Supplemental breast cancer screening is a very timely topic that every radiologist should know about. In this episode, based on my Radiology Review Insider article of the same name available at theradiologyreview.com, I provide an overview of the current supplemental screening landscape. In this episode I highlight current and future technologies for supplemental screening including advanced imaging (contrast-enhanced mammography, molecular breast imaging, breast MRI, breast CT, whole breast ultrasound, elastogrpahy, contrast-enhanced breast ultrasound), artificial intelligence, and ctDNA assays.  I also share my thoughts on current challenges and opportunities pertaining to supplemental breast cancer screening. All content of this podcast episode is my opinion only, and is presented to foster interest and further learning on this important and timely topic. Prepare to succeed!

"Innovations in the Detection, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Breast Cancer"

The Anne Klibanski Visiting Lecture Series was created to support and advance the careers of women. These lectures bring together faculty from institutions that have hosted Anne Klibanski Scholars with MGH scholars, on topics that overlap both research areas.

Presenters:
Manisha Bahl, MD, Breast Imaging Radiologist, Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School presented on “Tomosynthesis, Contrast-Enhanced Mammography, and Artificial Intelligence to Improve the Detection and Diagnosis of Breast Cancer”
Yolanda Bryce, MD, Director of Interventional Radiology Training Program, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center presented on “Cryoablation of Breast Cancer”

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Recognize the advantages of digital breast tomosynthesis and contrast-enhanced mammography over conventional digital 2D mammography.
• Review interpretive and noninterpretive artificial intelligence applications for breast imaging.
• Discuss justifications and approach for cryoablation of breast cancer.
• Describe a potential role of cryoablation in boosting immune response.
