🌟Key finding 2: Impact on screening uptake 👩🏽⚕️
Most concerning: the way AI is implemented could change participation. Up to 22% might ⬇️their breast screening if they don't like how AI is being used.
This could lead to cancers being missed or diagnosed later meaning they are harder to treat.

🌟Key finding 1: Mixed feelings⚖️
Australian women have mixed feelings about using AI in breast cancer screening:
✅40% are open to AI if it’s more accurate than radiologists,
❌42% are opposed,
❓18% have concerns that would need to be addressed.

Jo Scarfe did a fantastic presentation about our work on the #cost-effectiveness of #AI for #breastcancer #screening yesterday at #HSR24. She finds it probably isn’t cost effective now, but certainly could be in the future.

Woohoo! 🎉
Very grateful to be awarded a Sydney Cancer Partners #SCP Seed #Grant! I’ll be looking at #cancer #survivor preferences for a clinical pathway to address fear of cancer recurrence.
Need to get collaborator Ben Smith & Daffodil Centre into blue sky so they can celebrate too!
