Screening for breast cancer can detect cancers at an earlier and more treatable stage. Mammography is an X-ray of the breast and can be done at either the Queen Elizabeth Hospital or Prince County Hospital. If you are at average risk and over 40 years of age, check out the following website: https://www.princeedwardisland.ca/en/information/health-pei/pei-breast-screening-program.
If you are considered higher risk (family history of breast cancer, have had radiation to the chest prior to age 30 or have a gene mutation such as BRCA1 or BRCA2) talk to your primary care provider about what screening is right for you or contact the UPEI Health & Wellness Centre at 902-566-0616.
