In this article, Dr. Shubham Jain, Sr. Consultant & Unit Head-Surgical Oncology at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute & Research Centre (RGCIRC), Niti Bagh South Delhi, highlights that routine blood tests are insufficient for early cancer detection. Organ-specific screenings like mammograms, Pap smears, and low-dose CT scans, based on age and risk factors, are essential. Family history, lifestyle habits such as smoking, and consultations with doctors help assess cancer risk accurately. Regular screenings for breast, cervical, lung, and oral cancers significantly improve early detection and outcomes. Personalized cancer screening plans should be part of annual health check-ups to prevent late-stage diagnoses and ensure timely intervention.
