BreastScreen Australia unveils major personalised screening overhaul
Published 4 days, 19 hours ago
Description
BreastScreen Australia is undergoing its largest overhaul in decades, shifting from a one-size-fits-all approach to personalised screening based on individual risk factors. Women at higher risk will be offered more frequent mammograms, and trials will determine the best screening approach for women aged 45 to 49. The framework introduces national breast density reporting and expanded use of artificial intelligence, aiming to improve early detection of Australia's most common cancer affecting women, which claims approximately 3,300 lives annually.
