Breast Cancer
A mammogram can help find a lump in your breast up to two years before you or your doctor notice it. That’s why a routine mammogram is recommended every one-to-two years for women age 50-74.
Learn more about early detection and diagnosis.
Cervical Cancer
When cancer forms in the cervix, it is often slow-growing and does not show symptoms. However, with routine screenings, it can be found early, when it is most treatable. A Pap test is the type of screening used to find cervical cancer and is recommended for women starting at age 21. Talk to your doctor to see if you are due for a Pap test.
Cervical cancer is almost always caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), so vaccination is recommended for everyone up to age 26. Catch-up vaccination to age 45 is available for people at risk.

Men’s Health
The first step that men should take in maintaining their health is scheduling an annual check-up with their primary care physician (PCP). By visiting the doctor when healthy and symptom free, men can work with their doctor to maintain their health or identify any problems early, when they are easier to treat.
Men should discuss the following with their doctor:
- – Lifestyle (diet, exercise, tobacco use, stress)
- – Family history
- – Colorectal cancer screening for men age 50+
- – If prostate cancer screening is needed
- – Mental health or substance use disorder concerns
