Where can I get a Cancer screening in DeKalb County?

There are several DeKalb County and independent run programs and facilities that provide cancer screenings, as well as treatment and after-care services.

I continue to be a strong believer in the life-saving importance of early detection, and I encourage everyone to be proactive about their preventive screenings. - Roy Blunt

According to the DeKalb Medical website, on average, only two to four screening mammograms of every 1,000 lead to a diagnosis of cancer. About 10 percent of women who have a mammogram will need more tests. Only eight to 10 percent of those women will need a biopsy, and most (80 percent) of those biopsies will not be cancer.
