Why Get Screened?

About 1 in 9 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. 1 in 28 women is expected to die from the disease. Regular screening mammograms (breast x-rays) can find breast cancer early, usually before it has spread. Make it part of your regular health routine- every 2 years.

Research has shown a 25% reduction in deaths amongst women who screen regularly.

CR Effectiveness Study

A recent study reported digital computed radiography (CR) technology to be less effective at detecting breast cancer than digital direct radiography and screen film mammography. In BC, there is one SMP centre using CR technology. At this time, there is nothing to indicate a difference in quality of screens for women who have attended that location or a need for re-screening.
