New article in @thelancet.com on global health burden from breast cancer, showing 25% of cases are attributable to modifiable risks: high red meat consumption, tobacco use, high blood sugar, high body mass index, alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity. www.auntminnie.com/print/conten...

Lancet Oncology: Global breast cancer cases could surge to 3.5M by 2050

Grateful to be invited by Texas Radiological Society and Dr. Jay Parikh to give Philip Strax, MD lecture "When is Mammography Not Enough?" Risk assessment should be performed in all women by age 25, esp. if Black, Hispanic, Asian, or Ashkenazi Jewish heritage, may need to start MRI at age 25-30.

Getting lots of "help" digging out from the snow from our rescue pups! #Snowzoomies

Miss January, Glory. Birthplace: San Antonio, TX, now residing in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, PA. Miss January loves long walks with her sisters, playing frisbee in the snow, belly rubs, going "all in" to initiate play, and bicycling with her front paws in the couch. No kisses at bedtime, though.

When is a mammogram not enough? Risk assessment should be done for all women by age 25, esp. if family history. All women should start screening by age 40; start earlier and with MRI if high risk. Read more... www.futureofpersonalhealth.com/breast-healt...

When Is a Mammogram at Age 40 Not Enough?

For many women, a mammogram at 40 is essential, but certain risk factors may necessitate additional or early screening options.

Good discussion of our research results presented at #RSNA2025 @rsnasky.bsky.social showing that adding 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) to contrast mammography reduces false alarms, maintains better detection of small invasive breast cancers. dailybulletin.rsna.org/2025/wed/wed14
