How do you deal with the challenges women meet in male dominated environments? Is finding a mentor crucial to your well-being and advancement? Is it better to wait till you establish your career before you have children?Dr Gudrun Moore is Professor of Molecular Genetics at UCL, and Cathy Giangrande is a UCL Alumna and Conservation Scientist.This podcast was produced by Whistledown Productions for UCL Minds.

Since then our understanding of the biology of breast cancer and its treatment has moved on whilst the screening programme continues without modification based on the results of trials reported in 1987. This lecture will discuss some of the harmful problems of this over-diagnosing system, and will look at the need for radical change to bring the entire programme up to date with modern practice based on risk assessment and risk management.This lecture marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
