BENEFITS OF HEALTH SCREENING

• Early detection of diseases may result in better treatment and management, which reduces the risk of complications whilst increasing the chances of better health outcomes.
• Health screening helps to identify if the patient is at risk of, or has a disease or condition, that was not previously known about.
• Health screening can help people who have a family history with the process of prevention and provide them with timely treatments.
• Early detection of cancers is fundamental to timely surgery, better prognosis and higher changes of cure.

SAFETY AND RISKS

• There are currently only three screening programs which are government funded in Australia - Cervical Cancer (PAP smears), Breast Cancer (Mammography) and Bowel Cancer (FOBT). All screening programs, including these government programs, have a false positive and false negative rate and may lead to further investigations. At HealthScreen we provide a much more comprehensive health screening assessment.
• However, as with all screening studies, MRI and other investigations can miss some disease processes, especially when they are small (false negative). Depending on the clinical concern there may be a need to perform targeted follow-up imaging for further clarification and evaluation.
• Screening tests may cause some people to feel anxious or worried particularly if they are asked to have a follow up test.
• Screening at HealthScreen is designed to supplement and complement the ongoing care provided to you by your General Practitioner (GP), not to replace it.
• As with all screening tests, ‘harms’ can include false positive test results, when a doctor sees something that looks like cancer or disease but this is not clear. This can lead to more tests to clarify the situation, which can be expensive, invasive such as a biopsy, and may cause anxiety.
• Screening also can lead to over-diagnosis, when doctors find a cancer or disease that would not have gone on to cause symptoms or problems.

After discussion with our medical staff and considering the pros and cons of Health Screening it will then be your decision whether HealthScreen is appropriate for you.
