Cancer Screening for Veterans

The Veterans Health Administration’s National Oncology Program Office (NOP) is leading the future of cancer care and standing shoulder to shoulder with Veterans diagnosed with cancer. Cancer care starts at cancer screening. There are four types of cancers for which VA routinely screens. They are cervical, breast, lung, and colorectal cancer. Age and certain risk factors, such as a past or current history of smoking and family history, all determine when you qualify for a cancer screening. Don't delay! Ask your primary care provider which cancer screening is right for you. To learn more about cancer care at VA, visit https://www.cancer.va.gov.
