Cancer screening finds disease earlier, when treatment is most effective and recovery is more likely. Many cancers begin without obvious symptoms, making routine screening an essential part of preventive health. From cervical and breast cancer screening to colorectal and skin checks, recommended tests reduce risk, improve outcomes, and provide peace of mind for you and your family.
At Integrous Family Care in Charlotte, NC, we help you understand which screenings fit your age, history, and risk factors, then coordinate testing so it is simple to complete. Sabrina McCluskey, MSN, FNP-C, brings more than 20 years in nursing and 16 years in advanced practice to personalized prevention. She explains the purpose of each test, helps you prepare, and reviews results with clear recommendations for next steps.
The Importance of Cancer Screening
Screening can detect precancerous changes or early cancers before symptoms begin. Pap smears find cervical cell changes that are highly treatable. Mammograms identify breast abnormalities when they are most responsive to care. Colonoscopies remove precancerous polyps and reduce future risk. For skin cancer, early evaluation of changing moles supports swift treatment and better outcomes.
Guidelines vary by age, family history, and personal risk. Adults benefit from a schedule that may include Pap smears and HPV testing, mammograms, colorectal screening, and skin evaluations. Patients with family history, tobacco exposure, or other risks may need earlier or more frequent tests. We tailor recommendations so you understand what is due now and what comes next.
