Mobile clinic brings free breast cancer screening to 16 counties

Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine partners to run a Mobile Health Clinic offering free breast cancer screenings for women ages 18 to 64, regardless of income or insurance. Two 40 foot mobile units travel across 16 counties including Athens and Hocking, with funding from OUHCOM and the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Clinics accept appointments or walk-ins, often pairing with local hospitals for mammograms, aiming to reduce late‑stage diagnoses and boost education on prevention and next steps.

Racial gap in breast cancer diagnoses closes

A new report in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians finds black and white women now share similar breast cancer diagnosis rates, with growth in black diagnoses while white rates level off. The death gap widens, attributed partly to obesity and higher comorbidities among black patients, especially in the South.

Study Questions Mammograms Cut in Advanced Breast Cancer

A NEJM report based on federal data since the 1970s questions whether widespread mammography reduces advanced breast cancers. The rate of cancers detected at an advanced stage has stayed stable since 1975, despite decades of screening, suggesting some cancers are systemic from onset and early detection may not prevent deadly forms. Prostate screening shows mixed results, with PSA testing not clearly lowering mortality in major trials.
