How often should I take this test?

The frequency of when to repeat the test will depend on your score. If the test confirms an absence of cancer, this test can be repeated annually. In case the score is higher and hence indicates a degree of risk, then it is advisable to repeat the test after a shorter interval. Cancer survivors who are concerned as about the recurrence of cancer may also choose to take the test at shorter intervals. Non-cancer patients may choose to make this test part of their annual health check-up and as such take the test once a year.
