That certainly would help. What we know is that all the provinces and territories have now updated their screening guidelines. The only two that remain are Quebec, which is looking at the evidence, and Manitoba. The problem is that these task force guidelines are adhered to by many family physicians in the country. We know that when the task force changed its recommendations in 2011, British Columbia—which, like Nova Scotia, allowed women to be screened in their forties—saw a marked decrease in the participation of women in their forties. It dropped from 50% participation to 25%.
We must have even better messaging to not adopt these guidelines, as they are adhered to by many family physicians who don't have time to follow the most up-to-date evidence.
