Short lecture on artificial intelligence and mammography

Early detection of breast cancer saves lives, with two out of three breast cancers being detected through screening using mammography. But mammography can improve and there is a lot of research underway to make the next advances possible.

Christina Lang is a radiologist and cancer researcher at Lund University. She is researching artificial intelligence in mammography. The new technology could make it possible to detect more cancers earlier and at the same time free up care time to devote to the patients who really need it.

Listen to Christina Lange talk about her research, which has received attention far beyond Sweden's borders.

Short lecture on breast implant research

Research advances in breast cancer have been remarkable, and now nearly 9 out of 10 women with the disease survive. But how is quality of life affected during and after cancer? What do breasts mean for the possibility of living a good life?

Emma Hansson is a plastic surgeon and cancer researcher at the University of Gothenburg. In an ongoing clinical study, she is comparing two methods of breast replacement: body-specific and implant-based breast reconstruction. She is studying women’s choice and involvement in choosing the method and how quality of life is affected over a long period of time.

Listen to Emma Hansson talk about her research and the ongoing project that has received 10 million SEK from the Cancer Foundation.
