Yes, we suggested yesterday that the best way to achieve a maximum result with the treatment of cancer is when it is treated early, and this comes by detecting the symptoms early enough and carrying out treatments immediately, without any delay. This, no doubt is the best way to handle this ugly situation in our lives and the lives of our loved ones, but the unfortunate thing here is that some cancers develop “silently”, and by the time the least symptom appears, the cancer itself has really gone far, and the prospects of getting adequate result from treatments will be very minimal. So the question now is, in matters like this, what are we expected to do, in order to adequately stamp our authority in handling this disease?

 

Societies like the American cancer society and the National cancer net work, are suggesting a routine cancer check for individuals, at least once in a year, to check pre-symphonic cancer and tissue changes which are leading in the direction of cancer. In order to get the best results, a thorough examination is necessary. This includes taking details of one’s personal history in order to discover facts of heredity or about the environments that are susceptible to cancer. On many occasions, clues have been obtained in the course of this examination that has led to the detailed examinations of some particular organs or tissue.

        

 

When history is being used to test or examine an individual about cancer, the entire body system will come under scrutiny to find out if there are changes that is susceptible to cancer. These include testing the breast, lungs, abdomen, colon, genitals, etc. The urine, blood and stool will equally come under x-ray examination, before arriving at a conclusive end.

 

When this type of test is carried out thoroughly, if there is any trace of cancer, it will be detected at the earliest stage, and if treatment is carried out at this stage, there will be a reasonable hope of cure, even if the case is that of lung cancer, which is a stubborn type of cancer that is difficult to deal with. If people will heed to this advice, it is believed that about 40 percent of cancer deaths will be averted.

 

Immediately cancer is detected at the earliest stage, treatment should be arranged for, and carried out immediately without any further delay. The prospect of delaying the treatment to really know what is going to become of it, has always been unfavorable.  For the malignant types of cancer, the prospect of cure decline day by day as treatment is delayed.  So this tempting attitude of “want and see” what will become of this problem, before carrying out treatment, should be discourage.  Once it has been established that there is cancer, treatment should be carried out immediately.

 

Statistics show that some cancers like the lung cancer, has mortality rate of 92% even after treatment but when it is treated at the  earliest stages, the result can be amazing. So the best bet for an early detection of cancer is by going for a routine medical check-up, even when you feel that you are not in any danger of having cancer. Remember that this disease can come unannounced, and hide in the body without any sign
