About the Mammography Unit
Saskatchewan is geographically dispersed, making access to cancer treatment and screening programs much more difficult. Access to services can be challenging for many in the rural areas of our province.
The good news is that the Agency brings the exam to you!
The breast screening bus visits approximately 40 rural and remote communities in Saskatchewan on an odd/even year cycle.
Of the breast cancer cases detected through the Screening Program, 75 per cent were diagnosed at an early stage* allowing for more treatment options, greater survival rates and better outcomes for breast cancer patients.
