Catch it early.

Preventative screening, made simple — for the people of Windsor & Essex County.

Listen along, or step through at your own pace
Most cancers are easier to treat when we find them early. Here’s how screening helps.
The picture in Ontario
0 new cancer cases
projected in Ontario, 2026

About 2 in 5 of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime. The good news: many of the most common ones can be screened for.

lung — leads in deaths
0
breast — most common
0
colorectal — very preventable

Lung, breast, prostate and colorectal cancers make up almost half of all new diagnoses.
Closer to home · Erie St. Clair

Our region carries a heavier load.

Above-average lung, breast & prostate cancer
Higher rates of smoking, alcohol & excess weight
Historically lower screening than the province

Windsor-Essex sees more cancer than Ontario as a whole — which makes staying on top of screening matter even more here.

We start with more risk and less screening — a gap we can close together.
The key issue · who’s up to date

Share of eligible Ontarians screened

Breast
0%
Cervical
0%
Colorectal
0% ↓ below the 60% goal

Breast and cervical screening are doing well. But colorectal screening lags — even though a simple at-home test can catch it. That’s the gap worth closing.

Fewer than half of eligible Ontarians are up to date on colon cancer screening.
What we can screen for

Four checks. One easy step.

Breast

Mammogram
Ages 40–74 · from 30 if high-risk

Cervical

HPV test

Colorectal

Lung

Low-dose CT
Ages 55–80 · 20+ yrs smoking

Eligibility depends on your age, history and risk — we’ll sort out what’s right for you.

Some tests are as simple as a kit you do at home and mail back.
Why it works · colorectal example

Found early, the odds are far better.

0%5-year survival when caught early (stage 1)
0%5-year survival when caught late (stage 4)

Screening finds colorectal cancer before you feel it — and can even catch and remove pre-cancers (polyps) before they ever become cancer. The earlier it’s found, the better the outcome.

Caught early, 5-year survival is about 92% — versus roughly 11% once it has spread.
Beyond cancer · one more check

A silent risk worth ruling out.

What

Aortic aneurysm
A bulge in the body’s main artery — usually silent

Who

Men, ages 65–80
Just once — higher risk if you’ve smoked

How

One-time ultrasound
Quick and painless — no needles

It rarely causes symptoms until it becomes dangerous — which is exactly why a single scan, at the right age, can be life-saving.

For men 65–80, a one-time ultrasound can catch an aneurysm before it ruptures.
