When you go in for a check-up, your health care provider will do some medical tests called screening tests. Screening tests can find cancer in its early stages - before you show any signs of sickness. Screening tests are important. Cancer is easier to treat and may be cured if it is found early. This part of the book describes screening tests for cancer, how they are done, who should have them and how often.* FOR WOMEN FOR MEN FOR WOMEN AND MEN The guidelines for how often to be tested are right for most people, BUT if you have an extra risk factor - like a family history of cancer - you may need to begin screening at a younger age and be tested more often. Talk to your health care provider about what screening tests YOU should have and how often.
