\nA Defining Moment to Improve Breast Cancer Screening<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

<\/a>
<\/a><\/p>\n

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Breast Cancer Canada welcomes today\u2019s announcement made by the Honourable Mark Holland, Minister of Health, to temporarily pause the work of the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care. This decision marks a critical opportunity to ensure that further recommendations, including breast cancer screening guidelines, are rooted in the latest evidence-based research and expertise from specialists in the field.\n<\/p>\n

\nBreast Cancer Canada continues to be at the forefront of advocating for evidence-based policy that prioritizes early detection and improved outcomes for breast cancer patients. The Task Force\u2019s past recommendations, including its decision to keep the screening age at 50, have raised significant concerns among experts, advocates, and Canadians affected by breast cancer.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cToday\u2019s announcement is a positive step toward ensuring that breast cancer screening guidelines reflect the best available science and expertise,\u201d said Kimberly Carson, CEO of Breast Cancer Canada. “BCC anticipates the expert panel\u2019s forthcoming recommendations and strongly advocates for a Task Force structure that prioritizes evidence-based, expert-led decision-making to improve breast cancer care in Canada.”\n<\/p>\n

\nBreast Cancer Canada remains committed to providing key insights through REAL Canadian Breast Cancer Alliance<\/a>, a coalition of leading Canadian oncologists and clinicians, whose knowledge demonstrates the urgent need for change.\n<\/p>\n

\nWith the External Expert Review panel set to release its recommendations later this month, Breast Cancer Canada urges decision-makers to implement reforms that will strengthen Canada\u2019s approach to breast cancer screening and detection. Pushing for policies that expand access to routine screenings, particularly for younger women and high-risk populations, continues to be a priority for Breast Cancer Canada.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAs breast cancer rates rise in younger populations, we must take every possible step to ensure that screening guidelines reflect the realities of patient needs,\u201d added Carson. \u201cThis pause presents a critical moment for progress, and we stand ready to support solutions that will improve breast cancer care across Canada.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
