Various screening methods are designed to detect cancer early. Some of the most common include:
- Mammograms: Used for early detection of breast cancer. - Pap Smears: Effective in identifying cervical cancer. - Colonoscopy: Primarily used for detecting colorectal cancer. - Low-dose CT scans: Recommended for individuals at high risk of lung cancer, such as long-term smokers. - PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) Tests: Utilized for early detection of prostate cancer.
These screening methods play a pivotal role in identifying cancer at an early, more treatable stage.
