Early detection and screening for cancer

Getting screened regularly for cancer can save your life

Your age, health, and lifestyle choices (e.g., what you eat, how active you are, if you're a smoker), and family history can impact your need for cancer screenings.

When should I get screened for cancer?

Are there resources to help me get screened for cancer?
