You can trust Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center for helpful educational information and support to help you learn and lower your cancer risk, understand the impact of early diagnosis, and your treatment options.
Cancer Screenings
Cancer screening tests help find cancer and have the greatest impact when done early before you experience noticeable symptoms. At Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center, we offer a robust variety of cancer screening programs and strive to make them accessible to everyone. These programs are designed by our teams and include partnerships with community and healthcare organizations, local religious groups and others.
Screening participants can receive support and guidance from our BOLD (Bronx Oncology Living Daily) cancer screening navigation team.
Our screening navigators speak English, Spanish, Bengali, Albanian and many other languages. At every step of the screening process, we make sure you get the care you need, understand your results and are able to take any needed next steps.
