medical screening
Preventive diagnostic testing
Medical screening is testing people for diseases or conditions before symptoms appear.
Unlike diagnostic tests given when something seems wrong, screening applies to apparently healthy populations: routine cancer screenings, newborn screening for genetic disorders.
The goal is early detection, when treatment is most effective.
Screening programs balance benefits against false positives and overdiagnosis.
