Even then, don't oncologists highly recommend an annual screening for the rest of your life?

Periodically, I think. I don't know how often. Unfortunately, everybody I know who has had cancer is no longer around.

I don't know about other cancer types but around here they do that for non-hodgkin-lyphoma. The first two years after remisson the screening is every 3 months. Year 3-4 every 6 months and year 5+ once every year.
