Breast cancer screening can save your life.
Every woman has a risk of getting breast cancer, and the risk increases with age. You and your doctor can help in the early detection of breast cancer.
Mammograms, clinical breast examinations, and patient awareness can help detect breast cancer earlier.

We follow the guidelines of the Alberta Cancer Board as outlined in Screening for Life.ca.
