Men's Cancer Screenings
The Importance of Early Cancer Detection
Every championship team has a game plan. When it comes to the cancers that affect most men, early screening is the single most important play you can make.
"It's my job as a coach to get players ready for games, but leadership is also about taking accountability for your health. I preach to the players, even at a young age, you need to get screened."
- Brian Schmetzer, Head Coach Seattle Sounders FC
Our Approach to Keep You in the Game
Providence Swedish is proud to team up with Seattle Sounders FC in a game-changing partnership that goes beyond the field and into the well-being of the community. Just like elite athletes follow a consistent training schedule, men’s health screenings are key to a winning outcome.
Check out some straight talk from Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer and learn why getting screened is a smart play when it comes to your health.
Important Cancer Screenings
Cancer doesn't wait for a convenient time. The men who beat cancer are almost always the ones who catch it early. Family history, lifestyle and age determine which screenings you need and when. Talk to your primary care doctor about recommended screenings because your team – your family and the people who count on you – needs you in the game for the long run.
Additional recommended health guidelines include:
- Heart health – Taking care of your heart is a life-long commitment. Our clinics provide expertise in heart disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
- Skin checks - A full-body skin exam by a dermatologist takes 15 minutes and can spot suspicious moles, lesions, or growths that you might miss on your own.
- High-Risk Screening Program - If you're at a higher risk of developing cancer, our program includes enhanced screening options, genetic counseling, testing, and risk-reducing strategies for better early detection and prevention.
Primary Care Made Easy
Regular annual physicals establish a baseline and catch issues before they become more serious. Blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, and BMI all factor into your overall cancer risk profile. Just like every great athlete has a trainer who knows their body inside and out, your primary care doctor is an essential partner to help you stay healthy.
