Ontario 'exploring' beginning breast screening at age 40 : c

Just days after a U.S. task force recommended breast cancer screening begin at age 40, the Ontario government says it is looking at a similar move.

“The Ministry of Health is currently exploring a similar change regarding breast cancer screening,” said Hannah Jensen, spokesperson for Ontario’s Health Minister Sylvia Jones. She was responding to a question about the closely watched recommendations from the United States Preventative Services Taskforce.
