CHECK-UP:

Check-up is a health screening that aims to detect possible diseases in the early stages and take precautions, taking into account the age, hereditary structure, and environmental factors of a person who has no health problems. Having a check-up screening is very important for the early diagnosis of diseases that become difficult to treat in advanced stages. Check-up plays an important role in the early diagnosis of risky diseases such as coronary heart diseases and cancer (breast cancer, uterine and cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, and pancreatic cancer).

The importance of Check-Up in the early diagnosis of diseases:

• If the disease can be caught at a stage where it has not yet manifested with regular health screenings, measures can be taken before many diseases reach advanced stages.
• Our lifestyle has changed a lot in recent times Toxins, ionizing radiation, and refined foods are risk factors for many diseases, especially cancer. With check-ups, measures can be taken before the disease occurs, against increasing disease risks.
• Cardiovascular diseases can be caught and eradicated or treated at an early stage.
• Check-up programs can be created according to risk factors such as genetics, gender, age, race, and early symptoms that these risks may cause can be evaluated.
• Self-examination training can be given during check-ups.
• Oral cancers can be prevented with a dental examination.

• Colorectal cancers, lung cancers, prostate cancer in men, and breast and cervical cancers in women (by PAP smear and HPV test).
• Many problems trigger cancer and disrupt metabolism on the way to cancer. Detection of such problems is as important as the detection of cancer (For example, obesity and cancer relationship).
• Regular health screenings can be performed for early diagnosis of lung and intestinal cancers, which are the most common and deadly, breast, uterine, and thyroid cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.
• The frequency and priority for regular screenings for women are the following cancers: 1. Breast 2. Uterine 3. Thyroid cancers
• The frequency and priorities for regular screening for cancers in men: 1.Prostate 2. Colorectal 3. Stomach 4. Kaposi 5. Oral (lips, oral cavity) 6. Bladder 7. Lung Cancer 8. Liver, 9. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
