About the Assessment

Regular cancer screening is essential for women’s health, enabling early detection of conditions like breast and cervical cancer when they are most treatable.

Tailored to women’s unique needs, these screenings help uncover health concerns at an early stage, giving women a greater opportunity for effective treatment and recovery.

Supporting Women’s Overall Health and Quality of Life

Breast Cancer Screening

Breast cancer screening involves detecting breast abnormalities, even before symptoms appear. The primary tool is mammography, an X-ray of the breast that helps identify early signs of cancer. Early detection can significantly increase the chances of successful treatment. For instance, the 5-year survival rate for localized breast cancer, when detected early, is about 99% according to the American Cancer Society.

Women aged 40 to 74 are encouraged to have a mammogram every two years. Those aged 75 and older should discuss their screening needs with a healthcare provider.

Cervical Cancer Screening

Cervical cancer screening focuses on detecting cell changes in the cervix before they develop into cancer. A Pap test, the primary screening tool, identifies abnormal cervical cells, allowing for early treatment if necessary. This test has been instrumental in reducing cervical cancer rates globally.

Women starting at age 21, or within three years of becoming sexually active, should have regular tests. Frequency typically depends on your medical history, but testing every three years is a common guideline.

Naturopathy

Naturopathy complements traditional cancer care by addressing women’s overall health and wellness. Using a holistic approach, naturopathic doctors incorporate lifestyle assessments, nutrition guidance, and stress management to support early detection and prevention.

By focusing on the body’s natural healing mechanisms, this approach helps women reduce risk factors, enhance immune function, and maintain balance while prioritizing their long-term health.
