Significant decline in mammograms

To The Haldimand Press

HALDIMAND—The Regional Cancer Program at Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS), which oversees the quality and delivery of cancer services for an area including Haldimand, has observed a significant decrease in cancer screening tests over the last year and a half – including mammograms. Experts believe this drop has led to a more concerning statistic – an increase in undiagnosed and untreated breast cancer cases in the region.
