Did you know women ages 40-74 can SELF-REFER for breast screenings?

Your risk for breast cancer increases as you age. In fact, approximately 80% of women diagnosed with breast cancer are over the age of 45.

That’s why the OBSP (Ontario Breast Screening Program) recommends women ages 40-74 who are at average risk for breast cancer refer themselves for OHIP-covered screening every two years.

Average risk for breast cancer includes:

• No acute breast symptoms.
• No personal history of breast cancer.
• Not had a mammogram within the past 11 months.

The OBSP also recommends an annual screening for women ages 30-69 who are confirmed by their doctor or nurse practitioner to be at high risk for breast cancer.

Early detection saves lives!

Did you know WELL Health are the FIRST diagnostic centres to use Artificial Intelligence to detect breast cancer?

Early detection of breast cancer is important for better outcomes and treatment options. That’s why our team of diagnostic radiologists use SecondRead AI™ after their initial review to support their professional analysis of your screening (non-symptomatic) mammograms.

This AI technology provides an additional examination of your mammography images, pixel by pixel, to determine any suspicious areas that may be too small for human eyes to identify.
