One health issue we all worry about is “the C word” — cancer. No matter your age or gender, it’s important to take an active approach to preventing cancer or identifying it early. Regular checkups and appropriate screenings can identify problems before they occur.

You should consult with your healthcare provider about which screenings are right for you and your family. Ask about the benefits of earlier screenings, particularly if you fall into a high-risk group or have a family history of disease.
