With the odds of about 1 in 2 people getting cancer at some point in their lives, why isn’t it protocol for everybody to get screened for cancer of all types more often? Like maybe every few years starting at the age of twenty? It seems most times it get caught is when somebody is complaining of a symptom, often times too late.

We are getting very close to the point where we can do this both inexpensively and easily. I’d say within the next 10 years a monthly blood test for cancer will be widespread and affordable.
