Additional examinations to screening mammograms

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 Centre for Investigation (CRID) or a Designated Screening Centre (CDD) to make an appointment without delay.
