Cancer hasn't stopped because of COVID; however, COVID has led to a drastic decline in cancer screenings. Cancer screenings can help doctors find and treat several types of cancer early, before they cause symptoms. Early detection is important because cancers that are found early may be easier to treat.
In recognition of National Mammography Day, schedule your breast cancer screening today! If you're unsure whether you need to be screened for breast cancer, be sure to talk with your healthcare provider.

Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. More than 200 lung cancer deaths per year in Kansas -- and 21,000 per year in the United States -- may be linked to indoor exposure to radon. The good news? Prolonged radon exposure can be prevented. Test kits are available at Kansas county extension offices and local hardware and builder's supply stores.

Patients who suffer from aortic stenosis no longer need to travel outside of the Salina area to receive the most advanced, least invasive treatment. The Heart Center at Salina Regional Health Center now offers transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) surgery, a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure to replace the aortic valve.
Prior to TAVR, treatment options were limited to temporarily improving valve function by prescribing medication or replacing the diseased valve in open-heart surgery. TAVR does not require open-heart surgery; instead, replaces the aortic value with a tissue valve via a catheter. With TAVR, the recovery process can be much shorter and less painful.
The decision to treat aortic stenosis with TAVR is made after consulting with a team of heart specialists working together to determine the best treatment options. The Heart Center’s TAVR team includes cardiothoracic surgeons – Dr. Elias Quintos and Dr. Richard Toon – and cardiologist Dr. David Battin.
If you are experiencing symptoms of aortic stenosis including chest pain, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath and/or irregular heartbeat call the Valve Clinic at 785-452-6772 to request a consultation.
