As of April 1, 2026, B.C. Cancer Breast Screening will mail a letter to patients only if follow-up or action is needed. Breast screening results that are normal, and no follow-up is needed, will not be automatically sent in the mail to patients. B.C. Cancer Breast Screening will continue to mail reminder letters when the patient is due for screening and when follow-up is needed.
Patients can still get their breast screening results (including normal results) in other ways: online on Health Gateway, by contacting their health care provider or by calling the Breast Screening Services Centre at 1-800-663-9203.
Refer to B.C. Cancer Screening’s Common Reminder and Result Notices Resource for the latest overview of notices sent to patients and health care providers from all four cancer screening programs.
