Editorial Note on Methods of Cancer Diagnosis

Peter Smith

The best chance of finding a cure is to catch cancer early on. With this in mind, discuss the sorts of cancer screenings that may be appropriate for you with your doctor.

Screening tests have been shown in studies to save lives by finding cancer early in a few cancers. Other cancer screening tests are only approved for persons who are at a higher risk.

A variety of medical societies and patient advocacy groups provide cancer screening recommendations and guidelines. Examine the many options with your doctor, and you and he will determine which is the best option for you based on your unique cancer risk factors.
