Hello. I'm Doctor Clayton Hess, founder of CureRays Radiation Medicine. Let me walk you through this page: Keep Cancer Away®. The best cancer is the one you never have — or the one caught so early it's easy to cure. Keep Cancer Away® is our prevention, screening, and survivorship philosophy. Here is what you'll find on this page. Prevention, detection, vigilance. Keeping cancer away means acting before cancer does. Find your cancer. Each page covers the whole picture for that cancer — who is at risk, how it is found, how it is staged and graded, how it is treated, what the guidelines recommend, the odds of cure, the side effects we watch for, and what follow-up looks like. Everyday ways to lower your risk. Don't smoke, and limit alcohol; Protect your skin from the sun and avoid tanning beds; Stay active and maintain a healthy weight. You, or someone you love, has cancer. Here is what you can do next. Start with a screening. Early detection is your best defense. Look for the button marked Schedule screening.

It is not medical advice — please confirm anything here with your care team. --- PRONUNCIATION KEY (not spoken) --- CureRays -> CURE-rays
