What oncology tests are available for cancer screening?
Cancer screening involves various tests designed to detect cancer early, often before symptoms appear, improving the chances of successful treatment. Some common oncology tests for cancer screening include:

Mammography: Used to screen for breast cancer, it involves taking X-ray images of the breast to detect tumors or abnormalities.

Pap Smear and HPV Testing: These tests screen for cervical cancer. A Pap smear detects abnormal cells in the cervix, while HPV testing checks for the presence of the human papillomavirus, a risk factor for cervical cancer.

Colonoscopy: This procedure screens for colorectal cancer by allowing a doctor to examine the inside of the colon and rectum using a camera.

Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT): Used for lung cancer screening, especially in high-risk individuals, such as long-term smokers.

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test: This blood test measures the level of PSA, a protein produced by the prostate, which can be elevated in prostate cancer.

CA-125 Blood Test: Often used to screen for ovarian cancer, this test measures the level of cancer antigen 125 in the blood.

Skin Examination: Regular checks of the skin for new moles or changes in existing moles can help detect skin cancer early.
