Cancer Screening in Women
Keywords:
Cancer Screening in WomenAbstract
Cancer is the leading cause of death in Thai. Cancer screening is the major strategy for cancer prevention and early detection, leading to a decrease in cancer - related mortality rate. The effective cancer screening program in women are cervical cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and lung cancer. Tests that have been investigated as potential screening methods for ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer are unsatisfactory. The best cost-utility of cancer screening program in Thailand should be further investigated.
