So there is this idea in medicine called "screening", which translates to looking for serious diseases with available treatment methods before they get too difficult to manage. I'll name a few diseases and their best screening methods: - Colon Cancer: Colonoscopy every 5-10 years, starting at age 50. - Cervical cancer: Pap smear every 3 years, starting at age 21 -Breast cancer: Mammography every year , starting at age 40-45 till 70 -Type 2 diabetes: Some blood tests(usually FBS and HbA1c) every 3 years, starting at 45(if you have no family background) -Dyslipidemia (basically means high levels of fatty substance in your blood): Blood tests (total cholesterol, triglycerides) starting at 55 years of age and then repeating it every 5 years Any diseases you would recommend for screening? Cast it below:

Primary liver cancer (happening spontaneously in liver) is not that common really, and is usually due to chronic viral infections(usually HBV). So there is no real screening methods for them as far as I know. What is more prevalent is metastatic live cancer which usually starts in colon.
