Cancer Screening & Early Detection in Udaipur
Evidence-based screening consultations to identify precancerous changes and early-stage tumors when most curable. Managed under the clinical leadership of Dr. Narendra Rathore (Professor & Head of Radiation Oncology) at MB Hospital Campus, RNT Medical College, Udaipur.
Medical Overview & Clinical Background
Early detection saves lives. Detecting cancer at Stage I or II drastically increases cure rates while allowing less invasive treatments. Dr. Narendra Rathore provides expert screening consultations and risk assessments for individuals with high-risk family histories, suspicious symptoms, or lifestyle risk factors.
Understanding the Disease & Treatment Mechanics
Cancer screening utilizes proven diagnostic tests—such as low-dose mammography for breast cancer, Pap smear/HPV DNA testing for cervical cancer, clinical oral cavity examinations for tobacco users, and low-dose CT (LDCT) for high-risk smokers—to detect disease before symptoms develop.
Treatment Approach & Clinical Protocols
During a screening consultation, Dr. Rathore reviews medical history, family cancer history, lifestyle factors, and performs targeted physical examinations. Appropriate diagnostic tests are ordered and interpreted with clear patient guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: At what age should women start annual mammogram screening?
Women with average risk should begin annual screening mammograms at age 40 to 45. Those with family history should start earlier as advised by their doctor.

Women aged 21 to 65 should receive a Pap smear every 3 years, or a combined Pap smear and HPV DNA test every 5 years.
