NP Screen specializes in the screening for nasopharyngeal cancer. An early detection helps to improve the survival rate of these individuals who are diagnosed with NPC. The NP screen is a proprietary genetic test used to try and help prevent cancer with regular screenings. It is suggested that an NP screen should be done at least once a year.Types of cancer treatments
Cancer does not spare anyone and crosses all barriers of age, gender, caste and creed. If cancer is detected in the early stages the doctors use radiation therapy to kill the cells. This method has proved very successful and chances of reoccurrence are minimal. Surgery is an option when the growth of cancer is outward like a tumour and it can be removed without affecting the other parts of the body. In the later stages the radiation therapy is combined with chemotherapy. This procedure can help retard the growth of the cancer cells and prolong life for a few months or years. There are no guaranteed cancer treatments that can totally cure you.
Cancer detection centre
The government of Canada has set up a number of cancer detection centres around the country. The main aim and purpose of these detection centres being the early detection of cancer. Eliminating cancer cells in the initial stages has a higher chance of totally removing it from the body. As it spreads it becomes more difficult and reduces the chances of survival as well.
Cancer screening tests cost covered by insurance
The Canadian government has ensured that cancer screening tests are covered under various government programs and people who have health insurance also get covered under their health insurance programs. Many of these tests are quite expensive and the government does not want that to be deterrence for people getting sick and costing the government more in the way of medical services.
