The Future of Breast Cancer Screening: Insights from the WISDOM Study

Quotes

  • "Close to 70% of participants did not have a first-degree relative with cancer but were found to be carriers of a mutation. These are individuals who may not have been tested under traditional guidelines." - Dr. Tamandra Morgan
  • "We’re moving beyond the 'one-size-fits-all' approach by incorporating factors like age, family history, breast density, BMI, menopausal status, and genetic testing into personalized screenings." - Allison Fiscalini
  • "This study isn’t just about helping yourself. It’s about contributing to research that will change guidelines, improve practices, and bring breast cancer prevention into the 21st century." - Allison Fiscalini
