History
Dr. Cornelia Baines and Dr. Anthony Miller led the National Breast Screening Study (NBSS), a randomized controlled trial aimed at evaluating the role and impact of screening mammography and physical examination in reducing mortality from breast cancer for women aged 40-49. The study also aimed to determine whether mammography provides additional benefit beyond routine physical breast examinations for women aged 50–59. This study, which involved the participation of nearly 90,000 women across Canada, influenced public policy around the implementation of breast cancer screening programs in Canada and abroad.
