Cancer Screening Tests, Diagnostic Methods and Cancer Vaccines

Abstract

Cancer is one of the most common causes of death in the world, observed with the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in any part of the body. Early diagnosis with screening programs in individuals with no suspicion of cancer or with the precancerous is important in terms of increasing the quality of life of the patient and taking precautions against the risks that may occur in the future. Early diagnosis of cancer using various diagnostic methods increases the success of treatment. Immunotherapy methods that strengthen the immune system and initiate a new era in anticancer therapy are used in the treatment. This method involves changing a patient's immune cells using biotechnology. Cancer vaccines are one of the therapeutic methods that are frequently studied recently and can develop a clinical response that can completely cure the disease. The vaccine creates an antitumor immune response in individuals with cancer, prevents cancer-causing viruses and infections, and reduces the risk of cancer development in some high-risk individuals.
