Understanding Your Risk
Early Detection Saves Lives
At Seale Harris Clinic, your health is our priority. That’s why most new patients receive a chest X-ray during their first visit. This allows us to detect abnormalities early—such as nodules—that may need follow-up.
What to Expect
In addition to your wellness check on your first visit, we also tailor additional screenings based on your age, gender, and family history, which may include:
-
CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen)
-
CA 125 (Ovarian cancer marker)
-
PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen)
-
Pap Tests
-
Mammograms
-
CT or PET Scans when further imaging is necessary
These tests help us detect cancer at its earliest stages, when treatment is most effective.
Recommended Screening Guidelines
-
Mammogram: Every 1–2 years for women ages 50–69
-
Pap Test: At least every 3 years for sexually active women
-
Colorectal Cancer: Starting at age 50 with FOBT and sigmoidoscopy every 3–5 years
