What is Cancer Screening?

Cancer screening is a proactive approach to health that involves testing healthy or at-risk individuals for signs of a hidden cancer. The main goal is to reduce cancer mortality by diagnosing the disease early, allowing for timely intervention and a greater chance of treatment success.

Who Should Get Screened?

While screening is important for everyone, it is especially critical for individuals who are:

Over 40 years of age.
Family History
Exposed to tobacco, alcohol, or environmental pollutants.
Living with chronic infections (e.g., HPV).
At a higher risk due to genetic mutations (e.g., BRCA1/2, Lynch syndrome).

Dr. Sandip Ganguly offers personalized, risk-based screening plans tailored to each person’s age, lifestyle, family history, and genetic risk factors.
