Screening and Surveillance
for cancer Screening and surveillance for cancer is a process of looking for signs of the disease in people who are at risk or have no symptoms. It is an important part of a comprehensive cancer control program, as it enables early detection and timely management of the disease. Screening and surveillance can be used to identify cancers in people who do not have clear signs of the disease. It can also be used to help decide if a person is at risk of developing cancer, or if they may have had it in the past. Early detection and prompt treatment of cancer can improve the chances of successful treatment and help reduce the burden of the disease. In addition, surveillance for cancer can help to identify changes in a person’s health, which may indicate the need for follow-up tests or further evaluation. Screening and surveillance for cancer is a critical component of cancer control, and is an essential part of a comprehensive public health program.
