Preventive Cancer Screenings Are Becoming Too Lax September 15, 2021

The first experiences we typically have with medicine and medical treatment when we’re young are usually reactive. You get a cut on your finger, and Mom washes it off and applies a Band-Aid. You catch a bad cold, and Dad gives you a spoonful of nasty-tasting cough syrup. But the worst diseases, especially cancer, are rarely obvious when they first begin attacking our bodies. If you don’t have the condition diagnosed before the symptoms have become severe, you may already be past your best treatment window. This is why preventive screenings, which help to catch diseases early, are so critical to good health outcomes.
