Cancer Screening Guide - Screening For Life

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Answering a few short questions will help you find out whether you should start screening for breast, cervical or colorectal cancer. This guide should take a few minutes to complete.

Screening tests can detect cancer early, before symptoms appear and when treatment is likely to work best. Your answers to these questions can play a key role in deciding if screening is right for you. Screening for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer is FREE for eligible Albertans!
