'The Canadian Cancer Society pulled its endorsement from the CTFPHC | GECSSP website in December 2022, saying it hadn’t acted quickly enough to review and update its breast cancer screening guidelines to consider including women between 40 & 50.' This says it all! t.ly/vENDi

Thank you for a balanced article. Nicole Ireland

CTFPHC | GECSSP guidelines are not led by content experts and are unaccountable.

Experts have moved on from the ancient evidence and management practices used by CTF to develop guidelines. Time to move on from the Task Force.

It was an honour to be in the room when The Lancet Breast Cancer Commission was being presented today - and to be surrounded by so many female professors, academics, doctors and researchers, who were all led by the incredible Professor Charlotte Coles.

We have lots to do to…

“The Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care develops rigorous, evidence-based preventive health care guidelines based on the principles of impartiality, collaboration, and inclusivity.”… Yet, it’s already made its mind up. See picture and article link in 🧵👇

And that’s just breast cancer. Even more lives lost because of the guidelines for other cancers, and other health concerns.

Dr Fred Saad says update of Task Force guidelines for #prostatecancer is needed. #cdnpoli #cancer

Dr Paul Wheatley-Price is a #lungcancer specialist who sees to many patients diagnosed too late. “We would like the Task Force to update their recommendations.” #cdnpoli

Dr Paul Wheatley-Price of ⁦Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa⁩ underscores the devastating impact of #lungcancer on Inuit. He has been pushing for earlier and more thorough screening for years. #cdnpoli #healthpolicy

'This Spring, CTFPHC | GECSSP is supposed to release updated guidelines. But I’m very concerned that, once again as in 2011 and 2018, the process will be biased against early cancer detection and lives will continue to be lost - as many as 700 each year.' Dr. Martin Yaffe #cdnpoli

#cdnpoli #cancer #healthpolicy Cdns deserve better. Let’s get the Task Forcecwe need for Canadian health.

⁦Shiela Appavoo MD⁩ underscored the inequity created by outdated ⁦CTFPHC | GECSSP⁩ guidelines. Black, #SouthAsian , #Indigenous and other racialized women tend to get #breastcancer in their 40s. But Cdn guidelines don’t recommend screening until age 50. #unfair

In #Ottawa , eminent doctors from a wide range of cancer specialties speak out about failures of the Canadian Task Force for Preventive Health Care. #cancer #cdnpoli
