Unmet social needs tied to screening mammography use
Women's unmet social needs should be considered to better promote breast cancer screening utilization and early-stage cancer diagnosis, suggest findings published February 13 in JAMA Network Open.
Researchers led by Neha Goel, MD, from the University of Miami in Florida found that access to screening mammography did not translate to mammography use and that increasing unmet social needs were tied to lower rates of screening mammography. Also, women with high levels of unmet social needs were more likely to present with late-stage breast disease.
“This novel research is important as diagnosis at a later stage significan...

Marion Smits speaks on TikTok, open access and all things ECR
This may come as a surprise given her academic credentials and reputation for high-quality peer-reviewed scientific research, but Dr. Marion Smits, PhD, is a big fan of TikTok. She strongly urges every radiologist to make more use of social media. Less surprising perhaps, she's also a massive supporter of open-access publishing and ECR.
Ahead of this month's congress in Vienna, we caught up with Smits, who is chair of the European Society of Radiology (ESR) Research Committee and chief of neuroradiology and chair of the neuroradiology fellowship program at Erasmus MC in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In a video interview, sh...

Early Detection Tests for Mesothelioma Are in Development
Scientists in Australia are developing early detection tests for mesothelioma. The Asbestos and Dust Diseases Research Institute’s new test could potentially save lives. According to ADDRI’s academic and research director Dr. Anthony Linton, the tests will be similar to PCR tests already in use to detect COVID-19.
These new tests can find small amounts of DNA that cause disease. The PCR method, used since the 1980s, allows DNA samples to be studied in a higher level of detail. PCR is the tech behind the beginning of the 1990 Human Genome Project to identify and map human DNA.
“We have identified a...
