Cancer screening myths and facts

[dmitry_volkov]

I hear conflicting things about screening. 🧐 What screening myths should be cleared up?

Where to go

Myth	Fact
‘I feel fine, no need’	Screening targets early, silent stages
‘Screening causes cancer’	Modern methods are low-risk
‘One test covers all’	Different cancers, different tests
‘Too old/young’	Age-based guidelines exist

• Trust established guidelines
• Ask your clinician
• Review reputable sources

What screening myth confused you the most? 🤔
