Statement for media
1 min. de lecture
We are very pleased to hear about the
additional investment by the Government of Canada into expediting the Canadian
Task Force on Preventative Health Care’s review of the breast screening
guidelines. The guidelines are a foundation of breast screening programs
nationwide and since the guidelines were last updated, our understanding of
breast cancer has continued to shift and expand. There is an obligation to
ensure the guidelines are keeping pace so that we can feel confident that we
are doing everything possible to improve breast cancer outcomes and help people
live long, healthy lives.
