Screening tests can detect cancer early and reduce the risk of the disease resulting in fatal conditions. Here are the most popular cancer screenings you must know about: Cervical Cancer Screening: Cervical screening is recommended for women between 25 to 64 years of age. The screening involves checking the health of cells in the cervix. Although most women's tests show normal results, around 1 in 20 women show abnormal changes in the cervix cells. The screening helps people prevent any further symptoms from occurring if done at the right time. *Breast Cancer Screening: *Breast cancer screening is a common test offered to women aged 50 to 70. Screening for breast cancer is done using an X-ray test called a mammogram. A mammogram spots cancer when it has just begun, and growth is too small to see/feel. Chances of recovery are high if the cancer is detected early. Bowel Cancer Screening:** Screening for bowel cancers is recommended at the age of 50 and continue screening every two years until 70.
