The belief that EBM is "science" is inherently incompatible with a scientific mindset. It's like flat-earthers. And EBM lacks rigour, so everything just becomes part of the game of winning at medical politics. x.com/Mark_Ungrin/st…

Quebec’s #BreastCancer screening policies are failing women. The province lags behind in adopting crucial practices that could save lives, by Jennie Dale annieslight montrealgazette.com/opinion/opinio… via Montreal Gazette densebreastscanada

The way to change outcomes is to find cancers earlier. Not only to reduce deaths, but to give women better quality of life by giving them the opportunity to avoid mastectomy, axillary dissection and chemotherapy. Mammography and supplemental screening do just that.

J-START shows that adding ultrasound to mammo increases detection of small, invasive, node-negative cancers, and reduces interval cancers. Same with MRI in the DENSE trial. Experts acknowledge that reduction of interval cancers predicts mortality reduction.

This is why CTFPHC | GECSSP requires a change in structure. Zero accountability. Great ratings published on their website, but the “TRUST” scorecards are hidden behind an ~$8K paywall. No change a month after “working on it” Mark Holland Peter Julian 🇨🇦 Ya'ara Saks יערה זקס

Breast cancer in race/ethnicities other than White has earlier age at diagnosis, higher proportion of cases diagnosed before 50 and earlier age of death. Screening starting at 50 systematically disadvantages women who are not White Jean Seely, MD Health Canada and PHAC academic.oup.com/oncolo/article…

Congratulations to DrWendieBerg, DBI Chief Scientific Advisor, who received the prestigious Silver Medal of Honor from the Austrian Medical Society to recognize her contributions to the design of the Austrian Breast Cancer Screening Program.

Further update: The scorecard summary has been removed from the CTFPHC | GECSSP web page. Thank you to the Task Force for taking this action.

Huge Congratulations to Dr. Paula Gordon DBC’s Volunteer Medical Advisor. So well-deserved! Your unwavering dedication inspires us all. Thank you for everything you’ve done—and continue to do—for women’s health.

I stand corrected. Read this.

Dr. Brian Goldman Not yet. I wish this were the case, as it is in many other countries in Europe and the USA. But we are slowly making progress. In Ontario, we now will accept supplemental screening for cat D. In BC, it is for cat C and D. We need more.

I’m proud to volunteer with densebreastscanada where there are NO salaries. It is entirely volunteer run, and all donated monies go to raising awareness.

Our new study shows starting breast screening at age 40 is not only cost effective- it is cost savings. As treatment costs rise exponentially for advanced cancers, earlier diagnosis with screening saves both lives and $ Jean Seely, MD uOttawa | Faculté de médecine, Faculty of Medicine Julie Renaud Moira Rushton, MD, MPH Canadian Society of Breast Imaging

And yet CTFPHC | GECSSP draft says that women 40-49 should not be systematically screened. How many advanced cancers, avoidable deaths and suffering justify this recommendation? Barriers should be removed for women 40-49.

With respect, the recommendations for women 40-75 cannot be treated as a single issue. The recommendation is NOT to systematically screen women 40 to 49. The recommendation IS to screen women 50-74. The rest is essentially legal waiver. canadiantaskforce.ca/guidelines/pub…
