Cancer Screening & Prevention
Cancer Screening & Prevention
Screening tests can help find cancer early or before symptoms appear. Speaking with your provider offers the ideal opportunity to have your questions answered and help you understand what types of screenings are important for you and your family.
High Risk Breast Clinic
Breast cancer risk assessment, genetic testing evaluations, guidance and long-term planning.
Gynecologic Cancer Screening
Early intervention is key as, in many cases, symptoms do not appear until the cancer is advanced.
Colon & Rectal Cancer Screening
With regular screening, colorectal cancer is easily detectable and treatable.
Lung Cancer Screening
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the US, and around 80% of those deaths are attributed to smoking.
Prostate Cancer Screening
Understand prostate cancer and risk factors and talk to your doctor about PSA screenings.
Detecting Cancer Early for Better Outcomes
Finding cancer early is important for a positive outcome during treatment. Regular screening tests can find cancerous cells or tumors before they cause any signs, so they can be treated quickly. Your care team at the William N. Pennington Cancer Institute helps you choose the best screenings based on your medical history, age, and risk factors. They also give you advice and answer any questions you may have.
Tests like mammograms, Pap smears, colonoscopies, and PSA tests are used in cancer checks to look for different types of cancer. Screenings and preventative measures, like the HPV vaccine, can greatly lower the chance of getting some cancers. Getting vaccinated early is very important for long-term protection.
