Cancer screenings check your body for cancer before you have symptoms - this is when treatment works best. It is easy to get screened, and it takes very little time. All women should consult with their healthcare provider about the best screening options for them. The following screening services are available from the health department:
Cancer is a disease in which some of the body's cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body. Screening tests can find some cancers early when treatment works best. The health department offers screening for breast and cervical cancer.
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women in the United States, after skin cancer. Deaths from breast cancer have declined over time, but it remains the second leading cause of cancer death among women overall and the leading cause of cancer death among Hispanic women. Breast cancer caught early is often treatable. Mammograms are the best way to find cancer early, when it is easier to treat and before it can be felt.
Cervical cancer used to be the leading cause of cancer death in American women; however, an increase in women getting screened for cervical cancer has made the number of women who get or die from it decrease significantly. Long-lasting infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause. Cervical cancer is highly preventable thanks to the availability of screening tests and a vaccine for the HPV virus.
The health department works with the Utah Cancer Control Program (UCCP) and local healthcare partners to provide free breast and cervical cancer screening to those who may not otherwise be able to afford them.
