Cancer Screening Tests in Thailand

Cancer screening tests aim to find cancer early, before it causes symptoms and when it may be easier to treat successfully. Effective screening tests are those that;

  • Find cancer early
  • Reduce the chance that someone who is screened regularly will die from cancer
  • Have more potential benefits than harms. 

Getting screening tests regularly may find breast, cervical, and colorectal (colon) cancers early, when treatment is likely to work best. Lung cancer screening test is recommended for some people who are at high risk.
