Our Cancer Screening Services

Regular screenings can detect cancer, even before there are apparent symptoms. Recommended health screenings vary based on age, gender, genetics and other risk factors.

Your AdventHealth Primary Care+ team will help you meet recommended screenings and ensure the right tests are administered when you need them.

Our primary care clinics offer several recommended screenings for various types of cancers.

  • Screening Mammograms

    Mammograms are one of our best tools in the fight against breast cancer. Your primary care provider may refer you for a mammogram during your annual well-woman visit. Mammograms are typically recommended for women ages 40 and up, and they play a key role in detecting signs of breast cancer at an early stage when treatment is most effective.

  • Colonoscopy

    Your provider may refer you to a specialist for a colonoscopy, which screens for colorectal cancers. A colonoscopy is typically recommended for both men and women starting at age 45 or younger if at higher risk. Regular colorectal cancer screenings offer the best opportunity for early intervention and successful treatment.

  • Cervical Cancer Screenings

    Cervical cancer screenings, or pap smears, are provided during well-woman visits. These screenings help detect abnormal cells in the cervix that can become cancerous if left untreated. Routine cervical cancer screenings are crucial for early detection, offering the best chance for effective treatment and maintaining your long-term health.

  • Lung Cancer Screenings

    If you have a history of lung cancer or smoking, routine lung screenings can offer peace of mind by detecting early signs of lung cancer, providing the best opportunity for early intervention and successful treatment.

  • Prostate Cancer Screenings

    Your provider may recommend a prostate cancer screening to men starting at age 50 or earlier for those at higher risk. It’s a blood test that checks for elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Prostate screenings can identify potential issues before symptoms appear, giving you the best chance for early detection and effective care.

  • Skin Cancer Screenings

    Skin cancer screenings are designed to help catch any unusual changes in your skin, such as dark or irregularly shaped moles or other risk factors. Your provider may perform an initial check for any concerns and refer you to a dermatologist for further evaluation, including biopsies or a full-body exam.
