    Screening aims to find cancer before symptoms appear, when treatment is often more effective. Which tests apply depends on age, sex and risk factors.

    Key points to know

    • Follow recommended screening intervals for your age group.
    • Report persistent unexplained symptoms promptly.
    • Know your family history and share it with your clinician.
    • Screening is for well people; symptoms need separate assessment.
