In a heartbeat: What mammograms can reveal about your health beyond breast cancer triblive.com/local/regional/…
Could breast density be deliberately reduced? Swedish trials found low-dose Tamoxifen and Endoxifen reduced breast density in premenopausal women. Could lowering density one day help reduce breast cancer risk? We don’t know yet, but research continues. academic.oup.com/.../10.1093…
10 years ago, most women in Canada weren’t told their breast density. Today, so much has changed. But our work isn’t done. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re celebrating progress and looking ahead to what’s next in finding breast cancer earlier. #BCAM
An important read. Too many women in 🇨🇦 do not have access to the screening their level of risk warrants. Thank you @DrPaulaGordon @JeanSeely for your advocacy. Thank you Kelly Thompson for sharing your story.
From AI software predicting cancer odds on mammograms to cancer-detecting breath tests, technology has revolutionized how we evaluate risk. But experts agree that Canada’s one-size-fits-all approach to breast cancer is leaving high-risk people behind. thewalrus.ca/breast-cancer-h…

Dense breast tissue is common. It's not a disease.
But it does affect what your mammogram can detect, and it's information every woman needs to understand. The 5 things to know: densebreast-info.org/for-pat…
It was a privilege to work with Cathy Burke to bring density notification to Manitoba in 2021. There is no supplemental screening in MB. Cathy was diagnosed at stage 3C. Lives continue to be needlessly lost in MB. @WabKinew passages.winnipegfreepress.c…

Wonderful webinar by the American Cancer Society and the National Breast Cancer Roundtable. Excellent presentations by @DrWendieBerg and @JoAnnPushkin. Every woman with dense breasts should watch it:

BC has come a long way, but has to do much better for women with dense breasts. Thanks to @CTMinBC for amplifying this issue

Transgender and nonbinary patients deserve screening recommendations built on evidence that reflects their experiences.
This #PrideMonth, learn how breast radiologists can start closing the gap.

A Canadian study challenges the assumption that more treatment is better - finding just one dose of an anti cancer therapy, for some breast cancer patients, may work as well as - with fewer side-effects. @OttawaHospital @CTVNews

Congratulations, @drDavidKeegan!
Chair of the newly formed National Advisory Committee on Preventive Health Services.
We look forward to seeing progress in Canadian healthcare guidelines.

This is fantastic news! Under @drDavidKeegan leadership, I am confident the NACPHS will help millions of Canadians.
I hope the first order of business is to redo the breast screening guidelines that were vehemently rejected by experts and patients.
The Government of Canada announced a new National Advisory Committee to support preventive health care in Canada. Learn more:

For 9 years, DBC has advocated for reforms to how preventive health guidelines are developed in 🇨🇦. We welcome the launch of NACPHS. We're hopeful it will help deliver evidence-based guidance that improves long-term health outcomes and reduces pressure on our healthcare system.

Today, on National Cancer Survivors Day, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and courage of the millions of cancer survivors across 🇨🇦. DBC remains committed to helping ensure every breast cancer survivor receives the follow-up care and surveillance they deserve.
