New Cutting-Edge Cancer Prevention Center Opens in Fairfax

Virginia residents have an important new resource in the fight against cancer: the Inova Saville Screening and Prevention Center in Fairfax, which opened in May, 2022. The integrated hub is among only a few such resources in the U.S., and the first in our region. It offers full-spectrum cancer services from screening and monitoring through diagnosis and treatment.

Its multi-disciplinary approach includes specialists, surgeons, genetic counselors, dieticians and nurses. It offers patients comprehensive services for effective early detection and management and access to the latest research and preventative interventions.

The Center’s innovative approach was initially conceived by Inova Schar Cancer Institute President John Deeken, MD because more than 40 percent of cancer cases in the United States are attributed to preventable risk factors.

“This new state-of-the-art facility provides greater access to routine cancer screening as well as a comprehensive approach to minimizing cancer risk.”

Through a care model of lifestyle mentoring and intervention, the Center provides comprehensive screening and prevention services for breast, lung, pancreatic, prostate, thyroid, gastrointestinal, head and neck, melanoma and skin and gynecological cancers. Services are also available for those at average risk who want to learn about ways to modify or change their lifestyle to reduce their risk of developing cancer.

The Inova Saville Center’s exponential expansion and growth this year and in the coming years is fueled by the generous philanthropic support from Visionaries like you. This includes:

• Additional educational programming like nutrition lectures, fitness classes and cancer genetic group classes

• Clinical expansion by hiring new team members to meet demand

• Adding more clinics such as bariatrics, gynecology, nutrition and behavioral health

• Innovative practices like our new Thyroid Nodule Clinic
