Cancer Screening, Diagnosis & Prevention
The main goal of cancer screening is to reduce the number of people who die from the disease, or eliminate deaths from cancer altogether. Some cancer screening tests are Colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, and high-sensitivity fecal occult blood tests (FOBTs), Low-dose helical computed tomography, Mammography, Pap test and human papillomavirus (HPV) testing. Others Screening tests are Alpha-fetoprotein blood test, Breast MRI, CA-125 test, PSA test, Virtual colonoscopy.
Cancer Prevention and risk-reduction strategies can greatly lower the physical, emotional, and financial burden of cancer and improve the overall health of cancer survivors, including lowering the risk of the cancer coming back or the formation of a second cancer. It is estimated that more than 72% worldwide populations are having cancer, nowadays 30-50% cancers can be prevented.
