Ontario has announced it will lower the eligibility age for routine mammograms from age 50 to 40 beginning next fall in a bid to detect and treat breast cancer at an earlier stage.
Health Minister Sylvia Jones said the upcoming expansion means an additional 130,000 mammograms will be completed in the province annually.
