Episode description

In this episode, we dive into the WISDOM Study—a groundbreaking randomized clinical trial designed to compare personalized breast cancer screening with conventional approaches. The goal? To determine if a tailored approach can help prevent advanced breast cancer (stage IIB or higher).

The study is enrolling 100,000 women ages 30-74 across the United States. Joining me are Steffanie Goodman, who leads marketing and communications for WISDOM, and Allison Fiscalini, a study co-investigator. Together, we cover everything you need to know about WISDOM: study logistics, eligibility criteria, costs, data privacy, benefits of participation, the genetic study component, and more!
