Early diagnosis of cancer is essential as it significantly improves treatment prospects.

The sooner a tumor is detected, the better the chances of recovery.

The first step in diagnosis is a detailed interview of the patient. After it, a medical examination is carried out.

The doctor can use various examination methods to determine the exact position of the tumor:

• CT scan,
• MRI,
• Gastroscopy,
• Colonoscopy,
• Mammography,
• Cancer screening,
• X-ray,
• Laboratory tests,
• Digital dermoscopy,
• Ultrasound using MSV technology.

Cancer screening — screening for the early detection of cancer.

The sooner cancer is detected, the better the chances of recovery.

If the cancer has already metastasized, the chances of a cure are reduced. Therefore, prevention (early detection of cancer) plays an important role.

Cancer prevention mainly consists of early detection of cancer:

• Cervix,
• Breast,
• Skin,
• Colon,
• Prostate.

Recommendations for cancer screening:

• For women — from the age of 20, an annual examination of the genital organs.
  • From the age of 30, breast cancer screening is performed,
  • From 35 years old — for skin cancer,
  • From 50-55 years old — for colon cancer.
• For men:
  • From 35 years old — screening for skin cancer from 35 years old.
  • From 45 years old — for cancer of the prostate and genital organs,
  • From 50-55 years old — for colon cancer.
