Cancer screening consists of medical tests that are designed to find cancer in its early stages including in people who show no signs of illness or disease. Detecting cancer in its early stages will give you the best chance of successfully treating the disease. These tests can offer a peace of mind for those worried about cancer.

Based on your age, gender, genetics and other risk factors there are screening recommendations for breast, cervical, colorectal, prostate, lung, and head and neck cancers. Below, you will find these detailed recommendations as well as what you need to know about current risk factors. Recommendations are based on those made by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and/or the American Cancer Society as most insurers refer to these recommendations when choosing to cover screening costs. Extra recommendations made by Orlando Health Cancer Institute physicians also are included to ensure you receive all the information needed to make an informed decision on your individual screening needs.
