1. Why is Early Detection Important?

Early cancer detection increases the chances of successful treatment. It often requires less aggressive therapies and helps maintain a better quality of life.

2. Lab Tests for Cancer Diagnosis

  • Blood Tests – Detect tumor markers, abnormal blood cell counts, and organ function changes.
  • Biopsy – A sample of tissue is examined under a microscope to confirm the presence of cancer.
  • Genetic Testing – Identifies inherited cancer risks and helps in personalized treatment planning.
  • Cytology Tests – Study of cells in fluids (e.g., Pap smear for cervical cancer).

3. Common Cancer Screening Tests

  • Mammogram – X-ray of the breast to detect early signs of breast cancer.
  • Pap Smear & HPV Test – Detects cervical cancer or precancerous changes.
  • Colonoscopy – Screens for colorectal cancer by examining the colon and rectum.
  • Low-Dose CT Scan (LDCT) – Recommended for lung cancer screening in high-risk individuals.
  • PSA Test – Measures Prostate-Specific Antigen levels for prostate cancer detection.

4. Imaging & Advanced Diagnostics

  • Ultrasound – Helps detect tumors in soft tissues.
  • MRI & CT Scan – Provides detailed images to locate and assess tumors.
  • PET-CT Scan – Detects cancer spread and helps in treatment planning.
  • X-rays – Basic imaging for lung and bone cancers.
