Episode Details

Ontario just joined Prince Edward Island as the second Canadian province to lower colorectal cancer screening age to 45—effective July 1—with at-home tests now available for anyone over that age, aiming to catch polyps early and prevent cancer before it strikes. With cases rising in younger adults, experts say early detection saves lives and cuts long-term healthcare costs—nine out of ten can be cured if caught early. While most provinces are still debating, high-risk individuals already get earlier screenings. And if you have symptoms? See a doctor immediately—don’t rely on the test. This shift could dramatically reduce late-stage diagnoses and save countless lives.
