Early screening tests to detect cancer while it can still be cured. The earlier a cancer is detected the better the chance of a cure. Most of the recent gains in reducing cancer deaths come from better screening, rather than significant changes in therapy.
There is no gain in denial, or fear of being screened. Cancer can be beaten, but cures happen most often in early stage cancers.
Explore the importance ofcancer screening, various screening methods,and how adopting a proactive approach cansignificantly improve outcomes.
Some cancers release specific proteins into the bloodstream. Blood tests measuring these tumor markers can aid in the early detection and monitoring of certain cancers, although they are often used in conjunction with other screening methods.
The primary goal is to monitor, detect and understand cancer at any stage, supporting most effective treatment options, and potentially preventing the spread of the disease.
