Mammography & OBSP
A mammogram is a low dose X-ray screening that plays an essential role in the early detection of breast cancer. These screenings detect breast cancers when they are small, less likely to have metastasized to the lymph nodes, and more likely to be successfully treated with surgery and without chemotherapy.
The OBSP (Ontario Breast Screening Program) is a province-wide program that provides OHIP-covered breast screening mammography services at more than 200 health facilities accredited by the Canadian Association of Radiologists, including WELL Health Diagnostic Centres.
The OBSP recommends a breast screening every two years for women ages 40-74 who are at average risk for breast cancer and have:
- No acute breast symptoms.
- No personal history of breast cancer.
- Not had a mammogram within the past 11 months.
