Breast cancer patients seeing reduced wait time for treatment: AHS

The amount of time breast cancer patients have to wait for a referral to a program after the discovery of a highly suspicious cancer has dropped by more than 60 per cent in Calgary and over 30 per cent in Edmonton in two years, AHS said Wednesday.
Those numbers, as well as the fact the same-day mastectomies in the province has risen from 22 per cent to 41 per cent in the same period, is being attributed to the health service’s breast health initiative and same-day mastectomy pathways.
