Cycling for breast cancer research

Forty cyclists will be covering an endurance route of 720 km. They will cycle from London to Brussels to Paris this July to raise funds for breast cancer research at the University of Malta. For this initiative to happen, the RIDT has teamed up with two not-for-profit organisations, Action for Breast Cancer Foundation and ALIVE Charity Foundation. The former is an organisation that brings together breast cancer survivors, patients, and well-wishers, while ALIVE consists of a group of cyclists are dedicating their cycling efforts towards good causes.

The cyclists are currently undergoing training to get in shape for this challenge. Their objective is to each raise €1,800.

For centuries, medicine has balanced science with experience and intuition. Two patients with the same diagnosis may receive the same treatment, yet their outcomes can differ dramatically. That has long been one of medicine’s most frustrating mysteries, and one of its biggest challenges. Today, artificial intelligence (AI) is beginning to close this gap. What was once a vision of the future is now entering clinics, laboratories, and even operating rooms, redefining how care is delivered and how doctors and patients interact.
