Currently, there are no formal guidelines for head and neck cancer screening. Head and neck cancers involve the nose, sinuses, mouth, throat, neck, thyroid and skin of the head and neck region. Although routine screening is not recommended for these cancers, our team recognizes that this generalized advice may not represent the specific needs of our community.

Schedule a Professional Screening

If you would ever like to be professionally screened, please call and ask about our periodic, free comprehensive head and neck cancer screening events.

Insurance

Prevention and screening services are typically covered by most insurance plans. Please check to confirm your specific benefits before scheduling your appointment.

Family History

If you have a family history of any type of cancer, be sure to tell your doctor or nurse. If any of your parents, siblings or children have had cancer, you may need to be screened earlier and more often. Your doctor will talk with you about your risk factors.
