Comprehensive Cancer Screening in Sarasota, FL
Why Cancer Screening Matters
Cancer screening matters because it finds cancer when it’s silent before symptoms appear. During earlier stages, treatment is often less invasive with more successful outcomes. Finding cancer early can sometimes prevent it from spreading, which can reduce serious complications from developing and lower the risk of it being life-threatening. Consulting with a functional medicine doctor who can interpret your cancer screening results based on your genetics, lifestyle, and overall wellness can help you develop an appropriate strategy for your long-term health.
Genetic Cancer Screening and RGCC Test in Sarasota, FL
Genetic cancer screening completed in Sarasota is used to understand how your DNA can affect your cancer risk, so you and your doctor can make proactive decisions about your health. When genetic markers are analyzed in cancer screenings, they can identify inherited traits that increase your susceptibility to specific cancers. When combined with the RGCC test that evaluates tumor cells in your blood, these two tests enable your doctor to track your genetic risk factors and current cancer activity together. They can also guide your doctor when making individual treatment decisions.

What Our Clients Are Saying

“Dr. Angela Jordan was my doctor, I did the exomind and she did an amazing job of walking me through the process, making sure I was doing good throughout the therapy, and providing additional ideas to help me. In the beginning I was very anxious and she made me feel comfortable and expressed that it was a safe place to express my feelings to get to the root of the problem. She is also very understanding and kind which helped very much with the entire process. I am now feeling very clear minded and feel a lot more grounded and comfortable in myself and my future.”

“Dr Jordan was amazing, I had a detailed conversation about a variety of issues I have been experiencing. It was so refreshing to have someone want to find the cause vs writing a RX to just mask the symptoms. I am diabetic so I have no unreasonable expectations about being cured. I also was so pleased that after my first visit that I was given alternative options and testing that was never even mentioned in the past. ( some are covered by insurance but not all)
That was also a discussion and no surprises.
If you want a concierge service at an affordable price Dr Jordan is a must.“

Can I get a second opinion from your cancer specialists in Sarasota, FL?
If you want to explore a second opinion for cancer care in Sarasota, our Reveal Vitality functional medicine doctor can provide you with a complete evaluation. Our doctors use in-depth testing to determine the root causes of cancer, and treat many types of cancer with integrative therapies. Our effective treatment options can be used along with conventional treatments. We welcome patients who are seeking second opinions.
How quickly can I begin cancer treatment after diagnosis?
Once they confirm your diagnosis, functional medicine doctors begin developing your treatment plan. Some types of therapy and treatment can start within days after you’re diagnosed. Your physician may require additional diagnostic testing and lab results if you have an advanced stage of cancer that needs more extensive evaluation.
Does insurance cover cancer treatments?
Visits with a functional medicine doctor are not typically covered by some insurance providers. Reveal Vitality offers various concierge options for patients who want to prioritize their health and take control of cancer.
How do you get screened for cancer?
Getting screened for cancer usually starts with a conversation with your doctor about your family history, lifestyle, and age. Your physician may order a CT scan or additional imaging, as well as blood tests to detect cancer or precancerous changes early, because treatment is usually more effective when cancer is found earlier.
Is there such a thing as a full cancer screening?
There isn’t a universal test that is a full screening for all cancers. Your physician may request specific screenings based on your age, risk factors, and family history of cancer. They include colonoscopies, mammograms, pap smears, and specific blood tests for each type of cancer. Combined results may provide valuable information about your health, but no all-inclusive screening test for cancer exists.
How accurate are cancer blood tests?
A cancer blood test can provide insights into a person’s overall health and can sometimes detect leukemia or lymphoma. But blood tests alone can’t confirm a definitive cancer diagnosis. For solid tumors, the Cleveland Clinic suggests they usually only offer indirect evidence, like showing abnormal proteins or tumor cells. Positive results in genetic blood tests mean your risk for cancer is higher. A positive RGCC test can detect cancer activity, but can also produce false positive or false negative results. Because of these limitations, your doctor may also order biopsies and imaging to confirm if cancer is present.
What is the RGCC test, and how is it used?
The RGCC test, also called the Greek test or liquid biopsy, identifies tumors that can circulate in your bloodstream. Doctors use it to evaluate the stage of your cancer, predict which treatments might be effective for you, and assess how well your treatment is working. This test isn’t invasive and can be repeated to measure changes in cancer activity.
