Cancer screening are methods and tests performed to detect cancer before the patient has any symptoms.
Breast cancer
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women.
The patient is undergoing digital mammography.
According to experts, women should start having mammograms to screen for breast cancer from age 40.
Colorectal cancer
For people at average risk of colorectal cancer, the American Cancer Society recommends starting regular screening at age 45. Screening for colorectal cancer is usually done with a test.
Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer is also one of the types of cancer that affects many women.
Lung cancer
Lung cancer screening is not as common as screening for other types of cancer.
Prostate cancer
The American Cancer Society recommends that from age 50, men should discuss with their doctors about the pros and cons of prostate cancer screening to decide whether to perform these methods or not.
Cancer screening can help patients detect the disease at an early stage, thereby providing timely treatment and prolonging life.
