Screening and Prevention

Many forms of cancer do not display symptoms at their onset, so screening tests are used to monitor for warning signs. At Karmanos, we offer cancer screenings, including:

Mammograms
Lung Cancer Screening
Pap and HPV Tests
Colonoscopy/Cologuard
Genetic Counseling

A referral is not needed for a screening at Karmanos.

Your best chance deserves a second look - and the right team, schedule an appointment with us today.
