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.

Prevention & screenings

  • Colon cancer screening
    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 screening
    If you are a man age 50 and older (age 40 for African American men and men with a family history of prostate cancer) it’s time to schedule your prostate exam.
  • Lung cancer screening
    If you were (or still are) a smoker with a 20 year pack history of smoking, you may qualify for a Low Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening.

    We make getting your annual mammogram easy. To schedule your yearly mammogram, call (843) 402-5000 and we will find the time and location most convenient for you.
