FAQs about Cancer Screening
Cancer Screening is a routine checkup to check for the presence of cancer in people who do not exhibit any symptoms of having it. This allows for early diagnosis and treatment before the disease progresses further.
Screening tests that have a history of delivering accurate, precise results with high-quality imaging technology are considered to be good Cancer Screening tests. Additionally, many types of cancers have their own set of tests relevant specifically to them.
Patients who have a genetic risk of developing a form of Cancer opt for Cancer Screening. Additionally, many people undergo Cancer screening as part of a routine check-up, or if they may be at risk of cancer due to lifestyle or environment factors.
The results of the screening tests are initially read by the specialist who does an in-depth analysis of the results and then consults with you on the follow-up steps to take. You will also be provided with a copy of the results for your reference.
The initial step is to consult with our specialist and discuss the motives behind getting screened. We then recommend the necessary steps and tests to be conducted, for a precise diagnosis of the presence or absence of cancer in your body.
Depending on your risk factors, the doctor recommends how often you should be getting screened for cancer. However, most people go for Cancer Screening once every year, unless suggested otherwise.
Any test that does not possess the accurate technology or mechanism to diagnose a form of cancer is a bad Cancer Screening Test. For examples, solely diagnosing cancer on the basis of a simple X-ray is considered a bad screening test.
Most imaging technology involved in the screening of cancer involves some radiation. However, the amount of radiation you are exposed to is minimal and does not cause adverse effects on the body in any way.
Though there is no guarantee that taking precautions help with preventing cancer, you can take various precautionary measures to reduce the risk. Some are to exercise every day, stay hydrated, avoid smoking, among others.
Many cancer screening tests are not perfect. Many tests may show a false negative (where cancer does not show up), or a false positive (where cancer is mistakenly diagnosed)
