Screening can be a powerful weapon against cancer, helping catch some tumors months, or even years, before a person would feel sick enough to see a doctor.<\/p>\n

There are many different types of cancer, but the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a group of independent medical experts, only recommends regular screening for four types: lung, breast, colorectal and cervical.
