Listen to episode 6 of Cars and Cancer. It is estimated that as many as half of all cancers in Ontario could be prevented by eliminating known risk factors. In this episode we explore the use of MyCancerIQ in helping raise awareness of risk factors impacting our health. My CancerIQ is a confidential online tool that allows Ontarians to determine their personal risk factors for six types of cancer – melanoma, breast, cervical, colorectal, kidney and lung cancers. We interviewed Dr. Iris Nolan from Brighton Quinte West Family Health Team about how she incorporated www.MyCancerIQ.ca into their practice, resulting in increases in all 3 cancer screening programs. We then had over 25 employees of Kingston General Hospital complete MyCancerIQ and share their thoughts about the tool. Take 5 minutes and complete one of the assessments in MyCancerIQ today!
