What is the Colon Cancer Prevention Program?
The Colon Cancer Prevention Program was developed by Cancer Care Nova Scotia with the goal of decreasing the number of colon cancer deaths in Nova Scotia by facilitating regular screening of all Nova Scotians aged 50 – 74. It is now available in the Annapolis Valley, Cape Breton, Colchester East Hants, Guysborough Antigonish Strait, South Shore District and South West Health Authorities. The program will be available province-wide by the end of 2011.
