More tests do not always mean better care. Ask a clinician which screening tests fit your history and risk factors.
Choose the tests
- Request the exact test list and the reason for each proposed test.
- Ask about false alarms, missed findings and unnecessary treatment. Tell the clinician about any symptoms before choosing screening.
Prepare for the visit
- Get instructions for food, drink and medicines from the clinical team. Do not change medicines on your own.
- Confirm separate charges for sedation, biopsy, laboratory analysis and result explanation where relevant.
Plan the next step
- Ask when and in which language a clinician will explain your results.
- Confirm who arranges follow-up for an abnormal result. Request copies for your clinician at home.
