As the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care prepares to release its anticipated updated guidelines on breast cancer screening, University of Ottawa researchers are sounding an alarm: Breast cancer cases in young Canadian women, especially women in their 20s, have risen by as much as 45.5% in recent years.also highlighted an increase in cases among women in their 30s and 40s by as much as 12.5% and 9.1%, respectively.
For women in their 30s, annual rates increased by 1.25% from 2009 onward. For women in their 40s, an increase of 0.26% was observed between 1984 and 2019; in women between ages 40 and 44 years, the increase was 0.19%. Rates in women aged 50-54 years were not as dramatic; they appeared to decline significantly between 1999 and 2005 but rose in 2005 and 2015, likely because of inconsistent screening recommendations for women in their 40s during those years, according to the researchers.
