CANCER SCREENING

Cancer is the growth of abnormal cells in the body. Cancer can develop in any part of the body and form a mass of tissue called a tumor. At times, cancer can go undetectable, but a mass on the body is a distinct indication that should be tested. There is no single cause of the uncontrolled growth of cells, but if caught early, the organ can be saved. There are several different methods of cancer screening, depending on the site of your concern. Mammograms can be used to help detect breast cancer.

Common can occur anywhere on the body, including the bones and your blood. Here are the most common types of cancer:

Bladder Cancer
Breast Cancer
Colon and Rectal Cancer
Endometrial Cancer
Kidney Cancer
Leukemia
Liver Lung Cancer
Melanoma
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Pancreatic Cancer
Prostate Cancer
Thyroid Cancer

There are three main treatments of cancer:

Surgery: removing the tumor
Chemotherapy: a chemical treatment that kills cancer cells
Radiation therapy: a treatment that involves a x-ray that kills cancer cells

Your doctor can suggest how often and when you should be screened. Depending on your family health history and personal history, your doctor can coordinate a screening schedule.
