A member asked:
There are about 15 types of cancer. how many of them can a person be pre-screened for before there is any patient detected pain or visible problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
15?: There are way more than 15 types of cancer. You can potentially get cancer from every kind of cell or organ that's in your body. There are screening tests for some but not all, which I'm sure you are aware of. Mammography for breast cancer, colonoscopy for colon cancer, annual visual inspection for skin cancer, PAP smears, prostate exams, dental exams for oral cancers, are some that come to mind.
