Why screening?

You do not have to wait for symptoms.

Screening looks for cancer or early changes in people who do not have symptoms. It is different from a medical consultation for a new lump, unexplained bleeding, persistent cough or other warning signs.

Not everyone needs every screening test. Your age, family history, previous medical history, smoking history and other risk factors help determine what is appropriate.

At KCC, our aim is to help you choose the screening that makes sense for you rather than ordering unnecessary tests.

Before you book

Screening depends on more than age.

Age is an important starting point, but it is not the only factor. A family history of cancer, smoking, previous abnormal tests and other risk factors can change the recommended approach.

Your age

Different screening tests become useful at different ages. Some are repeated regularly, while others may only be needed at certain intervals.

Your risk

Smoking history, previous medical conditions and other risk factors can mean that screening should start earlier or follow a different schedule.

Your family history

Cancer in a close relative can sometimes change when screening should begin or whether additional assessment is appropriate.

Important: If you already have symptoms such as a new lump, unexplained bleeding, persistent cough, unexplained weight loss or a change in bowel habits, you may need a medical consultation rather than a routine screening appointment.

If your result is abnormal

An abnormal screening result does not necessarily mean cancer.

Screening is designed to identify changes that may need further assessment. Many abnormal screening results are not cancer.

01

Your result is reviewed

Your report is reviewed and the result is explained to you in language you can understand.

02

Further testing may be needed

Depending on the result, this may include repeat testing, imaging, endoscopy, biopsy or specialist assessment.

03

If cancer is diagnosed

KCC specialists can assess the diagnosis and discuss the appropriate treatment options with you and your family.

Finding a problem early gives you more time to act.

The purpose of screening is not to make you worry. It is to identify important changes while they can still be investigated and, when appropriate, treated.

Frequently asked questions

Cancer screening at KCC

A few common questions before you book.

Do I need to go to India for cancer screening?

Many commonly used cancer screening and diagnostic services are available in Nepal. KCC can help you understand which screening or consultation is appropriate for you.

Do I need a doctor referral for screening at KCC?

If you are unsure which screening test you need, you can contact KCC first and discuss your age, risk factors and family history with the team.

What if I already have a lump or other symptoms?

If you already have a concerning symptom, a medical consultation may be more appropriate than a routine screening appointment. The doctor can decide whether imaging, endoscopy, biopsy or another investigation is needed.

What is the difference between a Pap smear and an HPV test?

A Pap test looks for abnormal cervical cells, while an HPV test looks for high-risk types of human papillomavirus associated with cervical cancer. The appropriate test and interval depend on the screening approach being used.

How often should I have a mammogram?

The appropriate age to start mammography and how often to repeat it depend on your age, personal risk and the guideline or screening strategy being followed. See the KCC mammogram guide for more information.
