EIRMC Cancer Screenings Set for Oct. 29

October 26, 2011

Idaho Falls, ID –  Annual screenings for various types of cancer are still the gold standard in medical practice.  A recent study challenged this commonly-held belief, but EIRMC still supports guidelines set forth by the American Cancer Society that recommends annual exams for prostate, breast, oral, and skin cancers, particularly for people with a family history or of a certain age. 

EIRMC is hosting its 9th annual Community Cancer Screening this Saturday.  Free screenings are slated for breast, skin, colon and oral cancer, along with $15 reduced-cost screenings for prostate cancer. Women also can get a risk factor analysis for cervical, ovarian and other gynecological cancers.  Pre-registration required.  Call 535-4226.
