Getting checked
Screening tests help find some types of cancer early, before you have any symptoms. Some screening tests can even help prevent cancer by finding changes in your body that would become cancer if they were left untreated.
Talk to your doctor to learn more about your risk of cancer and what screening tests are available to help find cancer early.
If you have a family history of cancer, you may be at higher than normal risk for some cancers. Talk to your doctor about your history and whether you should be tested at an earlier age than recommended by the provincial guidelines.
