Cancer Prevention Screening

Abstract

AbstractCancer screening for certain organs leads to detection of precancer. Detection of precancer is a form of cancer prevention if one uses the word cancer to exclusively mean invasive cancer, which is customary but not universal. The phrase cancer prevention screening is used to refer to cancer screening practices that aim to detect precancer, and the phrase early detection cancer screening to refer to cancer screening practices that aim to detect invasive cancer.
