Hamilton has some of the highest rates of breast and lung cancer in Ontario.
Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre President Dr. Bill Evans says part of the reason is that not everyone in the Hamilton, Halton, Niagara and Haldimand area is being screened and that is something that is being addressed.Evans says not all the news is bad as you can avoid being a statistic by getting screened, stop smoking, getting daily exercise and eating fruits and veggies.
Not all the stats are bad through, once someone is diagnosed with cancer they get to treatment at a rater higher than the provincial average and our area scores well in quality of care.
