Cancer screening

Screening, close to where you live.

Finding a concern early gives you more choices. Here is what screening is, where Stepin offers it, and how to take part.

What it is

What is cancer screening?

Screening means checking for signs of a health concern before you feel unwell. At Stepin’s community screenings, a trained health professional carries out a clinical examination and talks with you about what they find.

If something needs a closer look, you are guided towards the next step, such as further tests at a hospital. Stepin’s team then keeps in touch to help make sure that step actually happens.

Important. A screening finding does not by itself mean that a person has cancer. It means something needs a closer look.

Why it matters

Concerns found early are usually easier to act on. Screening is most useful when it is followed through: an examination, a clear answer, a referral if needed, and someone checking in afterwards. That is the pathway Stepin works to provide.
