Colorectal Cancer Screening
Start screening for colorectal cancer at age 45
Regular screenings can detect pre-cancerous polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer. Screening can also help find cancer early, when it’s easier to treat. Learn more about Colorectal Cancer Screenings.
Screening Options:
Colonoscopy
- A long, flexible tube with a tiny camera is used to examine the rectum and colon.
- Good for up to 10 years unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT)
- A non-invasive test that detects hidden blood in the stool, which may be a sign of cancer or polyps.
- Should be done annually, as not all cancers or polyps bleed consistently.
FIT-DNA (Cologuard®)
- A non-invasive test that detects abnormal DNA and hidden blood in the stool, helping to identify early signs of colorectal cancer or pre-cancerous growths.
- Typically recommended every 3 years for those at average risk.

Cervical Cancer Screening
Get screened for cervical cancer every 3 years between the ages of 21-65
93% of cervical cancer cases could be prevented through regular screening and the HPV vaccine. Regular screenings can detect abnormal changes early, before cancer develops, while the HPV vaccine can prevent cancers caused by HPV infection.
