Cancer Screenings

Cancer Screenings for the Odessa, TX Community

Cancer screenings, like going to the dentist or getting a physical exam, should be part of your yearly routine. Cancer screenings are tests that can help detect cancer before any symptoms appear. The earlier cancer is detected, the easier it will be to treat and cure before it grows and spreads. While you may think you feel fine and can skip a screening, it is crucial to schedule screenings to ensure there isn't any abnormal tissue or changes that may or may not be cancer.

At Permian Women's Center, we provide cancer screenings for various cancers and will detect early warning signs before it is too late. Give us a call today to schedule your annual cancer screening. We welcome residents throughout Odessa and Midland, TX.  

Cancer Screenings & When to Get Them

Breast Cancer Screenings: Women aged 45 to 54 should get mammograms yearly. After age 55, you can continue getting a mammogram annually or every other year. Depending on your family history, your doctor may recommend starting mammograms earlier. 

Cervical Cancer Screenings: Human papillomavirus (HPV) tests and Pap tests are used to screen for cervical cancer. Women ages 25- 65 should get a Pap test every three years or an HPV test every five years. 

Endometrial Cancer Screenings: Around the time of menopause is when you should begin learning more about endometrial cancer. Unexpected bleeding or spotting can be warning signs of endometrial cancer. Women with hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) have a very high risk of endometrial cancer.

Colon Cancer Screenings: Regular colon cancer screenings should start at age 45 and continue until age 75. Your doctor will determine how often you should receive a screening.
