WHAT IS CANCER SCREENING.....?

Screening is looking for Cancer before a Person has any symptoms. This can help find cancer at an early stage.
When abnormal tissue or cancer is found early, it may be easier to treat. By the time, symptoms appear, cancer may have begun to spread.
It is important to remember that your doctor does not think you have cancer if doctor suggests a Screening Test.
Screening tests are given when you have no cancer symptoms. If a screening test result is abnormal, you may need to have more tests done to find out if you have cancer. These are called Diagnostic Tests.
