Cancer Care Ontario and the Waterloo Wellington Regional Cancer Program are introducing two new cancers to their online cancer risk assessment tool – My CancerIQ. Now, in addition to breast, cervical, colorectal and lung cancer, residents can also assess their risk for kidney cancer and melanoma at MyCancerIQ.ca.
Since the launch of My CancerIQ in early 2015, more than 146,000 Ontarians have learned about their cancer risk and how to lower it. With these new additions, Cancer Care Ontario wants to help Ontarians better understand kidney cancer and melanoma and how to reduce their risk.
It is estimated that as many as half of all cancers in Ontario could be prevented by eliminating risk factors.
To find out more about kidney cancer and melanoma risk factors, residents of Waterloo-Wellington can visit MyCancerIQ.ca to complete the assessments and get personalized action plans.
