Le d\u00e9pistage peut sauver des vies en rendant possible la d\u00e9tection pr\u00e9coce du cancer du sein et en r\u00e9duisant la fr\u00e9quence des traitements agressifs et invasifs. Cependant, des lacunes existent toujours entre les indications canadiennes sur le d\u00e9pistage du cancer du sein, les pratiques de d\u00e9pistage dans les provinces, et les derni\u00e8res recherches des experts. Par cons\u00e9quent, les femmes sont mal inform\u00e9es et n\u2019ont pas acc\u00e8s au meilleur d\u00e9pistage possible.<\/p>\n

Screening in the 40s can be lifesaving. As of Feb. 2025, six provinces allow women to self-refer for a mammogram at 40: BC, PEI, YT, NS, ON, NB.<\/p>\n

In AB and NWT, you can self-refer at 45 or after your first screening, ages 40-45.<\/p>\n

NL will start self-referral in March 2025.<\/p>\n

SK lowered age to 47 in Jan 2025 and will be at 40 in 2026. MB will lower the age to 45 in Dec 2025 and 40 in Dec 2026. Quebec is under review.<\/p>\n

All women are directly informed of their breast density in their results letter in: BC, NS, AB, MB, PEI, NB, YT, NWT and ON. NL will begin in 2025. In SK and QC, the density category can be found in the patient’s online health portal.<\/p>\n

Only seven provinces ask women with the highest category of density to return for a mammogram every year instead of every two years: ON, PEI, NL, SK, NWT, NS, and YT.<\/p>\n\t
