Education Modules
A disease that starts in the cells
Genes inside cells order growth, work, reproduction and death
What is Cancer?
What is Cancer?
Normally, cells obey orders and remain healthy
Sometimes instructions fail and cells form cancer
Benign (non-cancer)
Benign tumor cells stay in one place in the body and are not usually life-threatening
Malignant (cancer)
Malignant tumor cells are able to invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. Cancer cells that spread to other parts of the body are called metastases
Tumors Can Be:
Cancer often has no specific symptoms
It is important that people limit their risk factors and undergo appropriate cancer screening

A test,An examination or
A procedure
That is performed regularly over time for a specific population that is at increased risk due to gender, age, family history and/or behavior.
What is Cancer Screening?
to prevent cancer by identifying pre-cancerous changes
to find cancer at an early stage potentially before it can spread, when it is easier to treat, and survival rates are better
Purpose of Screening
Ontario Cancer Statistics 2013
New Cases Deaths
Breast cancer 8,577 1903
Cervical cancer 588 160
Colorectal cancer
7,840 (Total)4,204 (M)3,636 (F)
3,130 (Total)1,671 (M)1,459 (F)
Reduced mortality and morbidity from the disease, and in some cases reduced incidence
More treatment options and better chance of survival when cancer is diagnosed early or at a pre-malignant stage
Improved quality of life
Peace of mind
