Cancer Prevention and Screenings

Nearly 2,000 newly diagnosed cancer patients come to Roper St. Francis Cancer Care each year. We believe we have a responsibility to aid in decreasing this number. That’s why a key part of our mission is prevention.

What types of cancer screenings and prevention are available?

  • Colon cancer
    If you’re 45 or older, you should get screened for colorectal cancer. There are several types of tests which can be used, and no matter which test you choose, the most important thing is to get tested. If you have specific questions related to your health history, please connect with your healthcare provider. Learn the basics about colorectal cancer screenings.
  • Prostate cancer
    The American Urological Association (AUA) recommends prostate cancer screening for men between the ages of 55 to 69 who have no symptoms. Some men who are at higher risk for prostate cancer (smokers, African American men, and men with a father, brother, or son who has had prostate cancer) may begin screening as early as age 40 to 45.
