Thank you.
In an article in Le Devoir from May 30, 2024, the chair of the Canadian working group explains the difference between the recommendations of her group and those of her American counterpart, including the fact that the Canadian working group reviewed 82 studies on patient values and preferences.
To quote Dr. Thériault: “The majority of women in their 40s in these studies, when presented a scenario in line with our numbers (deaths prevented, the number of additional scans, etc.), do not want to be screened”. I find that rather surprising.
Do you think it is normal for value and preference studies to prevail when women's lives are at stake?
