Women with dense breasts in Nova Scotia are being denied potentially life saving screening. Our Op-Ed www.halifaxexaminer.ca/commentary/n...

For #BCAM, know the "rule of 40s": start mammography at age 40 for 40% reduction in risk of death due to #breastcancer and easier treatments. For the 40% of women with #densebreasts, 40% of cancers are missed on mammography and adding MRI helps; US if MRI not possible. @densebreastinfo.bsky.social

Celebrating 1 year of self-referral for mammograms at 40 in Ontario. What a difference it's making. Here is Nicole's story youtu.be/EoWmQv9dcJU

Stories like Kandis' show the importance of knowing one's breast density and the need for all Canadian women with dense breasts to have access to supplemental screening. www.densebreastscanada.ca/kandis/

Important results @densebreastinfo.bsky.social @densebreastscanada.bsky.social from UK BRAID trial. Added invasive breast cancer detection of 15/1000 for MRI, 4.2/1000 for ABUS, or 15.7 for contrast-enhanced mammography, after normal 2D mammogram in dense breasts. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Thank you Dr Wilkinson, I appreciate this so much. It’s almost every day that I talk to women in my dm’s about accessing screening and I can’t wait for it to move from a whisper network to good and fair guidelines for all Canadians.

We to talk have a serious discussion about #cancer screening. Canada’s cancer screening guidelines lag far behind the latest science, and Canadians are paying with their lives, by Dr. Anna Wilkinson canadahealthwatch.ca/2025/03/10/c... via @canadahealthwatch.bsky.social @nicktsergas.ca

Thank you @drpaulagordon.bsky.social @jeanseelymd.bsky.social for this important research. Ultrasound screening significantly improves cancer detection in women with dense breasts (categories c and d). We have the technology. Let's use it. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Alarming! We need action in 🇨🇦 to ensure breast cancer can be found early. That starts with revision of national guidelines which dangerously recommend screening starting at 50. We need reform of the @cantaskforce.bsky.social panel which has no subject matter experts. news.un.org/en/story/202...

It was an honour to advocate with Tanja Harrison. Thank you to Aly Thomson and CBCNova Scotia for this segment looking at the tragic impact of denying supplemental screening to women with dense breasts in 🇨🇦 We have the technology, Let's use it! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We're making progress 🇨🇦 but still a ways to go for optimal and equitable screening. Missing from this chart is supplemental screening for dense breasts and high-risk programs because so few provinces offer them. Let's give all Canadians the best chance to find breast cancer early!
