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.
