Getting screened
Regular cancer screenings are a vital tool for early detection and treatment. While these recommendations focus on average-risk individuals, it's important to remember that personal risk factors can vary and it’s best to discuss your specific needs with your health care provider.
Breast cancer screening
Annual screening mammograms are recommended for women ages 40 and older. Your provider may recommend a different screening schedule if you’re at higher risk for breast cancer.
Colorectal cancer screening
The risk of colorectal cancer increases with age and family medical history of the disease. That’s why we recommend screening for everyone ages 45 and over, based on guidelines from the United States Preventive Services Task Force.
Gynecologic cancer screening
Of gynecological cancers, only cervical cancer has a screening test, known as the Pap test, which improves your chances for prevention or successful treatment by detecting cell changes early. Based on guidelines from the United States Preventive Services Task Force, we recommend Pap tests for all women between ages 21 and 65.
Lung cancer screening
A low-dose CT screening for lung cancer may be recommended for men and women, ages 50 to 77, who are current or former smokers with a smoking history of 20 pack-years. A referral from a provider is needed for a low-dose lung CT screening.
Prostate cancer screening
Prostate cancer screenings are recommended for men ages 55 years and older, and those at high risk, particularly African-American men. Talk to your provider about the risks and benefits.
Skin cancer screening
We offer skin cancer screenings in our hospitals and clinics, and free screenings for underserved people in the communities we serve. Ask your provider for more information about skin cancer screenings.
Other screenings
Talk with your primary care provider about any other cancer-related screenings you may need.
