| ALT_DEFINITION |
Any action or process to identify a condition, or risk factors for a condition, in humans who are not yet known to have the condition or risk factor. (clinicaltrials.gov) Checking for disease when there are no symptoms. Since screening may find diseases at an early stage, there may be a better chance of curing the disease. Examples of cancer screening tests are the mammogram (breast), colonoscopy (colon), Pap smear (cervix), and PSA blood level and digital rectal exam (prostate). Screening can also include checking for a person's risk of developing an inherited disease by doing a genetic test. |
