Upcoming events

Registration is now open for the UMMC Cancer Center and Research Institute’s See, Test and Treat event, where free cervical, breast, oral and lung cancer screenings will be offered for qualifying uninsured and underinsured women and men. 

The CCRI and the College of American Pathologists Foundation are hosting the event on Saturday, April 5 from 8-11 a.m. at the CCRI outpatient clinics at the Jackson Medical Mall. The See, Test and Treat program seeks to reduce cancer deaths and provide health education to participants. 

Cancer screenings and education will include age-appropriate mammograms for women ages 40-64 and cervical cancer screening with a Pap test for women ages 21-64. Additionally, oral and lung cancer screenings will be available for men and women — oral cancer screenings for those ages 21-64 and lung cancer screenings for those ages 50-80 who are current or former smokers. Eligible participants will receive a free low-dose CT screening exam. 

Participants will receive prompt results to ensure timely follow-up. Clinicians will be on site to discuss any findings or to answer questions regarding follow-up care. Call 601-815-3572 to determine eligibility and to schedule an appointment.
