I asked my plumber to do my colonoscopy. He refused - said "I'm not qualified". I jest - Yet Canadian Task Force on Preventing Health Care is populated by those without knowledge or expertise in breast cancer screening. Its recommendations will lead to more deaths and suffering.

Evidence based medicine is not restricted to randomised trials and meta-analyses. It involves tracking down the best external evidence with which to answer our clinical questions Dr. David Sackett, father of evidence based medicine Editorial BMJ 1996;312:71-72 (13 Jan)

CBC giving Can. Task Force airtime without rebuttal to spread incorrect info is irresponsible and dangerous. Where is objective journalism?

Hooray for densebreastscanada who are petitioning Canadian Minister. of Health to reject and revise misleading Can Task Force Guidelines on Breast Screening. Please read and consider signing petition at goo.gl/hDL39A

Better outcomes? Here's how: 1) Screening that is able to reduce incidence of advanced cancers by earlier detection is strongly associated with mortality reduction. 2) Breast ultrasound, MRI, contrast-enhanced dig mammography find cancers in dense breasts missed by mammography

Very poor judgement by CTFPHC | GECSSP in posting biased anti-screening video. See my critique at goo.gl/np7wLe Carly Weeks thinks this is a balanced presentation! - she needs to do some homework (I'd be glad to give her reading list). CTF has let Canadians down.

It's time to respond to CTFPHC | GECSSP Canadians deserve better guidance on breast cancer screening! My concerns are described in open letter to Task Force at goo.gl/4i8UBt Sorry it's so long. Let them know what you think.

Instead of endorsing (or even worse, following) dangerous Canadian Task Force Recs. on Breast Screening, Physicians should follow the lead of our Federal Health Minister, Ginette Petipas Taylor, who in Parliament distanced herself from the Task Force. A good first step.

Minister Petipas Taylor distancing herself from dangerous Task Force Recs good first step. Now she must step up and revamp dysfunctional TF.

Regular mammography screening saves lives for women 40 and older, but is less accurate in dense breasts. Density also a risk factor for br cancer. Based on my old 1980s research w Dr. N Boyd, Ontario only tells women when their density is over 75%. This is antiquated ....

Women have a right to know if they have low, mid, or high density breasts, so they can know if their mammogram is reliable - take charge of their health and discuss w health provider. Consider ultrasound if they have very dense breasts. Ontario policy out of date!

It's truly outrageous that given the flawed breast screening guidelines by CTFPHC | GECSSP and the outcry from 65,000 concerned individuals, Minister Petitpas Taylor and Dr Theresa Tam haven't acted yet to review its governance, claiming "arms length". This is their responsibility!

Virus responsible for disabling moral centre of the brain? - Epstein-Barr

Modern definitions: Epstein-Barr - A virus responsible for disabling moral centre of the brain

Methinks CTFPHC | GECSSP doth protest too much. Instead of self-congratulatory tweeting, they should do their homework, read the modern science and replace their dangerous breast screening guidelines that will harm women.

Here's a clear,sensible article on mammography screening from a doctor who has walked the walk. clinicalimaging.org/article/S0899-…

Why is @Cantaskforce member Scott Klarenbach propagating inaccurate information to Family Doctors on breast cancer screening? He is undermining a lifesaving tool where benefits>>> harms. Political agenda or just his lack of knowledge? Either way, dangerous to our health!

Breast screening stopped during COVID. A reasonable move. Now it urgently must be re-started. Health authorities should spread the word! Learn more... docs.google.com/document/d/1XX…

Agree completely. But there's so much more to do. Start by removing barriers for women in their 40s to get screened. Save more lives and reduce suffering. Open Ontario breast screening to women in their 40s now.
