Breast and Lung Cancer Screening in Paris

Texas Oncology-Paris now conveniently provides cancer screenings for breast and lung cancer in collaboration with Paris Regional Medical Center. Screenings are tests or exams that can help diagnose a disease before symptoms are present. When it comes to cancer, screening exams can help identify the disease in its earliest stages — when treatment will be most effective.
