Screening For Life

Getting screened for cancer regularly is the best way to find it early, before you have any symptoms and when treatment is likely to work best. Alberta currently has provincial screening programs for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer.

Breast Screening

Regular screening mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early, when treatment may work better.

Up to 90% of cervical cancer can be prevented when women have regular Pap tests and follow-up on any abnormal results.

Regular screening with FIT or colonoscopy can prevent and detect colorectal cancer at its early stages when treatment is more effective.
