US EditionBreast Cancer Screening In Women's 40s Can Save Lives, Study Says
- In 2016, a study at The Ottawa Hospital followed 821 women aged 40 and above who had been diagnosed with breast cancer to evaluate how their cancers were detected and the associated outcomes.
- This research followed rising debate as the U.S. And Canada reassessed breast cancer screening ages, with guidelines differing between 40 and 50 years for starting regular mammograms.
- The study found 50% of breast cancers were diagnosed due to symptoms rather than early screening, with symptomatic patients 6.6 times likelier to have advanced cancer and 2.2 times likelier to need mastectomy.
- Dr. Jean Seely noted that individuals diagnosed with breast cancer after experiencing symptoms faced a 63% greater risk of mortality compared to those whose cancers were identified through screening.
- The findings suggest lowering screening age to the early 40s could save lives by detecting cancers earlier and reducing advanced disease and mortality rates in both Canada and the U.S.
