Cancer Services

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Genesee, Orleans, Wyoming and Niagara Counties Cancer Services Program (CSP) is a New York State Department of Health grant-funded program that provides breast, cervical and colon cancer screenings at no cost to eligible men and women. Early detection saves lives and free cancer screenings are available in Wyoming County.

CSP partners with healthcare providers in all counties, so cancer screenings can be done close to home. Providers include doctors’ offices, clinics, hospitals and labs. Enrollment is done confidentially over the phone, making enrollment just a phone call away.
