Patients who are eligible for the average risk Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) , do not need a referral from a physician for scheduling a screening mammogram. Patients may contact the Marvelle Koffler Breast Centre directly to make their appointment. 

Women ages 30 to 69 can get screened through the High Risk OBSP if they have a referral from their doctor,  a valid Ontario Health Insurance Plan number, no acute breast symptoms, and fall into one of the following risk categories:

  • Known to have a gene mutation that increases your risk for breast cancer (e.g. BRCA1, BRCA2, TP53, PTEN, CDH1)
  • First-degree relatives of someone who has a gene mutation that increases their risk for breast cancer (e.g. BRCA1, BRCA2, TP53, PTEN, CDH1), have already had genetic counselling and have chosen not to have genetic testing
  • Assessed at a genetics clinic (using the IBIS or BOADICEA tools) as having a 25% or greater lifetime risk of breast cancer based on personal and family history
  • Have had radiation therapy to the chest to treat another cancer or condition (e.g. Hodgkin Lymphoma) before age 30 and at least 8 years ago
