Letters to the Public about Cancer Screening
Why send letters about getting screened for cancer?
We send personalized letters to invite eligible Ontarians to get screened for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer. We also send letters reminding Ontarians when it’s time to get screened again and informing them of their screening test results.
The letters encourage Ontarians to speak to their healthcare provider about their screening options and to follow-up on their screening test results, if necessary.
Our letters align with internationally accepted practices for organized screening programs. They also support healthcare providers in their efforts to increase screening rates and to follow up on their patients’ unsatisfactory and abnormal screening test results.
