesterol & heart-risk check

If a parent, brother, sister or child had:

Bowel cancer in the family — earlier bowel check
often a colonoscopy every 5 years from 40 (or 10 years before your relative's age at diagnosis, if earlier) · ask your doctor
Prostate cancer in the family — PSA test
from 45 (a father or brother diagnosed before 60), if you choose to be tested · ask your doctor
