Time to revolutionize breast cancer screening through personalized risk assessment and genetic testing
In the latest episode of Menopause Rescue, Dr. Polly Watson dives into groundbreaking developments in breast cancer screening with Dr. Tamandra Morgan and Allison Fiscalini from the WISDOM Study. Together, they explore how the traditional “one-size-fits-all” mammogram screening model could soon be a thing of the past.
“Close to 70% of participants did not have a first-degree relative with cancer.“
This episode reveals how the WISDOM Study is revolutionizing breast cancer prevention by incorporating personalized risk assessments. By analyzing factors like age, family history, genetic predispositions, and breast density, the study aims to create customized screening plans tailored to each woman’s unique risk level. The guests discuss the significance of genetic testing, its implications for early detection, and how these tools empower women to make informed decisions about their health.

Meet the Guest Speaker!
The WISDOM Study brings together 100,000 diverse women from across the US to find the safest and most effective way to detect breast cancer for every woman.
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.
Close to 70% of participants did not have a first-degree relative with cancer but were found to be carriers of a mutation.
