Early Detection Matters
At Bassett Cancer Institute, we understand that cancer concerns can be overwhelming and spur many questions. The good news? Regular screenings help detect cancer in its earliest stages, greatly increasing care options. Using advanced screening technology, our team of cancer specialists can identify abnormalities and begin a customized treatment plan before cancer progresses.
With extensive COVID-19 safety measures in place, we are ready to provide safe screenings for you and your family. Through early detection, we can help turn your questions about cancer into answers.
Assessing Your Risk
We encourage you to schedule a screening or an appointment with your primary care practitioner if you or a loved one is:
- At high-risk of cancer due to family history.
- Due for routine screening based on your age or medical history.
- Experiencing symptoms that could be a red flag for cancer.
- Seeking a second opinion for a cancer diagnosis or treatment recommendations.
Schedule a Screening
