Cancer screening

Catch the things that matter, earlier

Cancer screening is about looking for early signs of disease before symptoms appear, when the window for action is widest. At PreventiveMD, our clinicians work with you to understand your personal risk factors and align the right screening cadence with your goals and history. Specific protocols, modalities, and pricing for our cancer-screening offering are being finalized with our medical advisors.

Common reasons patients ask about Cancer screening:

Earlier detection of cancers when treatment is most effective
Personalized cadence based on your individual risk profile
Clear next steps if a screening result needs follow-up
Integration with the rest of your PreventiveMD care plan

Data

What the studies show

Cancer-screening guidelines come from organizations like the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), American Cancer Society (ACS), and specialty societies. Recommendations vary by cancer type, age, and individual risk factors, and are updated periodically as new evidence emerges.

How it works

Tailored to your personal risk profile

Screening protocols, modalities, and intervals depend on the type of cancer being screened for and the patient's risk profile. The general flow:

1
Risk assessment
Your clinician reviews your personal and family history to identify which screens are most relevant.
2
Screening plan
You agree on a tailored screening cadence and any baseline tests to schedule first.
3
Follow-up & monitoring
Results are reviewed together, with clear next steps if anything warrants further evaluation.

Eligibility

Who Cancer screening is for

Generally a good fit for

Adults building a long-term prevention-focused care plan
People with a personal or family history that warrants closer monitoring
Patients who want a clinician partner to help interpret screening guidelines

Not appropriate for

Anyone currently in active treatment for a cancer diagnosis — those needs are better served by an oncology team
People seeking a single one-time screen rather than ongoing preventive care

Side effects

Safety & side effects

All screening tests carry some risk of false-positive or false-negative results, and follow-up testing may carry its own risks. Your clinician will discuss the tradeoffs of each recommended screen with you before you proceed.

Common

False-positive results that prompt additional testing without identifying cancer
Anxiety or stress during the wait for results

Less common but serious
