Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The screening test being described is genomics, which involves analyzing an individual's genetic makeup to determine their risk for certain types of cancer based on the presence of specific genes. The other options listed (Pap smear, colonoscopy, proteomics) are screening tests for specific types of cancer or methods of identifying abnormal cells, but they do not involve genetic analysis for cancer risk. "Astronomics" is not a valid answer as it is not a real medical term or screening test.
