About diagnosis, treatment and recovery
What is cancer screening and why should I have it before symptoms appear?
Cancer screening is done not to treat disease but to see whether one is present while there are still no symptoms; for many cancers, early detection widens treatment options.
Does early detection really make a difference in cancer?
For many cancers, catching disease at an early stage widens options and favorably influences the course of care.
How is it decided which screenings are right for me, and why do age and sex matter?
The scope is tailored to your age, sex, family history, and risk factors; which tests are needed is decided together at the initial assessment.
If I have a family history, does my screening plan change?
Yes; for those with a family history, the screening plan is personalized taking risk factors into account.
Are tests such as mammography, low-dose CT, and colonoscopy safe?
These are established screening tools using methods such as low-dose imaging and direct visualization to catch early findings.
Is the screening completed in a single day, and how long does it take?
Registration, sampling, imaging, and examinations are usually completed the same day in an organized flow, without waiting in line.
How should I prepare before screening (fasting, bowel preparation, medications)?
The required preparation depends on the planned tests and is communicated to you specifically at registration.
If results are normal, how often should I repeat screening?
The repeat interval is set according to your age, sex, and risk factors and is recommended to you along with your report.
If a finding emerges, how does the process proceed and when does the oncology team step in?
If a finding is detected, your file is transferred without interruption to the multidisciplinary oncology team at the same center.
I am coming from abroad; how do transfer, accommodation, and interpreter services work?
For international guests, the process is organized end to end with visa letters, airport transfer, accommodation, and medical interpreters.
