Why Get Screened?
Many recent studies demonstrate that more young people are being diagnosed with cancer than ever before, one citing a 79% increase in cancers for patients under the age of 50. Despite this, many screening tests are only recommended for older patients.
Several deadly cancers have no validated screen available. Many of them have high cure rates when diagnosed at early stages.
Early detection offers the best chance of surviving a cancer diagnosis.
Despite our best medical practices, 2 in 5 Canadians are expected to develop cancer in their lifetime, and 1 in 4 Canadians are expected to die of cancer
