Note that Nunavut does not have<br />
a breast screening mammography<br />
program.<br />
It is clear from the furor aroused<br />
in the United States that the<br />
recommendations of the U.S.<br />
Preventive Services Task Force were<br />
highly controversial. According to<br />
WebMD Health <strong>News</strong> 1 , “leading<br />
medical groups…immediately<br />
announced their own guidelines had<br />
not changed. The American Cancer<br />
Society reiterated its guideline for<br />
annual screening mammography<br />
for all women beginning at age 40,”<br />
stating that it had reviewed virtually<br />
the same data and concluded that<br />
“the lifesaving benefits of screening<br />
outweigh any potential harms.’’ In<br />
addition, the American College of<br />
Obstetricians and Gynecologists<br />
(ACOG) continues to recommend<br />
regular screening mammograms<br />
every one to two years for women<br />
in their 40s, annual screening for<br />
women 50 and older, and <strong>Breast</strong><br />
Self-Examination (BSE).<br />
We encourage you to work with the<br />
<strong>Canadian</strong> <strong>Breast</strong> Cancer <strong>Network</strong> to<br />
promote mammography screening<br />
from age 40 for all women in<br />
Canada. •<br />
