WHAT IS CANCER SCREENING?
Cancer screening is looking for cancer before a person has any symptoms. There are different kinds of screening tests.
DOES SCREENING HELP PEOPLE LIVE LONGER?
- Finding some cancers at an early stage (before symptoms appear) may help decrease the chance of dying from those cancers.
- Screening studies are done to see whether deaths from cancer decrease when people are screened.
- Certain factors may cause survival times to look like they are getting better when they are not.
