Specializes in Preventive Medicine

Pain=Evid. NotCancer: because cancer infrequently produces pain, if at all, until quite late; also the reason that most internal cancers are not detected until very advanced, no pain to induce individual to seek help for symptoms. Thus keep up with preventive monitoring, self-educate & seek professional help worthy of your trust who will help you better understand the issues & options to minimize incidence of cancer.
