Cancer Detection

Breast Examinations

Mammograms

Programs that offer the screening procedure for the early detection of breast cancer which involves an X-ray picture of the breast area which can be studied for abnormalities.

Oral Cancer Screening

Programs that offer examinations of the neck, face, lips and mouth with the objective of detecting cancers which, if caught in an early stage, may be treated with a higher probability of success. Screening for oral cancer may be done during a physical examination by a dentist or doctor and may include referrals, if necessary, for further testing or treatment.

Pap Tests

Programs that conduct microscopic studies of tissue samples from the cervix or vagina as a means of early cancer detection in women.

Prostatic Specific Antigen Blood Tests

Programs that conduct laboratory tests to determine whether an individual's blood contains the antigen that is correlated with prostate cancer as a means for early detection of that condition. The blood test is recommended for all men age 40 and older.

Skin Screening

Programs that conduct skin screenings to detect early signs of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma or other abnormalities; or which evaluate the amount of sun damage an individual has received, often using a "black light" which shows layers of damage in different colors. People with suspicious skin lesions are referred for biopsies to determine whether cancer is present and for subsequent treatment, if required.
