Cancer Screenings
The Coletta Cancer Center in Oklahoma City offers a variety of recommended cancer screenings to help detect cancer at early stages. Cancer screening greatly improves the odds of early detection, which can lead to less invasive and more successful treatment since cancer has not yet had a chance to spread.
Breast Cancer Screening
The American Cancer Society recommends annual mammograms for women beginning at age 45. We offer screening and diagnostic mammograms (including 3D Mammography) with expert follow-up care. Women with increased breast density should consider supplemental screening with an ultrasound or MRI. Visit our Coletta Breast Center to schedule yours today.
Lung Cancer Screening
Lung cancer symptoms may not show up until an advanced stage. Screening with a low-dose CT (LDCT) scan can detect lung cancer earlier than ever, which can improve the chances of survival. It’s recommended for people age 55-77 with risk factors for lung cancer.
Colon Cancer Screening
The American Cancer Society recommends annual colorectal cancer screening beginning at the age of 45. Mercy primary care doctors and Mercy colon specialists can help determine which screening test is best for you. Colorectal cancer can be hereditary and genetic testing is available.
Skin Cancer Screening
Regular skin self-exams are the best way to spot changes to moles, freckles and other skin marks between regular medical exams with your primary care doctor.
