New episode: How AI could improve communication in breast cancer care

Breast cancer care moves fast — from imaging and reports to diagnosis and treatment decisions. But for patients, understanding what is happening medically and what it means for them can be difficult, especially when fear, language barriers, or complex medical terminology get in the way.

In this episode, we explore how AI-supported communication could help make information clearer, more accessible, and easier to act on — while keeping human connection, trust, and clinical judgment at the center of breast cancer care.

Our guests discuss how communication can shape whether patients feel informed, involved, and able to take part in decisions about their own care. They explore how AI may support translation, plain-language information, patient journey summaries, and more meaningful clinician-patient conversations.

  • Why patients can feel “lost in translation” during the breast cancer care journey
  • How language, health literacy, fear, and fragmented information can affect patient understanding
  • How AI could help summarize documents, support translation, and give care teams a clearer view of the patient journey
  • Why trust still depends on people feeling heard, understood, and supported by their clinical team

In this episode of Healthcare Perspectives, host Isabel Nieto Alvarez, PhD, is joined by:

  • Maria Bernathova, MD, breast radiologist and generative AI specialist based in Vienna, Austria
  • Caroline Justich, breast cancer patient advocate and founder of the patient support initiative Be Accepted

Listen to explore how communication shapes the breast cancer journey — and how AI could help patients better understand, navigate, and participate in their care.
