Sunday House Call, #900, November 5, 2023: Breast Cancer Screening now extended to include women over 40 years of age. My friend and colleague Dr. David Jacobs (@DrJacobsRad), President of the Ontario Association of Radiologists, reviews the evidence that led to this change for the better.

New breast screening guidelines have been established in Ontario. Dr Jacobs provided a plethora of information about what it means for women who now can have breast cancer screening ten years at 40 instead of 50 years of age.
