PLEASE SHARE - BREAST CANCER PSA: AI + Doctors
Interesting fact: insurance cover breast screenings AFTER 40, but lots of diagnoses come before then; in this clinic, 39% of patients diagnosed with breast cancer have been under 40 years old. And the USPSTF, a leading authority on preventive care, lowered its recommended starting age for routine mammograms from 50 to 40 just TWO years ago.
At Eve Wellness in the Bay Area, they use doctors + AI: GE HealthCare’s Invenia ABUS, an automated 3D ultrasound, with QView’s QVCAD AI to flag areas for physician review. The scan uses sound waves, with no ionizing radiation. Results typically arrive in 24–48 hours - I got mine in only 5 hours.
ABUS also captures standardized, reproducible images, giving you a baseline that clinicians can compare with future scans to look for changes.
One patient, Anisha, was 37 when her cancer was found at stage 1. She credits her ultrasound appointment with helping fast-track her care.
And it wasn’t until September 10, 2024, that mammography facilities nationwide were required to tell women whether they have dense breasts. Some states already required this, but where you lived could determine whether you received that notification. Since 2024, the notice is required, but it only explains that density can hide cancers and increase risk, and that additional imaging may help some people… but it doesn’t say much else.
We NEED to raise awareness about this… I was SHOCKED to learn what I did. It seems like a massive hole in the system and in women’s health.
