Report Synopsis

Interesting facts:

• According to GLOBOCON 2024, female breast cancer ranks second in terms of new cancer cases globally, with 2,308,897 new cases, accounting for 11.6% of all cancer diagnoses. It ranks fourth in cancer-related deaths, with 665,684 deaths, representing 6.9% of all cancer mortality.
  
  
• Several AI-powered mammography solutions, like iCAD's ProFound AI and Hologic's Genius AI Detection 2.0, have already received FDA approval. These systems don't just assist radiologists — they independently flag suspicious areas, helping to increase cancer detection rates and reduce reading time by up to 50%.

Emerging startups:

• Therapixel: Therapixel, a France- and U.S.-based startup, gained significant momentum between 2021 and 2024 with its FDA-approved AI solution, MammoScreen. The software supports radiologists by scoring mammograms and highlighting suspicious areas, helping to detect breast cancer earlier while reducing reading time. Therapixel's advances have made AI-assisted screening more practical and reliable in busy clinical environments.
  
  
• Vara: Based in Germany, Vara expanded its AI platform from 2021 to 2024 into new regions such as Mexico and India. Vara's technology is integrated directly into breast cancer screening workflows, assisting radiologists by pre-analyzing mammograms and flagging cases for review.
