Breast cancer is not one disease, but multiple. New study finds that those with certain forms of DCIS may be able to have less treatment. Read more about these new findings in Time Magazine (article linked in LinkTree). WISDOM is aiming to personalize screening and prevention. Join WISDOM today to help us understand the varying risk of breast cancer in women- our study is open to women aged 30+.

Join Dr. Stacy Wentworth as she dives into the story of traditional breast screening - how we got there - why we can do better, and what Dr. Laura Esserman is trying to accomplish with the WISDOM Study (i.e. preventing aggressive cancers before they start, helping women learn their risk for breast cancer, and personalizing the prevention and screening journey for women based on their individual risk... no big deal, right?). Take a listen to this bonus podcast episode on Less Radical- search for it in your favorite podcast app like Spotify or Apple Music, or go to the link in our bio!
