Why Diagnosing Cancer in its Early Stage is Important?

Diagnosing cancer in its early stage ensures the best cancer cure for the patients. Any persisting symptoms need to be investigated with diagnostic tests.

Screening tests are recommended for patients who have no symptoms but are at a high risk of suffering from cancer due to age, habits like tobacco & alcohol, family history, certain viral infection or certain occupations. Please keep in mind that prevention of cancer is better than cure and this can be accomplished through regular cancer diagnostics from an accredited physician/cancer doctor.

At Horizon Cancer Care, we provide an efficient pathway for the detection of cancer in its infancy with minimal screening tests and delays in treatment
