Cancer screenings are vital tools in the early detection and prevention of serious illness. At mediDental care, we recognize that every person is unique, so we offer personalized and comprehensive cancer screening services for breast, colon, and cervical cancer. Each person receives individualized attention, with screenings tailored to your age, gender, risk factors, and family history. As a leading provider of primary care in Astoria, we help patients take a proactive role in protecting their health.
Early detection saves lives. Our goal is to catch cancer before it progresses—when it’s most treatable and outcomes are best.
Routine cancer screenings can detect abnormalities before symptoms appear. When cancer is found early, treatment is often less invasive and more successful.
Our team will help you decide which tests are right for you based on your age, medical history, and personal risk.
Your journey to better health begins with a thoughtful initial consultation. During this visit, you’ll meet with a caring healthcare provider who will take the time to review your medical and family history, discuss any current health concerns, and assess your personal cancer risk. This is your opportunity to ask questions about screening tests—such as mammograms for breast cancer or Pap and HPV tests for cervical cancer—and to share any worries you may have.
Your provider will consider all relevant factors, including your age, lifestyle habits, and family history of cancer, to recommend the most appropriate cancer screening options for you. Whether you’re wondering about the right time to start certain tests or how your history might affect your chance of developing cancer, you’ll receive clear guidance tailored to your needs. By the end of your consultation, you’ll have a personalized screening plan designed to help you stay proactive about your health and catch any issues early.
Once your personalized screening plan is in place, the next step is diagnostic testing. These screening tests are essential tools in the fight against cancer, helping to find cancer early—often before you feel any symptoms. Depending on your individual risk factors and health history, your provider may recommend tests such as mammograms for women to detect breast cancer, colonoscopies for those with a family history of colon cancer, or other specialized screenings.
Your healthcare team will walk you through the benefits and potential harms of each test, ensuring you understand what to expect and how each screening can impact your health. For example, yearly mammograms have been shown to lower the risk of dying from breast cancer by catching it in its earliest stages. By following recommended screening schedules, you give yourself the best chance to find cancer early, when treatment is most effective and outcomes are better. Taking these proactive steps is a powerful way to protect your health and well-being.
After your screening tests are complete, you’ll receive your results and have the chance to review them with your healthcare provider. If any abnormalities or signs of cancer are found, your provider will explain what the results mean and outline the next steps, which may include additional testing or a referral to a specialist for further evaluation.
It’s important to follow up promptly, as early action can make a significant difference in treatment options and outcomes. Even if your results are normal, your provider will help you set up a schedule for future screenings to ensure you stay on top of your health. At mediDental care, we’re committed to supporting every patient through the entire process, providing clear communication, compassionate care, and expert guidance every step of the way.
At mediDental care, we believe that knowledge is a powerful tool in lowering your cancer risk. Beyond regular screenings, we offer education and resources to help you make healthy choices every day. Our team provides guidance on quitting smoking, maintaining a balanced diet, staying active, and limiting alcohol—all proven ways to reduce your risk for many types of cancer.
We also offer information about the HPV vaccine to help prevent cervical cancer, and we encourage open conversations about any symptoms or changes you notice in your body. By staying informed and making positive lifestyle changes, you can take control of your health and increase your chances of finding cancer early, when it’s most treatable. We’re here to answer your questions, connect you with resources, and support you in every aspect of your cancer prevention journey.
