Cancer Detection

Cancer detection refers to the methods and processes used to identify the presence of cancer in an individual. This can involve a variety of techniques, including medical imaging (such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans), laboratory tests (such as blood tests and biopsies), and physical examinations. Early detection of cancer is crucial as it can significantly improve the chances of successful treatment and survival. Screening programs aim to detect cancer before symptoms appear, thereby facilitating early intervention. Cancer detection methods may vary depending on the type of cancer and its typical progression.
