Every year in the US most americans get an annual physical from our doctor if we have insurance. It usually consists of getting some bloodwork done, vitals basic questions etc. Then going over those results and any concerns you may have and nothing else.
I always hear those horror stories of people just all of a sudden being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and theres nothing that can be done. Maybe im missing something.

Women get routine pap smears (not always yearly) as adults and routine mammograms at 40+. Both of these are cancer screenings for the most common types. Men get prostate exams for the same reason. Colonoscopies are now recommended at 45, again to find a common but treatable cancer early.
