When will Cancer Care Nova Scotia’s Colon Cancer Prevention Program be operational?
Building a high quality cancer prevention program takes time. We need to make sure we have the right kind and number of health professionals who screen for and treat colorectal cancer appropriately. We need to make sure we have the processes in place to collect information and support these health professionals. We must also develop education and awareness materials so that Nova Scotians understand why screening is important and have the information they need to take advantage of it themselves and to encourage those close to them to do so as well.
