Could I speak to the education of family doctors?
I would just like to make it clear that the task force is a venerable institution, and there is an institutional bias that is created. I was the chair of the cancer care committee for the College of Family Physicians. I approached the college to ask if I could do some education for family doctors on breast cancer risk for women in their forties, after completing our research. I was told that I could not do that, because it was not in line with what the guidelines were saying.
I submitted a commentary to Canadian Family Physician about this research and impacts, again, to educate family physicians. This commentary was not even sent for peer review, and I've had many articles published with them. Because what I'm saying is different from what the guidelines are quoting, it's not something that can be put out there to educate family doctors.
