Mobile health screening model lowers costs, promotes sustainability
A new cancer screening service model developed by Italian researchers can reduce direct non-medical costs and improve environmental sustainability for breast cancer screening and other screening exams.
The investigators, led by doctoral candidate Vera Benedetto from the Health Science Interdisciplinary Center in Pisa, found that their model, which utilizes mobile cancer screening for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer, reduced costs by over 95,000 euros ($101,155 U.S.) in terms of travel costs and productivity losses. It also reduced as much as 35 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2)-equivalent travel emissions for a popula...

High breast density tied to impaired recurrence-free cancer survival
This study may lead to insights on risk factors related to tumor biology, mammographic patterns at diagnosis, and breast cancer recurrence, which in turn could be used to tailor surveillance,” the Lång team wrote.
