Screening and Prevention Program

In the fight against cancer, early detection is an important weapon since cancer is most treatable in its early stages. Many forms of cancer do not display symptoms at their onset, so screening tests help to monitor for warning signs. Cancer screenings are available at Karmanos Cancer Institute locations in Bad Axe, Bay City, Clarkston, Detroit, Farmington Hills, Flint, Gaylord, Lansing, Lapeer, Maumee (Ohio), Mount Clemens, Mount Pleasant, Petoskey, Pontiac, Port Huron and Roseville.

Patients who participate in the Screening and Prevention Program at Karmanos will receive unmatched attention from a specialized team of experts. We use the latest technology and guidelines to ensure our patients receive accurate and timely results. Our care team will make sure that you feel comfortable throughout the screening process and understand your test results.
