Special Issue on Cancer Screening

Cancer screening is important method for early detection of cancer and precancerous lesions. The common cancer screening methods include blood tests, B-mode ultrasound, X-ray images, Pap smear and mammography. The aim of cancer screening is to provide useful health information that can guide medical treatment. Screening tests should be effective, safe, well tolerated, with low acceptability of false positive and false negative results. In general, cancer screening is risky and should not be done except for medical instructions.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring cancer screening. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Breast cancer screening
