Public Health Agency of Canada Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer and second leading cause of cancer death among women and people assigned female at birth in Canada. In 2022, an estimated 28,600 women were diagnosed with breast cancer and 5,500 died from the disease. While survival rates have been steadily increasing over the past 20 years, more can be done to improve outcomes. The Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care (the Task Force) announced in June 2023 that it was undertaking an expedited review of its 2018 breast cancer screening guideline, targeting late fall 2023 for publication of revised guidance.
