Cancer is a major cause of illness and death worldwide, and here at Manhattan Primary Care, our primary care physicians NYC focus on prevention and prompt detection. Our goal is to check for early signs of cancers, when the disease is frequently more treatable and which allows for a better long-term prognosis. A screening will check your body for cancer, sometimes before you develop symptoms. You should always consult your physician to determine the appropriate screening tests and intervals. Guidelines change and your doctor will customize the recommendation to your specific case to keep you in good health.

COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENING

Usually, colorectal cancer develops from small polyps found in the colon or rectum. Regular screening can detect these polyps, removing them before they become cancerous. Regular screenings usually begin at age 45 (or earlier based on risk factors). Please speak with your doctor about the appropriate screening regimen as guidelines change and your doctor will need to investigate your risk factors before making a recommendation.

You might need to be tested earlier if you have a family history of:

- Colorectal cancer

- Inflammatory bowel disease

- Genetic syndrome that increases your risk

COLORECTAL SCREENING TESTS

There are several colorectal cancer screening tests, and stool tests to detect signs of blood and which are usually carried out. Colonoscopy is the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening. Alternative tests may be available based on your situation so you should speak with your primary care doctor.

CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING

Cervical cancer causes can often be treated very successfully when detected early. The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a known risk factor for cervical cancer, and we can test for this separately. Depending on the results and whether you have HPV, the frequency of tests ranges. Please speak with your doctor about the appropriate screening regimen as guidelines change and your doctor will need to investigate your risk factors before making a recommendation.
