Cancer Screenings
Cancer screenings can help detect cancer before symptoms are present, which can increase treatment success rates and save lives. We offer a variety of cancer screenings, including:
- Mammograms
- Prostate
- Skin
- Colon
Skin Cancer
Skin cancer can be found early and both doctors and patients play important roles in finding skin cancer. Some early signs and symptoms of skin cancer include:
- A change in your skin, especially in the size or color of a mole, growth or spot
- A new growth (even if it has no color)
- Scaliness, oozing, bleeding or a change in the way a bump or nodule looks
- The spread of pigmentation (color) beyond its border past the edge of a mole or mark
- A change in sensation, such as itchiness, tenderness or pain
Mammograms
Early detection is your best defense against breast cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends women ages 40 and older have a mammogram and clinical breast exam every year.
Our Breast Care Suite offers the Soft Touch Mammogram, with a foam pad that serves as a cushion between you and the mammography system. So you can relax, knowing your mammogram will be soft, warm and comfortable.
