Determine your
cancer risk with
My CancerlQ
Special to the
Clinton News Record
In less than 5 minutes,
Huron County residents
can receive a personal-
ized risk assessment of
their chances of develop-
ing certain cancers.
April is Daffodil Month
which promotes the
awareness and preven-
tion of cancer in Ontario.
The Huron County
Health Unit encourages
residents to take a few
minutes this April, or any
time, to visit MyCan-
cerlQ.ca.
My CancerlQ calcu-
lates personalized risk
assessments of develop-
ing melanoma, breast,
cervical, colorectal, kid-
ney or lung cancer
through interactive
questionnaires.
Based on the results, My
CancerlQ helps Huron
County residents reduce
their risk of specific can-
cers by also providing an
action plan with tips and
resources based on their
individual risk factors.
"The My CancerlQ
assessments are based on
the latest scientific evi-
dence about cancer risk
factors," says Angela Will-
ert, Senior Public Health
Promoter. "The questions
relate to factors or behav-
iours that research shows
are linked to the risk of
developing a specific type
of cancer:'
Launched in 2015 and
updated even further this
year, My CancerlQ helps
Ontarians learn more, and
do more, about their
health. Cancer Care
Ontario, in partnership
with the Ministry of
Health and Long -Term
Care, developed the tool.
"Preventing cancer
starts with a good under-
standing of your cancer
risk," says Willert. "That's
what Daffodil Month is all
about:'
Since its launch, more
than 146,000 cancer risk
assessments have been
completed at My Can-
cerlQ. Take a few minutes
today to complete your
own personal cancer risk
assessments at MyCan-
cerlQ.ca.
