Colon cancer is cancer of the large bowel (colon), which is the final part of your digestive tract. Re**al cancer is cancer of the last six inches of the colon. Together, they are called "colorectal cancer," often simply called "colon cancer".

Most cases of colon cancer begin as polyps. Polyps are growths in the colon or re**um that can turn into cancer over time.

A screening mammogram is performed when there are no breast symptoms and no personal history of breast cancer. There is no doctor referral necessary.

A diagnostic mammogram is performed when breast symptoms are present, or there is a personal history of breast cancer. It requires a referral from a doctor or a nurse practitioner.

Our 2026 regional travel schedule is now live!
This year, due to mechanical issues, the Coach will be visiting larger hub communities so that cancer screening can continue safely and reliably.

What this means for you:
▪️Screening services on the Coach are unchanged
▪️Travel supports may be available to you, depending on where you're travelling from
▪️This is a temporary approach as plans for a new Coach are underway

We appreciate your patience as we work to keep screening closer to home for communities across the region.
