The document summarizes frequently asked questions about mammography screening. It addresses questions such as why mammograms begin at age 40, how often they are necessary, the likelihood of additional testing, and whether mammograms save lives. It recommends that women receive yearly mammograms starting at age 40, in agreement with major medical organizations. Mammography can detect breast cancer early and reduce mortality, and the radiation exposure is very low.

Thermal Imaging: Opportunities and Challenges for Breast Cancer Detection
Abstract:
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the world. It is estimated that one in eight women, all over the wide, would develop breast cancer during her life. Breast cancer is considered one of the first-leading causes of cancer deaths among women. The early detection of breast cancer could save many women's life. Mammogram is one of the most imaging technology used for diagnosing breast cancer. Although mammogram has recorded a high detection and classification accuracy, it is difficult in imaging dense breast tissues, its performance is poor in younger women, it is harmful, and it couldn’t detect breast tumor that less than 2 mm. To overcome these limitations, it was found that there is a relation between the temperature and the presence of breast cancer. Utilizing this fact, infrared thermography could be a good source of breast images to study and detect cancer at the early stages which is crucial for cancer patients for increasing the rate of breast cancer survival.
This talk aims to give an overview of the thermal imaging technology, its possible applications in the medical field, focusing on its opportunities and challenges for the early detection of breast cancer and highlighting the state-of-the-art of this point.

Cancer is a devastating disease causing the death of more than 8 million patients worldwide every year. However, 2/3 of all cancer cases could be prevented if all cancer prevention measures were correctly applied. This slideshow provides you with important information about how to reduce the risk of this deadly disease.
According to Dr. Vo Dang Hung, Director of TMMC Healthcare's Oncology Center. Breast Cancer is the most popular cancer among women. Know your risks and get frequent Breast Cancer Screenings to protect yourself.
About this webinar:
Breast radiologist Dr. Paula Gordon will discuss the optimal strategy for achieving early detection of breast cancer. She will also describe the flawed process used in making Canadian breast screening guidelines, impacting millions of women. Patient advocate Jennie Dale from Dense Breasts Canada will look at the inequities in breast cancer screening and surveillance practices in Canada. She will also explore ways to advocate for better screening and surveillance.
About the presenters:
Dr. Paula Gordon is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Radiology at the University of British Columbia, and has been practicing for over 35 years. She is Founding Medical Director of the Sadie Diamond Breast Program at BC Women’s Hospital, and a founding member of the Canadian Society of Breast Imaging. She’s given hundreds of lectures at meetings around the globe. She received a Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medal, and was invested in the Order of British Columbia. She was named one of Canada’s 100 Most Powerful Women by the Women’s Executive Network.
Jennie Dale is the Co-founder and Executive Director of Dense Breasts Canada (DBC). She was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2014. Inspired by the successful advocacy and education efforts of similar American organizations, Jennie co-founded DBC with Michelle Di Tomaso in 2016. They teamed up with breast cancer survivors, dedicated individuals, and health care professionals nationwide to raise awareness of the risks of dense breasts and advocate for patient notification of breast density and access to supplemental screening. She is fighting for necessary revisions to the current Canadian Task Force breast cancer screening guidelines, which put women's lives at risk. In 2021, Jennie was named a top 5 finalist in Charity Village's awards in the category of Most Outstanding Impact by a Volunteer.
Cancer and screening - A presentation by Cancer RoseCancer Rose
Cancer Rose is a French non-profit organization of health professionals.

Why begin mammograms at age 40?
- 1 in 6 breast cancers occurs in women aged 40-49.
- The 10-year risk for breast cancer in a 40 year old is 1 in 69.
- 40% of patient years of life saved by mammography are in
women aged 40-49 (not to mention the devastating effect
on the family of the loss of a young mother).
What about patients not at "high risk"?
- 75-90% of women with breast cancer have no family
history of the disease and are not considered high risk.
Why are mammograms necessary every year?
- Up to 30% of cancers are missed with biennial mammograms.
How often are patients called back for extra views?
- For every 1,000 women who have a screening mammogram at Vancouver Radiolo-
gists, 70 will be called back for another look (7%, which is lower than the national
average of 10%).
- Women with denser breast patterns are also more likely to get a recall. These women
benefit more from 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) which takes “slice” pictures of
the breasts to avoid the “overlap” of regular digital mammograms.
- For patients overall, 3D mammography significantly lowers call-back rates.
What is the likelihood of getting a biopsy at the call-back
appointment?
- Of patients called back, about 15% may have a biopsy, and 1/3 (5% of those called
back) will have cancer. In other words, of 1,000 screening mammograms, 70 women
will be called back and 4 will have cancer.

2. Is breast cancer usually fatal?
- In the U.S., 231,000 women are diagnosed yearly with breast cancer, and 40,000 die from the disease. Deaths are highest
among those who were not screened and have their cancer found at later stages.
Do mammograms save many lives?
- Yes! Mammography (in the U.S.) has helped reduce breast cancer mortality by 1/3 since 1990. Studies in Sweden show a 40%
drop.
What about the radiation?
- The dose absorbed by the body is equal to 7 weeks of exposure to natural radiation occurring all around us, to 1/20 of a CT
chest scan or to 4 chest x-rays.
- The radiation dose using tomosynthesis is the same as 2D mammography.
What does Vancouver Radiologists recommend?
- The physicians of Vancouver Radiologists agree with the American College of Radiology, the Society for Breast Imaging and the
American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology that women should receive yearly mammograms starting at age 40.

Annual mammograms can detect cancer early - when it is
most treatable. Our radiologists recommend getting
screened every year starting at the age of 40.
Wouldn’t you want peace of mind every year?
When it comes time to make your mammogram appointment,
consider 3D mammography for a sharper and clearer image.
When it comes to your breast health,
you deserve the best care possible!
