Welcome to the Inova Saville Center

We know there are three main factors that contribute to increasing cancer risk: your genetic risk – or risk that is passed down through the family, your environmental exposures, and your lifestyle choices. While we often have no control over the first two factors, our choices surrounding lifestyle, including how active we are, whether we use alcohol and tobacco products, and what we eat, can play a significant role in our risk of developing cancer. No matter your risk level, we are here to help develop a customized plan to help decrease your chances of developing cancer.

Screening and Prevention Services

At the Inova Saville Center, providers will assess each patient’s individual risk through a variety of factors, including family history, lifestyle choices, and environmental exposure. We tailor our prevention plans to each individual's needs and offer support and guidance throughout the process. Together, we can help achieve your wellness goals.

We start by focusing on all three areas of potential cancer risk. Our services include detailed assessments of your risk of developing different types of cancer as well as a facility to carry out most of the cancer screening or testing you may need depending on the results of those risk assessments.
