Dignity Health has teamed up in partnership with the Arizona Cardinals to promote early cancer detection through the Arizona Cardinal’s Crucial Catch: Intercept Cancer initiative. To learn what screenings are right for you talk to your doctor today.
Make a Crucial Catch with Dignity Health and the Arizona Cardinals by getting screened. Screenings for breast, colon, lung, prostate and skin cancer can help with early detection – which can save lives.
In some cases you may need a referral from your primary care provider. Don't have a primary care provider? No worries, Dignity Health offers many convenient primary care locations throughout the Valley.
Annual screening mammograms are recommended for women ages 40 and older. Your provider may recommend a different screening schedule if you’re at higher risk for breast cancer.
The risk of colon cancer increases with age and family medical history of the disease. That’s why we recommend screening for everyone ages 45 and over.
Of gynecological cancers, only cervical cancer has a screening test, known as the Pap test, which improves your chances for prevention or successful treatment by detecting cell changes early. We recommend Pap tests for all women between ages 21 and 65.
A low-dose CT screening for lung cancer may be recommended for men and women, ages 50 to 77, who are current or former smokers with a smoking history of 20 pack-years. A referral from a provider is needed for a low-dose lung CT screening.
Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of death, but early detection can make all the difference. Screenings save lives.
Prostate cancer screenings are recommended for men ages 55 years and older, and those at high risk, particularly African-American men. Talk to your provider about the risks and benefits.
Melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer, and it’s especially common here in sunny Arizona. And residents who are older, have fair skin, blue eyes, or a history of cancer are even more at risk. Ask your provider for more information about skin cancer screenings.
Talk with your primary care provider about any other cancer-related screenings you may need.
