Screening and Early Detection
Screening and early detection are two ways to try and reduce the impact of cancer.
Early Detection
Early detection is when a cancer is diagnosed in its early stages before it has spread to other parts of the body.
Screening
Screening for cancer is where healthy people undergo a test to see if they posibly have a specific type of cancer.
