FrançaisScreening and prevention clinic
Can cancer be prevented? In some cases, yes. By changing lifestyle habits and making healthy choices, the risk of certain forms of cancer can be reduced. For advice, come and meet our oncologist who will guide you in changing or maintaining healthy lifestyle habits.
In terms of screening, there are early detection programs for cancer, including breast, prostate, cervical and colorectal cancer. Also, some cancers can be hereditary (passed down from generation to generation) and require closer monitoring. Come talk to our oncologist who will go over your personal and family history and advise you on the screening tests available depending on your situation. A referral for genetic counseling may also be offered, depending on your family history.
