A "normal" mammogram interpreted by AI can accurately forecast high-risk of breast cancer in the next 5 years. Approved by FDA, now becoming available. But it should be free and part of every mammogram readout.

17% of women 60+ had increasing breast density over 10 years — not decreasing.
HRT, family history, later menopause all played a role. Density stays dynamic, and so should screening conversations.
Read more in this week's Research Roundup.

👀More data to suggest that breast surgery may be considered 🤔 in selected patients!?! Excited 🤩 for more prospective data in these populations with limited #metastaticbreastcancer ! Not all stage IV is the same, need to tailor recs accordingly! 🤝 @DukeSurgOnc @DukeCancer
Among patients with single-site de novo metastatic #BreastCancer, breast primary resection with or without locally ablative therapy was associated with improved overall survival, while ablative therapy at the metastatic site alone was not.

A review of the new trial results (below) along with all the other evidence and conclude it's time to move to AI-support for all mammography (with no cost to patients) erictopol.substack.com/p/why…
The largest randomized trial of medical A.I.
—Over 100,000 women in Sweden
—radiologist + AI vs 2 radiologists, in follow-up
—AI added led to 29% more cancer detected, 44% reduced workload, and
—Less cancer dx in subsequent 2 years, and, when found, less aggressive

Tamoxifen in the absence of definitive surgery for low risk DCIS was associated with an unacceptably high risk of invasive breast cancer 10% at 5 years exceeding planned limit of risk. Bottom line: DCIS still warrants surgery

CONDOLANCES to my colleagues and the patients in the Edmonton Area.
They seem to be breaking overcrowding records everyday in Edmonton.
Last night the RAH ED had over 100 (ONE HUNDRED!) pts waiting in its waiting room.
Just try to imagine that...

The first new adjuvant endocrine treatment to improve outcomes for breast cancer in decades. Tucatinib improving outcomes in the first line HER2+ setting. First phase 3 data with SG in chemo-naive pts with HR+ MBC. And so much more. See you in a few days in San Antonio! #SABCS25

Thanks @ElleCanada for covering this. Breast cancer is increasing in younger women. All women in Canada will soon be able to self refer starting in their 40s, ideally starting at 40. A new lump in a woman of any age should be investigated.

For years, women were told to wait until 50 for their first #mammogram. The evidence says otherwise. Screening from age 40 has been proven to save lives & the “50 rule"" came from bad math — not biology.

🎉Thank you to all our amazing speakers & attendees for making this year’s ASM a success!
We explored the expanding role of CEM in breast imaging, and your participation brought it to life.
Recordings & certificates coming next week in the OAR portal.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Terrific work by @cbcwhitecoat was so important to this victory. Thank you @NightShiftMD
For years, @cbcwhitecoat was ahead of the curve in calling for an updated approach to #breastcancer screening guidelines. We were right.

Thank you @Dx_imaging for highlighting our research that complements the recent BRAID trial results for screening CEM in the UK. Cancer detection from CEM of 10/1000 even after tomosynthesis. @EUSOBIyc @BreastImaging @NCCN guidelines evolving.
Can Contrast-Enhanced #Mammography be a Viable Screening Alternative to Breast #MRI?
