Just think about how many people are affected by their work? It’s mind boggling! Yet, it has an anti-screening bias!

Don’t take my word for it. Listen to my short video t/ includes the Chair of t/ Task Force talking about screening in general. Link 👇🧵⅔ #ScreenBetterCanada

These guidelines are for women at “average risk.“ Women with a first degree family history and women with dense breasts should have mammograms every year. Depending on your risk, you may need to start before age 40. Calculate your risk at ibis-risk-calculator.magview.com

It is unlikely that CTFPHC | GECSSP will be influenced. Their leadership has made their bias clear in mainstream and social media, and lectures to The College of Family Physicians of Canada that they will not lower the screening age, even though it would save lives, save money, and improve quality of life.

Grateful that you have taken a science- based leadership role. Health Canada and PHAC should consider adopting your guidelines instead of those from CTFPHC | GECSSP that exclude current evidence

Waiting for CTFPHC | GECSSP 🇨🇦guidelines, but 🤞on screening by self-referral starting 40 till age 80 for the rest of 🇨🇦, and supplemental screening for all women with Density Categories C and D. Ideally DBT for all, +MRI/CEM for D, and US/MRI/CEM for C. (a girl can hope...)

How will 🇨🇦 respond to the increase in breast cancer cases in younger women? Rising incidence was a key factor in the US decision to lower the screening age to 40. What do you say CTFPHC | GECSSP? Thank you Jean Seely, MD CTV News for this insightful segment. ctvnews.ca/video/c2911627…

Another wonderful research paper by Jean Seely, MD Anna Wilkinson and others. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

Congratulations on great review article on pre-op MRI Jean Seely, MD Supriya Kulkarni. Reduced contralateral metachronous cancer due to early detection. Reduced reoperation by 70% with ILC Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance. Society of Breast Imaging. DenseBreast-Info.org

Thank you to Anna Wilkinson for the marathon of interviews she did yesterday, getting the message out there that the CTFPHC | GECSSP guidance needs an overhaul for the safety of our patients.

This is so much bigger than “just” breast cancer.
