What Screenings Do I Need?

Screenings look for signs of cancer before you experience symptoms. Talk to your primary care provider about which screenings are right for you based on your age, sex, health and family history, and other risk factors. Your doctor may recommend:

Cervical cancer screening (Pap test)
Colonoscopy and fecal occult blood tests
Computed tomography scan (CT) to screen for lung cancer
Mammogram or other breast imaging test
Prostate cancer screening (PSA test)
Skin cancer screening
