Screening and Prevention Program
In the fight against cancer, early detection is an important weapon, since cancer is most treatable in its early stages. Many forms of cancer do not display symptoms at their onset, so screening tests are used to monitor for warning signs. Cancer Screenings are available at Karmanos Cancer Institute locations in Bad Axe, Bay City, Clarkston, Detroit, Farmington Hills, Flint, Gaylord, Lansing, Lapeer, Maumee, Mount Clemens, Mount Pleasant, Petoskey, Pontiac and Port Huron.
Patients who participate in the Screening and Prevention Program at Karmanos will receive unmatched attention from a specialized team of experts. We use the latest technology and guidelines to make sure that our patients receive accurate and timely results. Our care team will make sure that you feel comfortable throughout the screening process and are able to understand your test results.
