The Wisdom Study is determined to identify the safest and best way to detect breast cancer.

The WISDOM Study compares two approved screening approaches: annual mammograms for all women, starting at the age of 40 or a personalized approach to breast screening that is based on a woman’s individual risk factors for breast cancer, like her breast density, genes, and family health history.

Today we speak with Dr. Barbara Parker, one of the lead oncologists in the study along with Heather Mann, one of the study's participants as we discuss:

-Personalized breast cancer screening modalities
-High Risk
-Low Risk
-Breast Density
-Early Detection
-Genetic panels

And so much more!
