As of May 21, 2025, MyHealthNL has expanded to include self-referral for breast cancer and colon cancer screening. You can now submit a self-referral form in MyHealthNL with just a few quick questions. This online self-referral makes cancer screening more accessible and is an additional method alongside existing referral options through the Cancer Screening Program.
Eligibility criteria:
- Breast screening: Individuals aged 40-74
- Colon screening: Individuals aged 50-74
Once you submit an eligible self-referral, you will either receive an appointment letter in the mail or a follow-up call from the Cancer Screening Program. After the screening, you will receive a digital result letter in MyHealthNL with a paper copy in the mail.
If you submit a self-referral and do not meet the eligibility criteria, a digital ineligibility letter will be sent to you in MyHealthNL.
