Cumming, Hologic's president and CEO, presided over the NASDAQ Stock Market Opening Bell Ceremony on Oct. 1, marking the start of a month-long effort to raise awareness of breast cancer and the importance of breast cancer screening. This is the eighth year that Hologic has been selected to participate in the NASDAQ opening bell ceremonies celebrating the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
In his opening remarks, Cumming focused on the value of Hologic's 3-D mammography (breast tomosynthesis) in finding more invasive cancers and decreasing unnecessary recalls.
