The American Urological Association (AUA) recommends prostate cancer screening for men between the ages of 55 and 69 who have no symptoms. Some men who are at higher risk, including smokers, African American men and those with a close family history, may consider starting earlier, between the ages of 40 and 45. Talk with your doctor to find out what feels right for you. 

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, and it’s also one of the most preventable. Paying attention to changes in your skin and getting checked when something looks different can make a real difference. If you have specific questions about your health history, please contact your healthcare provider.

Screening recommendations vary based on your age, personal health and family history. Your doctor can help you understand which screenings are right for you and when to begin.

Many preventive screenings are covered by insurance, especially when recommended based on age and risk, but it’s always a good idea to confirm coverage with your provider before scheduling your screening appointment.

If a screening indicates the need for further evaluation, your care team will guide you through the next steps and coordinate any additional testing.

Some screenings may require a referral, while others can be scheduled directly. Our team can help you understand what’s needed.

Screening frequency depends on the type of test and your individual risk factors. Your doctor will recommend a schedule that’s right for you.
