The above questions may seem very 'lame', but then I face them daily. There is a lot of misconception amongst the common man about early detection of cancer. Practically daily, one or the other person asks me "What tests should I get done, so that I can catch cancer early?" This question is so common, and tells me about the fact stuck in the mind of a common man, that he / she can get few tests done in the lab to find out if he / she has cancer. Well, it is not correct. And I wish to present the correct way of going about early detection of cancer. I will be writing it, over next few days.
