Prevention
The following cancer screening guidelines are recommended for those people at average risk for cancer (unless otherwise specified) without any specific symptoms. People at increased risk for certain cancers may need to follow a different screening schedule, such as starting at an earlier age or being screened more often. Those with symptoms that could be related to cancer should see their doctor right away.
Detection
Cancer-related checkups for people aged 20 or older having periodic health exams, a cancer-related checkup should include health counseling, and depending on a person's age and gender, might consist of exams for cancers of the thyroid, oral cavity, skin, lymph nodes, testes, ovaries, as well as for some non-malignant (non-cancerous) diseases.

Treatment
Treatment options and effectiveness have dramatically increased over the last five to ten years due to better technology and a greater understanding of cancer. That being said, treatment options can be overwhelming at times. We have provided you with an outline of different treatment options for different types of cancer. With your doctor's input, it is always best to decide what treatment option(s) would be best for you.
