Cancer Risk Assessment
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. The most common types of cancer are breast, lung, colon, rectum and prostate cancers. At times, cancer is diagnosed at a very late stage and treatment is not effective. If detected early, cancer can be cured and the affected can lead a healthy and prolonged life. Treatment cost also decreases with early diagnosis

How is Cancer Risk Assessment carried out?
Counselling is a major factor in risk assessment. A doctor will evaluate your lifestyle,
consumption, family history, medical history of self and family.
Family history is one of the important aspects of cancer risk assessment. The age at
which cancer was detected in family members is also important.
The doctor will pinpoint the risk factors and types of cancer that it can lead to. If
required physical examination will be carried out. A doctor will look for birth defects,
atypical skin bumps, or other non-malignant conditions.
Pathological tests will follow to confirm abnormalities and possible factors that can
increase the risk of cancer.
If you feel you are at the risk of developing cancer, Career Cancer Research Centre will
