Kensington Health's Screening Clinic team is here for you. Fight cancer with early detection.
“With colorectal screening, we’re able to remove the disease before it turns into cancer." - Dr. Ian Bookman
Our Goal
We strive to encourage everyone to be aware of the common signs of cancer, and to emphasize early detection for all.
“Many people don’t think cancer will happen to them, and don’t want to discuss colonoscopies, but it’s important to talk about it because colon cancer is the most preventable cancer. People are anxious about getting their colonoscopy done, but after their screening they often say, ‘I can’t believe that’s it.’” Says Dr. Ian Bookman, the medical director of Kensington Screening Clinic.
Kensington Screening Clinic provides 5000 screening colonoscopy and 2000 gastroscopy procedures every year to people in the Toronto community.
Barbara Gousvaris, Registered Nurse at Kensington Screening Clinic, knows the signs to watch out for when it comes to protecting your digestive health.
“You have to be aware of any changes in your bowel habits such as frequency, colour and shape, blood in your stool, abdominal pain and unintentional weight loss. These are all signs of possible problems” says Barbara.
