Iowa: It's Time to Get Screened
Nearly everyone in Iowa has a cancer story. Cancer Screen Iowa is a statewide public-private partnership initiative focused on increasing early detection by improving cancer screening awareness, access, and participation statewide.
Use the screening tool below to review general screening recommendations based on U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines, and take the next step toward getting screened.

Why Cancer Screen Iowa Exists
Iowa's cancer burden is urgent — but early detection through screening can change outcomes. Cancer Screen Iowa is building a statewide effort to help more Iowans get screened, earlier.
Iowa's Cancer Burden
Iowa's cancer rates are among the highest in the nation, and thousands of Iowans die from cancer each year. Nearly every Iowa family is impacted. This is why early detection has become a statewide priority.
Screening Saves Lives
Screenings can detect cancer earlier, often before symptoms appear. When cancer is found early, treatment is typically less invasive, less expensive, and outcomes improve dramatically.
A Statewide Partnership Solution
Cancer Screen Iowa is working to improve screening rates consistently over time by removing barriers like cost and access, while building a statewide coalition to support outreach, education, and screening participation across Iowa.
