It was an absolute honor speaking with Dr. Daniel Kopans, a pioneer in the field of breast imaging, about the importance of breast cancer screening for women in their 40s. Dr. Kopans has dedicated his career to improving mammography technology and has become one of the most outspoken defenders for breast cancer screening in young women.

In this conversation, we discuss how ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ป๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ต๐˜† ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฌ ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€. (and why 50 is a made up number). He alsoย breaks down myths over radiation risk, overdiagnosis, and the future breast imaging.ย 

Dr. Kopans helped create the breast imaging subspecialty in the 1970s and is the founder of the Breast Imaging Division. Massachusetts General Hospital. Amongst his many accolades, he helped invent digital breast tomosynthesis, the needle localization procedure which made breast conservation therapy possible, and also wrote the book on breast imaging.ย 

This is an incredibly important and informative conversation, and youโ€™ll understand breast cancer screening controversies (and why heโ€™s the G.O.A.T. ๐Ÿ)ย 

Enjoy!
