CANCER SCREENING SAVES LIVES

You can personally reduce the risk of dying from cancer by participating in provincial screening programs for colorectal cancer, breast cancer or cervical cancer. Please encourage your family and friends to take part too.

Michael Geiger-Wolf, cancer survivor and volunteer and Health Minister Theresa Oswald with the MLA Cancer Promise, a document that Manitoba MLAs have signed.

A Promise of Support is a Pledge

to Act.

The Canadian Cancer Society commends all those MLAs who signed the

promise to build a better provincial cancer system, including screening

programs and support for research for all types of cancer.

With this pledge and recent investment in a comprehensive breast

health strategy, Manitoba has taken the first steps toward creating a

nationally recognized cancer plan, a plan recommended by the Canadian

Cancer Society that focuses on enhanced screening, an improved cancer

experience for patients and a reduction in the number of deaths caused

by cancer.
