NATIONAL DENIM DAY
Proudly sponsored by DYNAMITE
Tuesday May 10, 2022
Entering the 3rd year of the pandemic,
cancer has fallen into the blind spot of the health network
You Can Help!
For the past 25 years, on National Denim Day, we invite all Canadians to join a national movement in support of the fight against breast cancer.
OUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED MORE THAN EVER.
HELP FUND LIFE-SAVING EQUIPMENT
Doctors are bracing for an unprecedented spike in breast cancer diagnoses due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Help solve this crisis by funding new medical imaging equipment in hospitals across Canada.
COVID-19 HAS CREATED A
CANCER SCREENING CRISIS
THAT WILL TAKE YEARS TO OVERCOME
DELAYED DIAGNOSES
INCREASED RISK OF DEATH
URGENT NEED FOR EQUIPMENT
In 2020, cancer screening was paused due to COVID-19.
The health system is bracing for a tsunami of later stage diagnoses.
For every month of delay, the risk of dying increases on average by 10%.
We must invest in new medical equipment to deal with the pandemic ripple effect.
EARLY DIAGNOSIS
SAVES LIVES.
BENEFITS OF 3D MAMMOGRAPHY
- IMPROVED DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY
- DETECTS SMALLER TUMORS
- PROVIDES CLEARER IMAGES OF ABNORMALITIES
- REDUCES THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL SCREENING

The Moncton Hospital hopes to secure $1.1 MILLION to be invested into two 3D Mammography Screening Units for the hospital’s Katherine Wright Centre to help with the early detection of breast cancer. This upgrade will allow us to transition from a conventional Digital Mammogram (2D image) to Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (3D image) technology.

When you are hit with the news that you have a lump in your breast, you want to have it checked right away. Finding a place to have a mammogram rapidly is not always easy, but I heard about the Queen Elizabeth Health Complex (QEHC) and its Breast Cancer Detection Centre. My gratitude to the QEHC’s Breast Health Center is boundless. The QEHC Breast Health Clinic is one of few clinics that operates a 3-D tomosynthesis software. This advanced form of breast imaging uses a low-dose x-ray to create 3-D images which are key in the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. If it had not been for the amazing 3-D mammography technology they use, my cancer would have gone undetected.
