Early detection is one of the best weapons against cancer. One in three women and one in two men will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. Regular screenings can help identify many cancers in their earliest stages when they can be treated successfully and often cured.

Cancer Screening Services at Ellis Fischel Cancer Center offers a wide range of screening and early detection services targeted to men and women over the age of 40. Individuals with high risk for cancer may need screenings more often and at an earlier age.

Cancer Screening Services offers a variety of programs to meet the specific needs of each person. All screenings are offered conveniently at one location so you don't have to make several appointments. If you need only a partial examination to supplement screenings already done by your personal physician, cancer screening services can be customized to your specific needs. Results will be shared with you and your physician. In addition, the cancer screening team will help identify your risks for developing cancer and discuss lifestyle changes that may be beneficial. In most cases, insurance provides coverage for all services.
