One Response to “Cancer screening for women”

Does anyone know if there’s some kind of blood test you can get that will detect cancer in your system? You need to get a breast exam, cervical screening, etc. etc. etc. but is there ONE test out there that you can take that detects whether or not you have it somewhere? If not, is there some definitive list of tests a 40-45 year old woman should have? How about 50-60 years old?
