High risk early breast cancer patients in Quebec left behind by recent INESSS recommendation
3 December 2025 - Quebec has the highest rate of breast cancer in Canada. The Government of Quebec recently endorsed lowering the breast cancer screening age for women, reflecting the province’s commitment to earlier diagnosis and improving outcomes.
Novartis Canada is deeply disappointed by the recent Institut national d’excellence en santé et en services sociaux (INESSS) recommendation to limit the patient population with early breast cancer that is eligible for access to Kisqali (ribociclib tablets).
