In this episode, breast radiologist, Dr. Robyn Roth, aka @theboobiedocs, talks with Dr. Dana Ataya, an associate professor of breast radiology at Moffitt Cancer Center. They discuss the crucial importance of yearly mammograms starting at age 40 for average-risk women and emphasize the rising incidence of breast cancer in younger women.

The episode addresses the confusion surrounding screening guidelines, the significance of understanding personal breast cancer risk, particularly for Jewish and Black women, and the benefits of supplemental imaging like ultrasound and MRI for women with dense breast tissue.

Additionally, common myths about mammography, such as the notion that they cause breast cancer, are debunked. The conversation highlights the importance of evidence-based screening methods and healthy lifestyle choices in cancer prevention. Dr. Dana shares her first song and music video, End the Confusion, to promote breast cancer screening awareness as well as her Moffitt Cancer Center band, The ReMissions band. Dr. Robyn also gives important breast cancer awareness updates.
