LOBULAR BREAST CANCER WEBINARS

Our next webinar on lobular breast cancer will be on

Tuesday 2nd December 2025 from 7pm to 8.30pm London time​

Our guests will be Professor Sue Astley and Dr Gillian Hutchison

'The challenges of imaging lobular breast cancer and the potential for AI to help.' 

 

Professor Sue Astley

Professor of Intelligent Medical Imaging, The University of Manchester

Her work is focused on the development and evaluation of imaging biomarkers for breast cancer risk prediction and early detection, and the science underpinning stratified screening. Her research encompasses a range of technologies both for breast density measurement and early detection of cancer. Recent projects include developing AI for risk prediction and early detection of breast cancers from standard and ultra-low-dose mammograms, evaluation of the impact of computer aided detection on reader behaviour and performance, reader variability studies, developing fair and explainable AI, and the use of contrast enhanced mammography for evaluation of breast lesions. Her research is collaborative within a multidisciplinary network of scientists and clinicians in the UK and overseas.
