Your Questions Answered: How Often Should You Get Screened for Cancer?

At Bali International Hospital, we are excited to bring a new level of preventive health services to our community as we prepare for our opening. A key part of our mission is empowering individuals to take control of their health through regular cancer screenings.


If you have not had a cancer screening yet, now is the perfect time to learn how often you should be screened and why early detection is essential.


Why Are Cancer Screenings Important?


Cancer screenings detect early stages of disease before symptoms appear. Early detection offers the best chance for successful treatment and improved outcomes. Research published in The Lancet Oncology highlights that routine screenings for cancers like breast, cervical, and colorectal can reduce mortality rates by up to 30%.


As we gear up for our hospital opening, Bali International Hospital is committed to providing up-to-date cancer screening services, tailored to your individual health needs and risk factors.
