Cancer Screening
Cancer screening involves testing for cancer before symptoms appear, increasing the chances of early detection and successful treatment. The type of screening depends on age, gender, family history, and risk factors.
Symptoms & Risks:
Unexplained weight loss
Fatigue
Changes in skin or moles
Persistent pain or bleeding
New lumps or masses
Diagnosis & Monitoring:
Regular screening intervals based on guidelines
Follow-up imaging or biopsies if abnormalities are found
Genetic testing for high-risk patients
Common Screenings Offered:
Mammograms (breast cancer)
Pap smears and HPV testing (cervical cancer)
Colonoscopies or stool tests (colorectal cancer)
Low-dose CT scans (lung cancer for high-risk smokers)
PSA blood test (prostate cancer)
Treatment Options:
While cancer screening itself is not a treatment, it plays a vital role in identifying cancer early, often before symptoms appear, when treatment is most effective. If a screening test indicates an abnormal result, the following steps may be involved:
1. Diagnostic Follow-Up
Biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer cells
Imaging tests (e.g., MRI, CT scan, ultrasound) for further evaluation
Additional lab work or genetic testing for precision targeting
2. Referral to Oncology or Specialty Care
Timely referrals to oncologists, surgeons, or radiation specialists
Multidisciplinary care planning to assess the best treatment path
3. Common Treatment Options (Depending on Cancer Type & Stage)
Surgical intervention to remove tumors or affected tissue
Radiation therapy to target cancer cells
Chemotherapy to treat cancer systemically
Immunotherapy or targeted therapy for certain types of cancer
Hormone therapy (e.g., for breast or prostate cancers)
4. Ongoing Monitoring and Survivorship Support
Regular follow-up exams, imaging, and labs
Supportive care services, including nutrition, counseling, and rehab
