Cancer Screenings

Give yourself a fighting chance against cancer. Get your recommended screenings, which look for signs of the disease before symptoms develop. These tests can detect cancer in its first stages, when treatment works best. If your results don’t show anything unusual, screenings offer you valuable peace of mind.

Types of Cancer Screenings

At St. Bernards Healthcare, you have access to:

• Breast cancer screenings – 3D mammograms with same-day results
• Cervical cancer screenings – Pap smear and a test for human papillomavirus (HPV)
• Colon cancer screenings – Colonoscopy and sometimes other tests that look for polyps (lumps) in the intestines
• Lung cancer screening – Computed tomography (CT) scan that uses a low dose of radiation and takes just a few minutes
• Prostate cancer screening – Blood test that checks your prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level
• Skin cancer screenings – Variety of options, including a visual check for moles and other spots of a certain size, shape, color or texture

What Screenings Do I Need?

Ask your primary care provider about the right screening tests and frequency for you, based on your:

• Personal and family health history
• Age
• Sex
• Lifestyle

Your risk factors may change over time. Testing guidelines sometimes evolve, too, based on the latest research. Your primary care provider will help you stay up to date.
