Certain cancers can be detected early by SCREENING - these include breast cancer by mammography, cervical cancer by Pap smears & colorectal cancers by Feacal Occult Blood testing. Other cancers can be prevented by a healthy lifestyle - healthy diet , exercise, avoiding tobacco consumption & alcohol.
