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

Diagnosing Cancer

If you have signs or symptoms that suggest cancer, your doctor will order diagnostic tests to find the cause. Access a full range of services that help your doctor make an accurate diagnosis, including:

Biopsy

A biopsy is when a small piece of body tissue is examined under a microscope.

Imaging tests

Imaging tests provide pictures of the inside of your body to reveal tumors.

Lab tests

Lab tests check your blood or other body fluids for substances that indicate cancer.
