Several screening tests are commonly used depending on the type of cancer:
- Mammograms: Used to detect breast cancer. - Pap Smears and HPV Testing: Used for cervical cancer screening. - Colonoscopy: Used to screen for colorectal cancer. - Low-Dose CT Scans: For lung cancer screening in high-risk individuals. - PSA Tests: Used for prostate cancer screening.
Each of these tests has specific guidelines on who should be screened and how often.
