Australia’s breast screening program is set for its biggest overhaul in decades, with plans for more personalised screening, greater use of artificial intelligence and a stronger focus on women at higher risk of breast cancer. Since BreastScreen Australia began in 1991, the program has detected more than 140,000 breast cancers early, contributing to a significant reduction in breast cancer deaths. Cancer Australia Medical Director Professor Vivienne Milch said breast density was an important part of improving early detection. At 34, she was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer after finding a lump during a self examination. Breast Cancer Network Australia welcomed the strategic framework but questioned whether the government’s $1.3 million commitment would be enough to deliver the reforms.
