Self Screening for Cancer: Promises and Pitfalls

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, and early detection can significantly improve prognosis. However, many individuals are not screened or are inadequately screened for cancer. Self-screening for cancer has the potential to lead to earlier detection, which in turn enables earlier treatment and better survival rates. It has also been touted as a way to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes, as self-screening kits could be made available to individuals without access to high-quality in-office screening.
