Additional examinations to screening mammograms

General notice

Women aged 70 to 74 years can from now on participate in the Québec Breast Cancer Screening Program (PQDCS). To learn more, visit the Québec Breast Cancer Screening Program page.

About 10 % of women in the PQDCS have an abnormal mammogram result. When a mammogram is abnormal, additional examinations are required for more definitive results. If you have an abnormal mammogram, don't worry. In most cases, additional examinations do not reveal a cancer.

If you must have additional examinations, contact a Designated Reference Center for Investigation (CRID) or a Designated Screening Center (CDD) to make an appointment without delay.
