Life-saving cancer screenings in Southeast Georgia
Healthy lifestyle choices, such as avoiding smoking and maintaining a healthy weight, are essential in reducing your cancer risk. However, regular cancer screenings are one of the most effective ways to protect your health. For individuals at higher risk due to genetic, environmental, or other factors, these screenings are critical for the proactive, early detection and treatment of cancer.
The Health Promotion and Screening Program (HPSP) at St. Joseph's/Candler offers a comprehensive wellness initiative for the citizens of Southeast Georgia and the South Carolina Low Country. This program is designed to enhance individual health by conducting thorough screenings, identifying risk factors, and providing education to empower healthier lifestyle choices.
Lung cancer screening
Lung cancer screenings, a vital tool for detecting this life-threatening disease in its earliest and most treatable stages, are available at four St. Joseph's/Candler Center for Imaging Services locations. By prioritizing early detection, these screenings can save lives.
A lung cancer screening uses a low-dose CT scan to detect lung nodules that may be cancerous. This non-invasive test allows radiologists to identify potential signs of lung cancer early, often before symptoms appear. Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment.
