Thanks @ElleCanada for covering this. Breast cancer is increasing in younger women. All women in Canada will soon be able to self refer starting in their 40s, ideally starting at 40. A new lump in a woman of any age should be investigated. https://t.co/1kzKOcN2ic

“[My doctor] told me that at my age, it was bound to be nothing,” says Stephanie Massé. One week later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

For years, women were told to wait until 50 for their first #mammogram. The evidence says otherwise. Screening from age 40 has been proven to save lives & the “50 rule"" came from bad math — not biology. @JBI_SBI

Thank you @Dx_imaging for highlighting our research that complements the recent BRAID trial results for screening CEM in the UK. Cancer detection from CEM of 10/1000 even after tomosynthesis. @EUSOBIyc @BreastImaging @NCCN guidelines evolving.

This is why all women in 🇨🇦 deserve screening mammograms starting at age 40, and up to at least age 80. Women with dense breasts need supplemental screening with MRI, US or CEM so their cancers can also be detected early, saving lives, and providing better quality of life.
MOD predicts outcome of breast cancer: symptom vs screen detection had 63% higher mortality at 6.7 years, 6.6x>advanced stage, 2.2x> mastectomies and 2x> chemotherapy. 40-49 and 75+years were >70% symptom detected- we must offer them screening https://t.co/kAZpLDlIjP

Women at "high risk" for breast cancer should have screening MRI each year. Dense breasts are one of the risk factors to consider and also hide cancers on mammography. Learn more @DenseBreastInfo

Most patients who develop breast cancer do not have any risk factors other than being a woman and getting older.

Since many of you supported my intentions to write a thank-you letter to the emergency room doctor who diagnosed my ovarian cancer, I decided to share what I sent to her. (Grab a coffee, it’s a long read). In an age of anger, why not choose gratitude? #fuckcancer #yyj 1/12

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
