Who are "we"? I'm certainly not "regularly" screened.

That's your choice, assuming you live in a developed country.

Assuming the United States see here:

and if elsewhere consult your local CDC equivalent.

Current screening methods tend to be costly and/or uncomfortable for the person being screened. A simple blood test could lead to higher uptake and more regular screening.
