August 7, 2023May 28, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Paula Gordon, on air from August 8th

Dr. Paula Gordon is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Radiology at the University of British Columbia. She is a passionate clinician, researcher and educator. In the 1980’s her research on ultrasound-guided breast biopsies enabled accurate diagnosis of breast masses, and allowed women to forego surgery for non-cancerous abnormalities. Her research in 1995 was the first to show that ultrasound could find cancers missed on mammograms. This has led to a paradigm change in the management of screening women with dense breasts that began in the USA in 2009, but is now spreading to Canada, the UK, Asia, Australia and Europe.
