A 2018 study by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) showed cancer screening could help detect cancer early.

CanRevive will hold a public information session (funded by the Multicultural Health Week) on bowel cancer, cervical cancer and breast cancer screening programs to enhance Chinese awareness of preventive cancer screening and provide identification of early symptoms of cancer, and be able to take appropriate action as soon as these symptoms are detected.
