Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Anyone can develop cancer regardless of their age, health history, or lifestyle. Receiving regular cancer screenings is very important, as some forms of cancer do not show symptoms until the cancer has progressed into something more advanced.

At Urgent Care La Jolla, we are proud to be a trusted provider of cancer screenings in the La Jolla area. When you come to our office for your initial consultation, one of our experienced doctors will conduct a physical examination and review your medical history with you. The doctor will also discuss your daily habits and if there is a family history of cancer to better assess your individual risk – because while anyone can develop cancer, understanding your unique risk factors can help us to screen you effectively.

Cancer screenings play a critical role in early detection and maintaining your overall health. They help identify cancer in its earliest stages, when treatment is typically most effective. Depending on factors like your age, gender, and risk factors, different types of screenings may be recommended. At Urgent Care La Jolla, we offer two types of cancer screenings: Galleri and Prenuvo. We also provide professional mole removal services to help catch and address potentially concerning skin changes early.

Cancer Screening Services We Provide:

The Galleri Cancer Screening Test

Galleri is a multi-cancer early detection blood test that can screen for over 50 types of cancers through a single blood draw – even before symptoms arise. It works by detecting more than hundreds of thousands of DNA fragments in your blood in order to determine if there is DNA shed from cells that are cancerous. If a cancer signal is detected, the screening can often identify where in the body that the cancer originated from, helping you with your next steps on what to do.

The Prenuvo Cancer Screening Test

Prenuvo uses advanced MRI technology to scan the entire body in order to detect abnormalities and early signs of cancer, without invasive measures. When your results are ready, you will get a comprehensive report of your results in the Prenuvo app and a nurse practitioner will walk you through your results.

By offering both Galleri and Prenuvo, our clinic is able to offer patients two of the most advanced tools available for detecting cancer. These cancer screenings give patients the ability to take a proactive approach to their health and to make informed decisions regarding their health.

Skin Cancer

Skin Cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States and 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. While some forms of skin cancer, like for example squamous cell carcinoma, can be treated effectively when caught early, more aggressive types of skin cancer like melanoma can spread quickly and become life threatening if left untreated.

The same team behind our Urgent Care in La Jolla owns and operates The Mole Doctor, a group of 6 specialized mole removal clinics across California. These clinics offer expert evaluations for any patient who comes in for a mole removal. Because moles can sometimes develop into something cancerous, this comprehensive evaluation ensures that nothing concerning is missed.
