Unfortunately, most of us know someone coping with the diagnosis of cancer.  With its prevalence at an all-time high, knowing your risk factors and taking steps to reduce your risk is more essential than ever.  The good news is there is much you can do to decrease your risk of developing this disease.

As with most aspects of your health and illness, your FPA doctors can collaborate with you to analyze your risk and take steps to lower it while taking into consideration your family history and current health status.

We follow current guidelines set by the American Academy of Family Physicians and the United States Preventative Services Task Force for both cancer prevention and screening.  These guidelines enable us to assist our patients in choosing the best tests and strategies necessary to help prevent and diagnose cancer.
