SCREENING TESTS FOR
CANCERS
 According to a study conducted by American Cancer Society, the death
rate due to cancer has consistently reduced over the past two decades.
This was possible due to the extensive research carried out throughout
the world in the cancer field with the help of cutting-edge technologies
in the medical field along. There are various screening test for
cancer which help to detect cancer accurately even at stage 0. These
early detecting techniques along with powerful chemotherapy and
other radiation techniques eradicate the disease for good.
SCREENING TESTS FOR VARIOUS
CANCER
 Colorectal Cancer can be detected earlier if we perform a special
screening tests known as Colonoscopy and Sigmoidoscopy which
accurately identifies the polyp’s growth in the colon which is the
abnormal tissue growth that can be entirely removed before it grows
into a cancerous cell.
 Faecal Occult Blood tests (FOBT) are the high sensitivity blood tests
also performed to reduce the risk of deaths from these colorectal
cancers.
CANCER SCREENING GUIDELINES BY
AGE
 The recommended age to screen for these tests is 50 and 75.
 Suppose you are a heavy smoker, then there is a specialized cancer
screening test which helps to prevent the risk of deaths from lung
cancer that is low-dose helical computed tomography. It also has a
recommended age between 55 and 74.
SCREEN TEST FOR BREAST CANCER
 Recent studies show that women are well aware of these screening
tests and as a routine, they have been included in the women’s
wellness package tests which are done every year. Also, doctors
educate women to do a simple self-test at home especially for women
after 35 or 40 to check for any lumps or abnormal bulge in and
around their bust area periodically. Once diagnosed earlier it is much
easier to nullify the severity of breast cancer.
CANCER SCREENING BLOOD TESTS
 Other cancer screening blood tests are administrated according to the
doctor’s recommendation and the cancer stage. Thus, in today’s age
and time with advancement in the medical field, the effect of cancer-
induced pain and life-threatening issues can be prevented. For
instance, CA-125 is a cancer screening blood tests which are used to
detect ovarian cancer at an earlier stage which is done along with a
transvaginal ultrasound.
