The Province Widens Breast Cancer Screening Age Group

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among New Brunswick women....and the province is hoping to help women detect it by broadening the suggested age range for screening.

Women ages 50-74 are encouraged to get screened....previously, screening was only recommended for women ages 50-69. 

550 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in the province in 2012.
