Early Detection


Increasing awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer contributes to early detection of the disease. Where tests for cancer of specific sites are available and facilities are appropriate, screening of apparently healthy individuals can disclose cancer in early or precursor stages, when treatment may be most effective. Early detection is only successful when linked to effective treatment.

Beware of early signs like:

  1. Changes in Your Skin
  2. Nagging Cough
  3. Breast Changes
  4. Bloating
  5. Problems When You Pass Urine
  6. Swollen Lymph Nodes
  7. Blood When You Use the Bathroom
  8. Testicle Changes

  1. Trouble Swallowing
  2. Unusual Vaginal Bleeding
  3. Mouth Issues
  4. Weight Loss
  5. Fever
  6. Heartburn or Indigestion
  7. Fatigue

Screening


Screening refers to the use of simple tests across a healthy population in order to identify individuals who have disease, but do not yet have symptoms. Examples include breast cancer screening using mammography and cervical cancer screening using cytology screening methods, including Pap smears. Screening tests can help find cancer at an early stage, before symptoms appear. When abnormal tissue or cancer is found early, it may be easier to treat or cure. By the time symptoms appear, the cancer may have grown and spread. This can make the cancer harder to treat or cure.


Screening tests include the following


  • Physical exam and history : An exam of the body to check general signs of health, including checking for signs of disease, such as lumps or anything else that seems unusual. A history of the patient’s health habits and past illnesses and treatments will also be taken.
  • Laboratory tests : Medical procedures that test samples of tissue, blood, urine, or other substances in the body.
  • Imaging procedures : Procedures that make pictures of areas inside the body.
  • Genetic tests : Tests that look for certain gene mutations (changes) that are linked to some types of cancer.
