Abstract
Mammographic screening is effective in saving lives from breast cancer. Other cancers, which have strong evidence for a benefit of screening in terms of saving lives from cancer, are cervical and colorectal cancers. There is also evidence of a reduction in mortality associated with ultrasound screening for liver cancer in subjects at very high risk of the disease. There are a number of other cancers that are potential candidates for early detection. There is clearly an opportunity for saving lives from further development and implementation of cancer screening.
