Colorectal Cancer Screening

Men and women between the ages of 50 to 74 should get screened for colorectal cancer with a F***l Occult Blood Test (FOBT) every two years. Men and women over 75 should continue to get regular check-ups and discuss with their family doctor or nurse practitioner whether they should continue to be screened for colorectal cancer. If a first degree relative (parent, sibling or child) had colorectal cancer you are at increased risk. Talk to your doctor about getting screened for colorectal cancer when you are 10 years younger than your relative was at the disease onset. Breast Cancer Screening

Women 50 – 74 years of age should get regular breast cancer screening with mammography every two years. Women 75 and over should continue to get regular checkups and discuss with their family doctor or nurse practitioner whether they should continue to be screened for breast cancer. Women between the ages of 30 and 69 and identified by a physician as high risk for breast cancer, should have yearly screening using both a mammogram and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Cervical Cancer Screening

All women who have ever had any s*xual skin-to-skin contact need to have regular Pap tests starting at age 21. This includes in*******se, intimate touching or oral s*xual contact with partners of either s*x. The current recommendation in Ontario is a Pap test every three years. Make the Pap test part of your regular health checkup until you are 70 years old. Pap tests can stop at age 70 if you have had three or more normal tests in the past 10 years. If you have had a hysterectomy, talk to your doctor or nurse practitioner to see if you still need a Pap test.

April is National Cancer Awareness Month — a time to raise awareness, reflect, and recognize the collective effort it takes to support individuals and families impacted by cancer.

Today, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to the dedicated staff across all of our partner sites throughout the region. Your compassion, expertise, and unwavering commitment to patient-centered care do not go unnoticed. From prevention and screening, to diagnosis, treatment, supportive care, and survivorship, your work touches lives every single day in meaningful ways.

Cancer care is more than medicine — it is empathy, reassurance, advocacy, and teamwork. It is the extra time spent answering questions, the kindness shown during difficult moments, and the collaboration across disciplines and organizations to ensure patients receive the best possible care, close to home.

To every clinician, nurse, technologist, administrator, navigator, researcher, lab tech, clerk, volunteer, and support staff member: thank you. Thank you for your resilience, your professionalism, and your dedication to improving outcomes and experiences for those we serve. Your efforts strengthen our health system and make a lasting difference in our communities.

As we recognize National Cancer Awareness Month, we reaffirm our shared commitment to early detection, equitable access to care, ongoing education, and continuous improvement across the cancer care continuum. Together, we are making an impact — and together, we will continue to move forward.

Don't forget to take advantage of the cancer screening programs in Ontario if you meet the eligibility criteria. Early detection saves lives!
