It’s that time of year again! If you are a breast cancer researcher in Canada & have had your research recently accepted, presented or published - please submit your abstract to the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Forum at the Canadian Breast Cancer Symposium June 19th-20th 2025!

Despite the progress made in treatments to improve the lives of breast cancer survivors, a persistent gap exists in education focused on breast cancer survivorship for survivors and those close to them. This leaves survivors without the necessary tools to navigate this intricate

Last year, our government made a historic announcement to lower the age of eligibility for self-referral for publicly funded mammograms. Starting today, if you are over the age of 40, you can self-refer for a mammogram and access the care you need sooner. https://t.co/i7ZEt39VV1

October is #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth! Support @TOBreastCO in driving collaborative & diverse research, education, and leadership in the GTA & beyond. Together, we can make a lasting impact. #DonateNow and support the future of breast cancer care:

8⃣ E Kouzmina @UofTSurgery: Over 8 years, the use of SLNB after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for cN1 breast cancer increased significantly, while ALND decreased, reflecting a shift toward less invasive surgeries @CAGS_ACCG @CAGS_Residents @SocSurgOnc @alilyroberts #CSF2024

Last OR day of fellowship, finishing with some tough but great cases! Incredibly privileged to have trained @UofTSurgery under some of the greats of Breast Surgical Oncology. Just like that, 9 years of medical training comes to an end! "The days are long but the years are short."

Can’t agree more! The future of Toronto breast surgery is bright - so happy to welcome two amazing future BSO fellows!

We are hosting an evening of #breast health & #breastcancer updates for primary care providers on Nov 28th @WCHospital! If you are a primary care provider in the Greater #Toronto Area, we’d love to have you join in-person! For everyone else, we have a virtual option! #bcsm 👇🏻👇🏻

Pessimists see problems. They worry about what could go wrong in the future. Optimists see possibilities. They focus on what could go right in the future. Proactive people turn problems into possibilities. They give us reasons to be optimistic about the future.

In honour of October breast cancer awareness month, I’m excited to announce “Breast Cancer Series” with collaboration @WellspringGTA
