Grateful to Fairchild TV News for helping educate Asian women about the importance of mammography screening starting 40, and supplemental screening for women with breasts. Asian women tend to get breast cancer younger than white women, and they’re more likely to have dense breasts.

Great chat with Survivor Network CA and Jennie Dale detailing how densebreastscanada got going, and all the improvements to breast screening in Canada they've achieved. Still loads of inequities between provinces and policies to change across the board. Onward! open.spotify.com/episode/7pVtqQ…

Join us at #SBI2025 for Keynote Speaker DBI’s JoAnn Pushkin, with Dr. Paula Gordon, Dr Georgia Spear, and others, for Keynote Advocacy Session: The Changes We Fought for and the Patients Who Benefitted (April 24th at 11:10am). i.snoball.it/p/IcD1/

In 🇨🇦 that voice is Jennie Dale from densebreastscanada. We don’t legislate change like in 🇺🇸, but thanks to her, most women in Canada can now self refer for mammograms starting at 40, and most are told their breast density in their report. Lots more work to do!

We’re finding large numbers of invasive cancers using ultrasound in women with negative mammograms with dense breasts. The vast majority are in women in category c who have no family history. And most are node-negative pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39982450/

I’m so sorry you have to go through more aggressive therapy, than if you’d been diagnosed at an earlier stage. Your voice matters, and it’s generous of you to have shared your story. Hopefully other women will self-advocate after hearing it.

Required reading for academics and philanthropists. University of Toronto is scandalously burying the fact that the study they endorsed was flawed. By not retracting their approval, they continue to contribute to avoidable deaths around the world. retractionwatch.com/2025/04/28/gue…

This is one of the fallouts from CTFPHC | GECSSP recommending no breast cancer screening till age 50. Primary care doctors are led to believe that younger women don’t get breast cancer and then this happens. ctvnews.ca/health/article…

Unlike MRI, ultrasound is inexpensive, but there aren’t enough technologists. We are finding more than double the cancers in 🇨🇦 with ultrasound than in 🇺🇸 because we screen less often, and with only 2D mammograms. It should be offered by more clinics. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39982450/

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.

BreastScreen Australia will now notify women of their breast density after routine mammograms! Huge win for transparency & patient advocacy. Position Statement: health.gov.au/resources/publ… #DenseBreasts #BreastCancerAwareness

Sadly, current Cdn breast screening guidelines do not recognize racial disparities. CTFPHC | GECSSP recommendation to screen at 50 follows one size fits all. Thankfully Cdn provinces have acted on their own to lower the screening age!

For those who don’t know, BAC stands for breast arterial calcification, and that can be a sign of early coronary artery disease. And it’s a freebie since women have mammograms. Heart disease kills more women than breast cancer, so it’s worthwhile knowing!

Good news for Canadians. The existing guidelines from CTFPHC | GECSSP have lead to avoidable deaths and suffering, from breast and other cancers, and many other health conditions. responsiblehealthcareguidelines.ca This is a good start. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Ontario started allowing self referral at age 40 in October last year, but so far only 14% of eligible women age 40 to 49 are attending. Hopefully that will increase. And hopefully they will increase resources to allow access to all eligible women.

🎉Thank you to all our amazing speakers & attendees for making this year’s ASM a success! We explored the expanding role of CEM in breast imaging, and your participation brought it to life. Recordings & certificates coming next week in the OAR portal. #BreastImaging #Radiology
