Why Luminis Health for Cancer Prevention and Screening?At Luminis Health, we place a high priority on cancer prevention and screening. We offer:Cancer prevention programs. We offer workshops, education, and outreach programs. For example, in 2020 we held 105 community events on tobacco and vaping, reaching thousands of people.Special cancer screenings. We offer annual screenings to people at high risk for certain cancers, such as lung cancer. In 2020, we diagnosed 18 people with lung cancer after screening with the low-dose CT scan.Genetic counseling. Our highly trained genetic counselors can evaluate your risk of getting cancer and suggest lifestyle changes based on your family history. Screening for early detectionSome cancers don't cause any symptoms in the early stages. By the time you have symptoms, the cancer may have spread or be difficult to treat. A simple screening test can catch many of these cancers early on.Early detection through screening leads to greater survival rates for breast, colorectal, lung and cervical cancer. Another bonus: If doctors find the cancer in its early stages, you may have the option of having less invasive treatments.
