Breast and cervical cancer are both easier to treat when they are caught early. Identifying cancer and pre-cancers in early stages increase the chances of a woman surviving the disease. Breast cancer and cervical cancer are two of the most common cancers in women.

In the United States, nearly a quarter-million women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. Cervical cancer is less common, but one in four women diagnosed die from the disease. Early detection of these cancers can often save a woman’s life.

Many women with breast or cervical cancer don’t experience any symptoms. This means that without testing, they might not know they have cancer until the disease progresses to an advanced stage. Regular mammograms and pap smears can also sometimes identify abnormalities before they develop into cancer.

This can allow a woman to get preventative care right away. What happens if I’m diagnosed with cancer? If you have lived in the U.S. for five years, you might quality for a special kind of Medicaid called Breast & Cervical Cancer Program (BCCP) to cover your health care while you get treatment.

Cancer Screening Locations at Denver Health Breast screenings are available at Denver Health’s main campus (Pavilion A, Women’s Imaging) and at the Women’s Mobile Clinic. Cervical screenings are performed at a number of Denver Health Family Health Centers throughout the Denver Metro area.
