Cancer Detection and Treatment
Have questions about cancer? Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute has the answers you're looking for.
Cancer is a group of diseases that occurs when cells in part of the body begin growing uncontrollably. In time, these cancer cells may invade nearby tissues or spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute is a leader in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
Importance of early detection
The earlier cancer is found, the easier it often is to treat. Yet early-stage cancer doesn’t always cause symptoms, such as a lump or unusual bleeding. Screening tests are designed to check for cancer before you have any symptoms. At Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute, we see every day how regular screenings can improve health outcomes and save lives.

Pap tests help to screen for cervical cancer by taking a sample of cells from the surface of the cervix during a gynecologic exam. The sample is sent to a lab for testing, and the results will tell you if there are abnormal cells present.
