Abstract

Background: The global challenge of cancer underscores the need for effective early detection strategies, crucial for improving patient
outcomes. Radiology stands at the forefront of this endeavor, playing a pivotal role in identifying cancer at its early stages. The significance lies in the ability of various radiological modalities, including X-rays, CT scans, MRI, PET scans, and ultrasound, to provide valuable insights into the presence, location, and characteristics of tumors. Early detection through radiology facilitates timely intervention, a key factor in enhancing treatment outcomes
