THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY AND REGULAR CANCER SCREENING

Libby Znaimer is joined by Toronto City Councilor Jaye Robinson (Ward 15 Don Valley West), Dr. Eileen Rakovitch, Radiation oncologist and head of our breast site group at Sunnybrook and Dr. Martin Yaffe, Breast Cancer researcher at Sunnybrook Research Institute, and The Ontario Institute for Cancer Research.

In the news: this week, Toronto Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Eileen de Villa, announced that she would be taking a leave of absence after she undertook a routine screening mammogram whereby pre-cancerous cells were identified. She is undergoing surgery for it today. This is what she had to say about it: “My story is not unique. Women throughout Toronto receive news like this every day. My message to Torontonians is simply this: please do take the time to participate in screening programs, as recommended. I am grateful that I took the time to get screened as it has allowed me to have early detection and treatment.” Toronto City Councilor Jaye Robinson shares her story of fighting breast cancer and the doctors detail the importance of early and regular screening appointments even during COVID-19 which has been known to cause a backlog in medical appointments across the spectrum.
