What to Do If You Notice These Symptoms
Any time you may notice an abnormality within your body, it is a good idea to consult with a doctor. Cancer screening can be done through several methods, including medical imaging, blood tests, and physical exams. Our state-of-the-art technology and laboratory testing will help our doctors detect any issues and recommend necessary treatments ASAP. Symptoms to keep an eye on include the following and more:
- Significant and unexplained weight loss
- Continuous coughing or hoarseness
- Unexplainable pain
- Persistent fatigue, especially abdominal pain
- Changes in skin

If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to consult with a healthcare provider to receive a cancer screening. It is crucial to detect cancer at early stages so you can receive the care you need as soon as possible. Regular screenings significantly improve cancer prognosis and decreases the risk of cancer-related deaths.
Certain screenings we recommend receiving regularly include mammograms, colonoscopies, pap smears, and more. There are also habits you can adopt to reduce the risk of developing cancer, such as maintaining a healthy lifestyle, exercising regularly, receiving annual wellness exams, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
