Screening
The Time is Now
The Cancer Institute is a proud supporter of the American Cancer Society’s Return to Screening program, designed to encourage everyone to get back on track with their regular cancer screenings. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is estimated that one in three adults has skipped the recommended routine cancer screenings.
Screenings are crucial for early detection, when many cancers—including breast and colon cancer—are most treatable and curable. Delays in screening for breast, colorectal and other cancers delay diagnosis could allow disease to advance in severity and become harder to treat.
