Medical surveillance is crucial for several reasons:
Early Detection: Detecting cancer at an early stage significantly improves the chances of successful treatment and survival. Recurrence Monitoring: For patients who have been treated for cancer, regular follow-up can help detect any recurrence or metastasis early. Side Effect Management: Cancer treatments can have long-term side effects. Surveillance helps in managing these side effects and improving the quality of life. Risk Reduction: For individuals with genetic predispositions or other risk factors, surveillance can help in implementing preventive measures.
