Breast cancer advocates say technologist shortage to blame for NS stance on supplemental screening
Description

While Nova Scotia’s breast cancer screening program ranks high when compared to other provinces, patients and survivors want to see new technology used to bridge the gap for those with category C and D density. But as Ella Macdonald reports, a lack of technicians may pose an obstacle.
