St. Joseph’s Health Care London has successfully conducted pop-up cervical cancer screening clinics, screening more than 700 individuals since the program's inception in January 2024. These clinics have been crucial in addressing the barriers faced by residents, particularly those without a family doctor. Dr. Robert Di Cecco, medical director of St. Joseph’s Colposcopy Clinic, emphasized the importance of these services in preventing cervical cancer, noting that screening is one of the most effective preventive measures. The initiative has adapted to Ontario’s updated cervical cancer screening program, which now uses HPV-based testing instead of the traditional Pap test. This method focuses on detecting the human papillomavirus, a significant risk factor for cervical cancer, and allows for longer intervals between screenings when results are normal. Approximately 5% of patients screened have shown abnormalities that require follow-up, consistent with historical data. The clinics, now rebranded as 'Pop-up Cervical Check,' operate without appointments, targeting individuals aged 25 and older who have not been screened in the last three years.
