Cancer Screenings
Cancer Screenings
Routine cancer screenings help identify changes in the body before symptoms appear, which is why they are a regular part of preventive primary care. At Quentin Medical Pc in Brooklyn, NY, we talk with patients about which screenings make sense based on age, family history and personal risk, and we help coordinate the testing and follow-up that comes next.
What Screening Visits Cover
Cancer screening often starts with a conversation about history and risk factors, followed by an exam and, when appropriate, lab work or a referral for imaging. Common screenings discussed in primary care include those related to breast, cervical, colorectal, prostate, and skin health, along with general blood work that can flag issues worth a closer look.
- In-Office Blood Draw — Lab samples for screening-related tests are collected here and sent out, so there is no separate trip.
