Knowing these factors can help you take early steps toward prevention, early diagnosis, or timely treatment like surgical oncology.

🔬 Common Cancer Risk Factors:

🩺 High-Risk Individuals May Require:

• ✅ Regular screenings (e.g., mammogram, colonoscopy, Pap test)
• ✅ Genetic testing and counseling
