Screen Test - AHS Breast Cancer Screening

Screen Test is a provincial screening service that works to educate and increase the number of women, aged 50 to 74, who have regular breast cancer screening using mammograms (breast x-ray). Screening is the best way to find breast cancer early, when treatment has the best chance of working. Screen Test, as part of the Alberta Breast Cancer Screening Program (ABCSP), offers mammograms and information on breast health to women in Calgary, Edmonton, and over 120 communities in rural Alberta. This service uses two mobile mammography clinics to ensure eligible women in rural communities are able to get breast cancer screening. These trailers are “clinics on wheels” complete with a reception area, dressing rooms and an exam room.
