Important Update: BC Cancer Breast Screening Notices
Effective April 1, 2026, BC Cancer Breast Screening will update how screening results are communicated to patients.
Letters will only be mailed to patients if follow-up or further action is required. Normal screening results that do not require follow-up will no longer be automatically sent by mail. Reminder letters will continue to be mailed when patients are due for screening or when follow-up is needed.
Patients can still access all breast screening results, including normal results, through the following options:
- Online via Health Gateway
- By contacting their health care provider
- By calling the Breast Screening Services Centre at 1-800-663-9203
For more information, refer to BC Cancer Screening’s Common Reminder and Result Notices Resource for an overview of notices issued to patients and health care providers across all four cancer screening programs.
