VNCancer Screening is an important measure for early detection of cancer, when the disease has not yet progressed and no symptoms have appeared. Cancer screening helps identify cancer risks, detect and diagnose cancer at an early stage, increasing the chances of successful treatment and improving the 5-year survival rate without recurrence.
Cancer Screening Package at Dr. Connect
Each type of cancer has its own screening method. However, the general cancer screening process is typically carried out as follows:
Step 1: Clinical Examination
This is a basic step in cancer screening. The doctor will inquire about risk factors, personal and family medical history, assess your general health, and ask about any unusual symptoms in your body. This information serves as a basis for the doctor to recommend appropriate screening methods.
Step 2: Perform Basic Laboratory Tests
After the clinical examination, you will be scheduled for some basic laboratory tests, such as blood tests, cell tests, stool tests, etc.
Step 3: Imaging Diagnostics
In addition to the above tests, the doctor may order imaging diagnostics through methods such as endoscopy, ultrasound, X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans.
