A risk you shouldn't take
Although Australians have access to free screening for cervical, breast and bowel cancer, only around half of those eligible take up the offer. 1
Cancer screens are tests which can detect certain body changes or early signs of cancer. Some are offered as part of a population screening program - for example, BreastScreen Australia, the National Cervical Screening Program and the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program. Others, such as prostate examinations, may be recommended by doctors for certain people who are deemed to be at risk. Maintaining a regular screening schedule, in line with recommendations, plays an important role in the early detection of many cancers.
Timing is everything
Screening recommendations differ according to your gender, age, and history of previous test results. It's important to be aware of when you are due for screening, and there are several services available to help you remember. For example, women can have their details added to a cervical screening register, and many medical practices have a reminder system in place.
Of course, these systems rely on you keeping your contact details up-to-date, and those who change GPs may miss their reminder.
