Episode Summary: Breast Cancer Prevention Just Took Two Big Steps Forward

In this short but powerful episode, Georgie breaks down two groundbreaking developments in breast cancer prevention that could reshape how we think about screening, menopause care, and early intervention:

1️⃣ An FDA-authorized AI toolClairity Breast—that predicts a woman’s five-year breast cancer risk from a standard mammogram, even when it appears normal.

2️⃣ A menopause drug, Duavee, that may help prevent invasive breast cancer in women with a history of high-risk lesions like DCIS.

These tools aren’t just high-tech—they’re practical, accessible, and represent a smarter, more equitable approach to women’s health.
