Early detection is essential for preventing the progression of cancer. Colonoscopies, mammograms, pap smears, and skin cancer screenings can help to identify potential issues before they advance to more serious health conditions. Lung cancer screening is also available for smokers in certain high-risk categories. Talk with your healthcare provider to learn more about which screenings may be right for you based on your age and health risks. For a full list of health screening recommendations, visit the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
