The cells that make up our body function in a well-regulated manner. This process is ensured by the genes that make up the DNA in each cell. Sometimes, errors in genes can make some cells grow haphazardly, jeopardizing the harmony of the different body systems. We call it “cancer”. Such errors can arise from family predisposition as well as environmental effects due to toxins. If such cells are detected at an early stage, the chances of successful treatment are higher. Therefore, it is important to screen for such cells periodically based on your risk factors.
We first look at your risk factors such as age, family predisposition, environmental hazards such as smoking, exposures to chemical/radiation and recommend tests to screen for cancers
These may include imaging and blood work
Sometimes, special tests may be required, for which you will be referred to a specialist.
