Screening Tools
There are several cancer screening tools that are recommended for adults, depending on age and gender, such as mammograms, colonoscopy, PAP smears, or even lung cancer screen (in those with history of smoking). The goal of these screenings is to catch abnormal cells or detect early cancer while still contained in the primary tissue or organ.
Recommended screening results in:
- increasing chances of successful treatment and
- decreasing chances of metastatic disease.
