Medical research shows that New York residents may not have reason to get a visual skin cancer screening. Most skin cancers are nonfatal, but 74,000 Americans are estimated to receive a diagnosis of melanoma in 2015, according to the National Cancer Institute, and more than 9,900 patients are expected to die in 2015 as a result of the disease. The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force released a statement on skin cancer screening in adults without symptoms.

New York residents genetically predisposed to celiac disease may develop the autoimmune condition either as a child or as an adult. The disease is usually confined to the small intestine, but symptoms are not always apparent and regular screening for at-risk individuals is highly recommended. Screening for celiac disease involves both antibody and genetic testing.
