Benefits of an Organized Cancer Screening Program

The Ontario Breast Screening Program is a province-wide screening program that aims to reduce breast cancer deaths through regular screening. Organized cancer screening programs, such as the Ontario Breast Screening Program, provide important quality benefits by:
  • Inviting people to participate in screening
  • Reminding screening participants when it is time for their next screening test
  • Telling participants their screening test results
  • Advising participants to follow up after an abnormal test result
  • Tracking participants throughout screening and diagnosis processes
  • Helping participants coordinate the next steps in their screening process if needed (e.g., genetic assessments for the High Risk Ontario Breast Screening Program)
  • Measuring program quality and performance
