About
The Sapporo Cancer Screening Center, located in Higashi Ward, Sapporo, is a medical facility specializing in cancer screening operated by the Hokkaido Anti-Cancer Association, a public interest incorporated foundation. The association operates screening services at three locations—Sapporo, Asahikawa, and Kushiro—as a specialized organization working on cancer prevention and early detection throughout Hokkaido. This facility conducts five types of cancer screenings: gastric cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and cervical cancer, with particular emphasis on cancer screenings for women. Specialized outpatient clinics are also available, and a comprehensive follow-up system is in place after screenings. The facility features barrier-free design and ample parking, creating an accessible environment for people of all ages. English-language support is available, and credit cards and electronic payment methods are accepted, providing highly convenient services. The association operates the Hokkaido Cancer Control Fund under the catchphrase "Lives That Can Be Saved, Bonds That Save Them," promoting initiatives to support cancer patients and their families throughout society. Cancer telephone consultations are also provided, addressing not only screenings but also concerns and questions about cancer. With Hokkaido's cancer mortality rate ranking second worst nationwide, and the growing importance of early detection and treatment, the center plays a central role in regional cancer control efforts.
