cancer surveillance

Cancer surveillance involves regularly monitoring individuals who are at higher risk or have had cancer, to detect any signs of recurrence or new cancers early. This typically includes scheduled medical check-ups, imaging tests, and lab work tailored to the specific type of cancer. The goal is to catch any issues promptly, improving treatment outcomes and survival rates. Surveillance strategies are personalized based on factors like the initial cancer type, stage, and patient health, ensuring ongoing care and timely intervention.
