Study shows increasing number of women opting for mammogram
A study conducted by Statistics Canada in 2008 indicated that 72% of women aged between 50 and 69 reported having a mammogram over the past two years. However, only 40% of adults over 50 years of age are screened regularly for colorectal cancer, even though early testing can sometimes prevent cancer.
