SCREENING SAVES LIVES Having regular screenings for cancer can save lives. Be sure to stay up-to-date on what screenings you need and when.

Talk to your primary care provider about what screenings are right for you.

Breast Cancer Screening Why get screened: Screening can help find cancer early, before you have symptoms. Improved treatments have reduced breast cancer death rates.

When to get screened: • Women ages 40 to 44 should have the choice to start annual breast cancer screening with mammograms.

• Women age 45 to 54 should get mammograms every year.

• Women 55 and older should switch to mammograms every 2 years, or can continue yearly screening.

Colon and Rectal Cancer and Polyps Why get screened: If caught early, colon cancer can be prevented by having colorectal polyps removed before they can turn into cancer.

When to get screened: • The American Cancer Society recommends starting regular screening at age 45.

• If you’re in good health, you should continue regular screening through age 75.

• For people ages 76 through 85, talk with your care provider.

• People over 85 should no longer get colorectal cancer screening.

Cervical Cancer Why get screened: Cervical cancer often has no symptoms, so screening can catch the cancer early and save your life.

When to get screened: • People with a cervix between the ages of 25 and 65 should get regular tests. Preferred test: HPV test every 5 years. Acceptable alternatives are: HPV/Pap cotest every 5 years or a Pap test every 3 years.

• Those over 65 who have had regular cervical cancer testing in the past 10 years with normal results should not be tested for cervical cancer.

• Those with a history of a serious cervical pre-cancer should be tested for at least 25 years after that diagnosis, even if testing goes past age 65.

Lung Cancer Why get screened: For those who are at high risk (see below), screening can help find cancer earlier so the treatments will work better.

When to get screened: • Are 50 to 80 years old and in fairly good health, and • Currently smoke or have quit in the past 15 years, and • Have at least a 20 pack-year* smoking history.

(This is the number of packs of cigarettes per day multiplied by the number of years smoked.

Example: 2 packs a day for 10 years = 20 pack-years.)

Prostate Cancer Why get screened: Prostate Cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death among men. Talk with your health provider to see if you would benefit from a screening.

When to get screened: • Starting at age 50, men should talk to a health care provider about the pros and cons of testing.

• If you are African American or have a father or brother who had prostate cancer before age 65, you should have this talk with a health care provider starting at age 45.

• A PSA blood test can be done with or without a rectal exam.

How often you’re tested will depend on your PSA level.

Screening guidelines from the American Cancer Society as of February 2022.

Cancer Incidence by Florida County Age-adjusted cancer incidence is lower in Florida’s metropolitan areas. However, Florida counties in the less populated center and Northeast corner of the state have higher levels of newly diagnosed cancers.

We also have the latest ablative technologies and microwave ablation for liver tumors, and the newest addition of the irreversible electroporation allowing us to destroy tumors that can’t be removed. Through minimally invasive surgery techniques and laser probe technology, we can facilitate detection rates and thyroidectomies for benign and malignant tumors.

Through hormonal therapy, chemotherapy and an active and robust clinical trials program, the Hollis Cancer Center’s Urologic Oncology Department is leading the way in treatment options.

Gynecologic Oncology Gynecologic radiation therapy was enhanced in 2019 by the addition of a Multi-Lumen cylinder to provide a more precise radiation dose contouring to cancerous tissue while minimizing the radiation dose to surrounding normal tissues and critical structures.
