UC Irvine is proud to be a founding member of the Athena Breast Health Network, a joint project of the University of California's five medical centers to unite California women, physicians and researchers in an effort to prevent breast cancer and improve screening and treatment of the disease. Mammogram patients at all of our UCI clinics are invited to participate in the Athena Study, an observati
onal study in which >100,000 women statewide will be followed for decades to enable researchers to identify new and better ways for breast cancer prevention, screening, treatment, and survivorship. Women between the ages of 40-74 who have never been diagnosed with breast cancer are invited to participate in the Wisdom Study, a clinical trial to test the safety and acceptability of personalized breast screening compared to annual screening.
