Department Description The Athena Breast Health Network is a unique collaboration among the five University of California medical centers (UCSF, UCSD, UC Davis, UC Irvine, and UCLA), their affiliates, and many other public and private partners. Through Athena, over 150,000 women who are screened for breast cancer will be followed for decades. Patients in this network receive personalized care and risk assessments, and researchers are able to create a repository of clinical and biological data and specimens. The Athena Project Management Office (PMO), which oversees these collaborations, is located at UCSF.
The Athena Network has received several large, federally funded, nationally recognized grants to conduct the WISDOM Study, a large- scale pragmatic trial nationwide. The Wisdom Study has enrolled over 35,000 women with the goal of enrolling 100,000 women. The study is testing two approaches to breast cancer screening (annual screening vs. personalized breast screening) to determine which approach is most effective, safe, and preferred by women. The personalized approach integrates the latest science in genetic profiling, breast cancer risk assessment and prevention strategies.
The WISDOM Study is comprised of national leaders in breast cancer research and clinical care and is a collaboration between clinicians, scientists, patient advocates, community leaders and industry. The team is dedicated to creating patient facing technology and tools to help support clinical decision making and advances in research, ultimately improving outcomes and saving lives.
