Now make mammograms not $500 and not have a 6 month waiting time and make them available for women under 40. Then this'll be a useful breakthrough

It's already this way in most of the world.

Oh for sure. I only meant in the US where MIT is located. But it's already a useful breakthrough for everyone in civilized countries

For reference here in Australia my wife has been asking to get mammograms for years now (in her 30s) and she keeps getting told she’s too young because she doesn’t have a familial history. That issue is a bit pervasive in countries other than the US.

Better yet, give us something better to do about the cancer than slash, burn, poison. Something that's less traumatic on the rest of the person, especially in light of the possibility of false positives.

I think it’s free in most of Europe, or relatively cheap
