To find cancer early, screenings must be conducted regularly. Because they can spread swiftly without showing any signs, some common cancers, like lung cancer and gastric cancer, are referred to as "silent killers".

​

The good news is that early detection can greatly enhance the effectiveness of treatment and raise the likelihood of recovery.

​

You should consult your doctor and get screened more frequently if you have a family history of cancer or other risk factors related to your lifestyle, such as smoking.

​

You may take into account the screening recommendations made by the Ministry of Health Singapore if you have an average risk of cancer (i.e., no symptoms or a family history of cancer).
