Today begins a new era to a better, smarter way for women of the world to be screened for breast cancer. Know you risk, reduce your risk and build prevention into the system. Those at high risk get more surveillance. Isn’t it about time we start saving more lives! #BCSM
A large national trial of about 46,000 women, 40 to 74 years old, found that screening women according to their level of risk was as effective in detecting tumors as the one-size-fits-most screening currently recommended.

Wow, the important results of the large #JoinWISDOM study about breast cancer screening in America were just presented at #SABCS by Laura Esserman, MD and they showed that personalized, risk-based screening is a better way to screen than the way we do it now. Let’s do this! #BCSM

How the U.S. health care system fails cancer patients like former MTV VJ Ananda Lewis
Ananda Lewis should still be alive. She had access. She had options. What she didn’t have was trust in the system that could have saved her, writes an oncologist.
