In recent years, cancer has continued to be the leading cause of death in Taiwan. Our hospital cooperates with the Health Promotion Administration for cancer prevention, and has established a cancer screening one-stop service providing free cancer screening. Please bring your NHI card to the cancer screening one-stop service, where staff will explain the process and arrange examinations for you.
Cancer Screening Services (Effective January 1, 2025)：
- Colorectal Cancer Screening — Fecal Occult Blood Test：Ages 45–74, or ages 40–44 with a family history of colorectal cancer; free screening every 2 years。
Collect a fecal sample tube, take a sample from the stool surface, and the laboratory will test for occult blood. No fasting is required, but please postpone the test if you have diarrhea or constipation with bleeding.
- Breast Cancer Screening — Mammography：Women ages 40–74; free screening every 2 years.
The examination is performed at the Radiology Department. During the process, appropriate pressure will be applied to compress the breast to avoid tissue overlap, reduce radiation, and achieve the best imaging results. Although there may be some discomfort, it is generally tolerable.
