Upcoming Events
Women in Medtech Forum: Updates in Breast Cancer Diagnostics
Thursday, September 26, 2024 (1:00 PM - 2:00 PM) (EDT)
Description
Breast cancer is the second most common cause of death for women, just behind heart disease. The good news? The CDC recently updated guidelines for women of average risk to start mammograms at age 40, down from 50. Pair an earlier start with advancements in diagnostic technology, and we are finding cancer more quickly, leading to earlier stages and improved prognoses.
Join this interactive Women in Medtech Forum to hear from those on the front lines of breast cancer detection – from blood tests to AI aided imaging and beyond. Hear from a panel of industry experts about the medtech poised to change the standards of care for finding – and perhaps treating – breast cancer and what you need to know to advocate for yourself.
You will receive a link to join the virtual event directly from Zoom at the time of registration and prior to the event.
