HOW IT WORKS

Though CanScreen is based out of Victoria, our services are offered virtually to all residents of B.C. We offer intake assessments and consultation for breast, colorectal, cervical and lung cancer screening with plans to offer prostate cancer screening in the near future.

In addition to supporting access to screening we assist those patients with a history of cancer access ongoing surveillance testing for colon, breast and prostate cancer.

During these assessments, we’ll talk about your personal needs and refer you to a test that is right for you. All investigations ordered are followed up by a general practitioner, and should further testing or referrals be required, we’re there to help you every step of the way.

For our booking process, see below.
