Early detection of breast, cervical, colon and lung cancers

Cancer screening: Why it matters & how to get checked

Looking after your health can be challenging. But early cancer screening can find changes before you even feel a symptom. This is when treatment works best.

In Ontario, these tests are free for eligible people. They can make a life-saving difference.

  • Breast cancer: Regular screening can catch changes early and reduce deaths.
  • Cervical cancer: Regular tests can prevent or catch cancer linked to Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).
  • Colon cancer: Most cases can be cured if found early.
  • Lung cancer: Screening helps stay ahead of the leading cause of cancer death.
