Moffitt Cancer Center’s Screening and Prevention Program specializes in monitoring and early detection for many types of cancer. We provide a wide range of screening, surveillance and counseling services, incorporating the latest advancements in imaging, biomarker testing and genetic risk assessment to give patients the peace of mind they deserve. Working closely with each patient’s referring physician, we empower individuals of all ages to take a more proactive role in their health.
Moffitt’s Screening and Prevention program accept referrals for patients with an elevated risk of cancer due to family history, carcinogen exposure or age, as well as patients who do not currently have any known risk factors but would like to learn more about cancer prevention. We also accept referrals for patients who have received abnormal test results and therefore require advanced monitoring for potentially cancerous developments.
At Moffitt, patients work with a team of physicians, advanced practice professionals (PAs and ANRPs), technologists, scientists, counselors, and fellowship-trained radiologists, all of whom specialize in a specific type of cancer.

- Breast Tomosynthesis (Digital 3D Mammography)
- Breast MRI
- Breast Ultrasound
- Colonoscopy
- DXA Bone Density
- Lung Cancer Screening (Low-Dose CT)
- Genetics Counseling and Testing
