Then, we move to the ever-relevant topic of terrible Toronto traffic. And it's been a year since vehicles were banned from entering High Park, has it been beneficial?\n\n\n\nUNLESS YOU HAVE A GENE VARIANT, DOUBLE MASTECTOMY HAS NO SURVIVAL ADVANTAGE\n\nLibby Znaimer is now joined by Dr. Ellen Warner, Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto and a staff medical oncologist at the Odette Cancer Centre at Sunnybrook, and Dr. Eileen Rakovitch, Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at UofT and the Cancer Program Director of Research at Sunnybrook.\n\nA study in JAMA Oncology finds that removing the unaffected breast does not improve survival rates for breast cancer patients. Researchers analyzed data from more than 661,000 women and found that those who underwent a lumpectomy or single mastectomy had similar survival outcomes to those who opted for a double mastectomy.\xa0\n\n\n\nCANADIAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE APPEALS SIX-POINT OLYMPIC SOCCER DEDUCTION\xa0\n\nLibby Znaimer is now joined by Sean Fitzgerald, Senior National Writer at The Athletic and Wally (Walter) Rigobon, Host of the Naz and Wally Sports hour on Zoomer Radio.\n\nThe plot thickens in the drone spying scandal which led to a six point deduction for the Canadian women's Olympic soccer team and the banning of three coaches for one year each after a staffer was caught using a drone to spy on the New Zealand team's practices. Now Canada is appealing the scoring penalty on the grounds that it unfairly punishes the athletes for actions they had no part in. Meantime, the women\u2019s soccer team has pulled off two victories that put it back to zero.
