The earlier, the better.(EDITOR'S NOTE)(early detection of cancer reduces its risks)(Editorial)
Of all the things you can do to reduce your risk of cancer, early detection/screening remains your best safeguard against the disease that kills more than 1,500 people every day. "Because we cannot prevent cancer entirely, it is critical to detect it early," say Lise Alschuler, ND, and Karolyn A. Gazella, authors of Alternative Medicine Magazine's Definitive Guide to Cancer, Second Edition (a must-read if you have or have had cancer). "Treatment success and remission rates increase dramatically when the cancer is detected early--the earlier, the better."
The authors devote a section of their book to early detection and diagnosis, being careful to differentiate between screening and diagnostic tests. Screening, they explain, is designed for those who have no symptoms. Diagnostic testing, on the other hand, helps pinpoint the cause of specific symptoms. In addition to the American Cancer Society's recommendations for screening (see cancer.org for details), the authors include a list of signs often associated with cancer in the book. I share them here.
