Why is medical screening important for the presence of cancer causing genes?
It is important to get DNA screening for certain types of cancer, because you can determine your risk of getting those cancers, and you can take preventative measure and/or get check-ups more often. Especially for situations such as breast, ovarian, cervical, and colon cancers, you can get genetic testing for those proto-oncogenes at any time for a fairly small fee, now that bioinformatics and genetic testing is more common.

Big right testicle?
If one of your testicles is larger than the other one you need to go see your doctor as soon as possible to get it checked out. One of the most common causes of asymmetry between the testicles is testicular cancer. This type of cancer is most common in young men (under 35), but any age can get it. It is easily treatable if it is caught early enough.
What are the most common cancer signs?

How is cancer screening carried out?
This depends on the type of cancer. Here are two common examples.Breast Cancer ScreeningThe most widely used breast cancer screening method is commonly called the mammogram. It uses low-energy X-rays, because of which it's been somewhat controversial in the recent years. The camp opposing mammograms claims that the incidence of breast cancer has increased since they have become common. The camp promoting mammograms claims that it was the detection rate, not incidence, that increased. The procedure itself is non-invasive but it can be a little uncomfortable. It involves pressing each breast between cold parts of the mammography machine several times so X-ray images of each breast can be created from several different angles.If no tumors are detected, mammography should be repeated every 12-24 months.Colon Cancer ScreeningThe most widely used colon cancer screening method is called colonoscopy. Most people who have already received one or more claim that the preparation for the procedure is the hardest part. It involves drinking a fairly unpleasant-tasting solution that causes the complete emptying of the bowels. Less unpleasant ways to achieve the same goal exist, but they may not be available everywhere yet. The procedure itself is invasive, as an endoscope is inserted into the patient's colon through the anus. However, prior to the procedure, the patients are sedated and most of them sleep through it, without experiencing any discomfort.If no polyps or cancer cells are found, colon screening should be repeated every five years.
What is the commoname for mesothelioma?

There are several sites giving information on mesothelioma but Wikipedia's entry for mesothelioma at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesothelioma is fairly comprehensive and easy to read.

How fast does colon cancer kill you?
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in men and women in the U.S. When it's caught in its early stages, it's easily treated and often cured. But because it is usually not discovered early, it is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. The exact cause is unknown, but most cases begin as polyps, which are small growths inside the colon or rectum. Colon polyps are very common, and most of them do not turn into cancer. Most polyps are easily found with fairly simple screening tests. Screening tests are tests that look for a certain disease or condition before any symptoms appear. In the case of colon cancer, screening tests can find evidence of polyps in the intestine. Sometimes the doctor can remove any polyps that are found at the same time. You are more likely to get colorectal cancer if you eat a high-fat diet, smoke, or have a history of this type of cancer in your family. However, most people who get colorectal cancer have none of these things in their background. Other, less common symptoms of early-stage colorectal cancer include fatigue and unexplained weight loss. If caught in time the chances of beating colon cancer is very high.
