Thank you @drpaulagordon.bsky.social @jeanseelymd.bsky.social for this important research. Ultrasound screening significantly improves cancer detection in women with dense breasts (categories c and d). We have the technology. Let's use it. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

It was an honour to advocate with Tanja Harrison. Thank you to Aly Thomson and CBCNova Scotia for this segment looking at the tragic impact of denying supplemental screening to women with dense breasts in 🇨🇦 We have the technology, Let's use it! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
