Breast Cancer Screening:
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. At the Ministry Wellness Center, we focus on identifying breast abnormalities, including tumors and cysts, to detect breast cancer at an early stage through clinical breast exams.
Methods:
We offer clinical breast exams conducted by experienced healthcare providers. This involves a thorough physical examination of the breast tissue to check for any lumps, irregularities, or changes. For mammography, we recommend individuals to contact their local health department, which typically provides mammography services. Mammography is a low-dose X-ray of the breast tissue and is an essential part of breast cancer screening. Regular clinical breast exams, in conjunction with mammography as advised by your local health department, are essential for early detection and may also include breast ultrasound or MRI in certain cases.
Lung Cancer Screening:
Lung cancer is often asymptomatic in its early stages, making regular screening crucial, especially for smokers and high-risk individuals. At the Ministry Wellness Center, we prioritize lung health by providing counseling and risk assessment for lung cancer.
Methods:
Our healthcare professionals offer counseling and comprehensive risk assessments to help individuals understand their risk factors for lung cancer. We discuss smoking history, exposure to environmental factors, and other relevant information. Following this assessment, we guide patients to their local health department for further lung cancer screening, which typically includes low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans. These CT scans are conducted by trained radiologists and provide detailed images of the lungs to detect abnormalities and enable timely intervention. By offering counseling and risk assessment for lung cancer, we empower individuals to understand their risk factors and take proactive steps towards their lung health. We recognize the importance of timely screening and work in collaboration with local health departments to ensure that our patients receive comprehensive care for their lung health. Early detection is critical, and we are here to support you on your journey towards better lung health.
Colon Cancer Screening:
Colorectal cancer is highly preventable through regular screenings. Our colon screening program aims to detect precancerous polyps or early-stage cancer in the colon or rectum.
Methods:
Colonoscopies are a primary screening method, involving the insertion of a flexible tube with a camera into the colon to visualize and remove polyps if found. We may also conduct stool tests (e.g., fecal occult blood tests) to check for blood in the stool, which can indicate potential issues.
Cervical Cancer Screening:
Cervical cancer screenings focus on the early detection of abnormal cervical cells that could develop into cancer. Regular screenings are crucial for women's health.
Methods:
Pap smears are commonly used to collect cervical cell samples, which are then examined for any irregularities. Human papillomavirus (HPV) tests may also be performed to check for the presence of high-risk HPV strains.
Prostate Cancer Screening:
Prostate cancer is a concern for men, especially as they age. Our prostate screening services aim to identify prostate cancer at an early stage when it is most treatable.
Methods:
We offer prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests to measure PSA levels, and digital rectal exams (DRE) where a healthcare provider examines the prostate gland for any abnormalities. These tests are essential for monitoring prostate health and identifying potential issues.
Addiction Screening:
Addiction is a chronic disease that can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, or social status. It can have serious negative impacts on an individual's physical, emotional, and social health. It affects the brain and behavior, leading to compulsive drug use despite harmful consequences. Substance abuse disorders can include alcohol, opioids, stimulants, and sedatives. Addiction screening involves a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's substance use history and associated behaviors. Addiction screening can help identify problematic behaviors early on and provide support for individuals to overcome their addiction.
