There is a lot of research on the topic but it doesn’t agree with the OP’s thesis. Full body scans can be purchased if you have the funds, but you are far more likely to get false positives than to actually catch a cancer this way. The ensuing medical costs and possibly even unnecessary surgeries are statistically likely to cause you more detriment than any benefit you might receive. This is counterintuitive to many, but the truth is that it’s not actually easy to spot nascent pre-symptomatic cancers from full body scans without incurring a massive number of false positives along the way. Something like 1 in 8 people will end up getting flagged for “warning signs of potential cancer” during these scans that turns out to be nothing upon further investigation. Few people continue to get the tests for this reason.
