New Northwest Cancer Plan

Regional Cancer Care Northwest is embarking on a four year cancer plan.

Vice President Michael Power says it will include a new integrated cancer screening program.

"We're buying a new OBSP (Ontario Breast Screening Program) coach where we will add not only breast screening mammography," says Power, "but will also offer pap testing for cervical cancer screening as well as colorectal cancer screening through the distribution of kits."

Cancer Care Northwest also plans to start a new Palliative Care Program.
