Getting a mammogram should not feel complicated.
Yet many women face delays, confusion, long wait times, and unanswered questions when navigating breast cancer screening and follow-up care.
In this episode of Breast Cancer Conversations, Laura Carfang and William Laferriere sit down with Dr. Ryan Polselli, radiologist, entrepreneur, and founder of Mammolink, a mobile breast cancer screening company designed to bring mammography directly to women while reducing barriers to care.
Dr. Polselli shares how his own experience as a medical student facing a potential cancer diagnosis inspired him to rethink how healthcare is delivered. Together, they explore the realities of delayed diagnoses, dense breast tissue, same-day results, mobile mammography, artificial intelligence in healthcare, and what it will take to create a more patient-centered screening experience.
Topics we discuss:
• Why women often face delays in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment
• The growing concern of breast cancer in younger women
• What dense breast tissue means and why it matters
• Mammograms vs. ultrasound: understanding the differences
• How mobile mammography is improving access to screening
• Why same-day results can reduce anxiety and improve follow-up care
• The role of AI in breast cancer screening and patient navigation
• How employers and healthcare systems can help close screening gaps
• What patients need to know about advocating for themselves
Whether you are newly diagnosed, living with breast cancer, navigating survivorship, or simply due for your next screening, this conversation offers valuable insights into the future of breast cancer care.
