Cancer Screening & Preventive Care
Early Detection for Better Outcomes
Cancer screening is a vital part of preventive healthcare, especially for women. At Dr. Bhavi Shah’s clinic, we offer comprehensive cancer screening services designed to detect potential issues before they become serious. Early detection plays a critical role in improving treatment outcomes and ensuring the health and well-being of our patients.
Cervical Cancer Screening
One of the most important screenings for women is cervical cancer screening. Dr. Bhavi Shah performs regular PAP smears, which help detect abnormal cervical cells that could develop into cancer. This simple yet effective test is recommended for women starting at age 21 and is crucial for preventing cervical cancer.
HPV Vaccination
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a leading cause of cervical cancer. We offer the HPV vaccine to protect against certain strains of the virus that are responsible for most cervical cancer cases. Vaccination is particularly recommended for young women before they become sexually active, but can also benefit older women as part of a preventive care strategy.
Breast Cancer Screening
Mammography is an essential tool for early breast cancer detection. Dr. Bhavi Shah provides thorough assessments and refers patients for mammograms as part of routine breast cancer screening. Early detection through mammography significantly increases the chances of successful treatment.
Comprehensive Preventive Care
Along with cancer screening, we offer personalized preventive care plans tailored to individual health needs. By addressing risk factors, promoting healthy lifestyle choices, and scheduling regular screenings, we aim to empower women with the knowledge and tools needed for long-term health and well-being.
