AHN Cancer Screenings

Early detection saves lives.

If you’ve been putting off scheduling your recommended cancer screenings, we get it. Multiple screenings, multiple appointments. That’s why we’re holding monthly cancer screening events throughout western Pennsylvania.

With heightened cleaning and social distancing practices, we’re taking extra care to make sure every patient is safe in every one of our facilities. You can come in and get the care you need, knowing that we’re taking every precaution to get you seen quickly and safely. View our safety protocols.

Cancer screenings and eligibility

Our screening event is staffed by clinicians who volunteer their time and expertise. Call to ask which screenings will be available at this upcoming event.

Breast cancer

This screening includes a mammogram and a clinical breast exam. You may be eligible for this screening if you are 40+ years old and haven’t received a mammogram in the past 12 months. Know your breast cancer risk and learn more about breast cancer expertise at AHN.

Cervical cancer

Doctors typically recommend that all women get a Pap smear starting at the age of 21. If your results are normal, you’ll most likely only need one every three to five years depending on your age. You may be eligible for this screening if you are 21 – 65 years old. Learn more about cervical cancer diagnosis and treatment expertise at AHN.

Colorectal cancer

You’ll receive a noninvasive fecal immunochemical test (FIT) to screen your stool in the privacy of your own home. You may be eligible for this screening if you are 45+ years old. Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Colon cancer symptoms may go unnoticed. Know your colon cancer risk and call us to check your eligibility for a screening.

Head and neck cancers

The clinician will feel for any lumps on your neck, lips, gums, and cheeks during this physical exam, and may also examine your nose, mouth, throat, and tongue for any abnormalities. You may be eligible for this screening if you are 18+ years old. Learn more about head and neck cancers from the cancer experts at AHN.

Lung cancer

We use low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans to screen people at high-risk for lung cancer. You may be eligible for this screening if you are 55 – 80 years old and have a history of smoking. Know your lung cancer risk and learn more about lung cancer treatment options at AHN.

Prostate cancer

We’re offering prostate specific antigen (PSA) tests for men 45+. This test measures the level of PSA, a substance made by the prostate, in the blood. Learn more about prostate cancer expertise at AHN.

Skin cancer

This screening consists of a physical exam where we’ll check your skin for moles, birthmarks, or any other marks with an unusual color, size, shape, or texture. You may be eligible for this screening if you are 18+ years old. Skin cancers are common cancer types. AHN specializes in early detection and minimally invasive skin cancer treatment.
