Description: The Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care (CTFPHC) requires its guidelines to be updated every 5 years. The objectives of this evidence report were to synthesize up-to-date evidence on the benefits and harms of breast cancer screening. To ensure the evidence needs of the CTFPHC were met in a timely manner, we used a modified overview of systematic reviews approach with an incorporated updated search for more recent primary studies. The findings will be used by the CTFPHC, along with additional considerations of feasibility, acceptability, affordability, and equity, to change or reaffirm their previous recommendations. This report and the supporting documents, along with the previous 2011 guideline are available on the CTFPHC website (https://canadiantaskforce.ca/).
