Cancer screening: There are well defined Screening tests for Cancer. Your PCP/Family doctor will be familair with them. The tests are done according to Age and or if you experience poor appetite, fever or weight loss. Persistent pain can be a symptoms although most cancers are painless to begin with, but can be detected by physical examination or imaging studies using X-rays/CT scans or Ultrasound.
