Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women of all ages, but the leading cause for women between the ages of 30 and 49. Early screening of breast cancer and early diagnosis following an abnormal screening result are essential to improve prognosis and increase chances of survival. Unfortunately, Quebec ranks among the lowest in Canada in terms of diagnostic times.
On October 22 at McGill University, Erin Strumpf, Professor at McGill University and CIRANO Fellow, and Tiffanie Perrault (Grand Valley State University) will present the analysis and conclusions of their study “Improving breast cancer diagnosis in Quebec”. They argue that, in the pursuit of improving breast cancer diagnosis and care, Quebec can and must do better by strengthening its commitment to innovative policies and developing methods to collect data that are comprehensive, standardized, up-to-date and accessible. Cédric Baudinet of the Fondation cancer sein du Québec, Dr. Jean Latreille of the Direction québécoise du cancer at the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux and Annie Slight of Dense Breasts Canada will join the discussion. The discussion will be moderated by Roxane Borgès Da Silva (Université de Montréal, CReSP, CIRANO). Information and registration
