early detection methods

How Do Screening Tests Work?

Screening tests vary depending on the type of cancer being screened for. For example:
- Mammograms use low-dose X-rays to detect abnormal growths in breast tissue.
- Pap Smears involve collecting cells from the cervix to check for precancerous or cancerous changes.
- Colonoscopy involves inserting a long, flexible tube with a camera into the colon to look for polyps or cancer.
