include a change in size or shape of the breast, dimpling on the breast itself, discharge from the nipples, a rash around the nipples or swelling in the armpits.

As for how Canadians feel about critical diagnoses, the poll’s findings showed that we have faith in the medical system. Seventy-four per cent of respondents said they trust health-care professionals to identify, diagnose and treat cancer, while 68 per cent also feel their doctors are informed on the best or latest treatment information.

Canadian guidelines for screening for breast cancer were changed in 2011, recommending against screening women aged 40 to 49. From 2010 to 2017, there was a 13.6 decrease in diagnoses of stage 1 breast cancer and a 12.6 increase in stage 2 for women in their 40s, according to the study. The incidence of stage 2 breast cancer also rose by 3.1 per cent for women in their 50s.

The Canadian Breast Cancer Network and Canadian Cancer Society did not respond to requests for reactions to the poll results by the time this article was posted.
