City News : reported that GTA woman develops breast cancer despite double mastectomy

The wife and mother of two was diagnosed with triple negative Stage 4 breast cancer two weeks ago. Six years ago, Gina Maltese found out she has the BRCA1 gene mutation which gave her an 87-per-cent risk of getting breast and ovarian cancer. A Woodbridge woman who had a double mastectomy to counter her increased risk of cancer now faces the unthinkable — She has been diagnosed with an advanced form of the disease. The pathology report revealed no traces of cancer in Maltese's ovaries, fallopian tubes and breast tissue. Her ovaries were taken out first, followed by the double mastectomy in 2013 — and her risk was lowered to five per cent.

It's very useful for visual tasks, such as looking at a breast cancer biopsy. With 230,000 new cases of breast cancer every year in the United States, Google (GOOGL, Tech30) hopes its technology will help pathologists better treat patients. But it sometimes will falsely identify something as cancer, whereas a human pathologist is better at saying, "no, this isn't cancer."
