PITTSBURGH - Allegheny Health Network (AHN) Cancer Institute today released its comprehensive cancer screening schedule for 2025, offering convenient and accessible options for early detection and prevention across its network.
The schedule, available on the AHN website (https://www.ahn.org/lp/comprehensive-cancer-screening-clinic/schedule-cancer-screening), details numerous screening options for patients to receive several different cancer screening tests in one place, all at the same appointment.
Based on eligibility, patients can receive tests for breast, cervical, colorectal, head and neck, lung, prostate, and skin cancers.
The 2025 schedule features expanded availability at multiple locations throughout the AHN network, aiming to reduce barriers to vital preventive care. The schedule highlights specialized initiatives to accommodate diverse schedules, including:
Registration is now open for the first Saturday clinic of 2025 will be held on Jan. 11, 2025, at the AHN Cancer Institute Allegheny Valley - 1301 Carlisle Street, Natrona Heights, Pa. 15065.
"Early detection is critical in improving cancer outcomes," said James Betler, DO, director of the AHN Cancer Institute Growth and Outreach. "We know that getting multiple screenings at multiple appointments can be cumbersome, which is why the AHN Cancer Institute is committed to providing convenient and accessible cancer screening services to the community. Our 2025 schedule reflects our ongoing efforts to expand access and empower individuals to take control of their health."
