For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, breast surgeons with the ACS discuss what every woman should know about breast cancer — and why caring for patients through survivorship remains an important, yet often under-addressed, issue for many women.
UC San Diego Human Milk Institute names Mitra Hooshmand, PhD, as its Executive Director. Hooshman will lead strategy and operations at the innovative research institute.
To commemorate this 20-year milestone and to mark National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, NIEHS developed a suite of products including a 10-minute video available in English and available with Spanish captions, to showcase how the Sister Study started, what it has accomplished, and to spotlight the participants who make it all possible.
A special immune treatment may not be necessary until after the first trimester of pregnancy, according to Penn State-led research. The researchers said their results could change pregnancy care guidelines and possibly close global health equity gaps.
Researchers at Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center have found that a shorter course of radiation therapy after mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery provides the same protection against breast cancer recurrence and equivalent physical side-effects but substantially reduces life disruption and financial burden for patients.
In a first-of-its-kind study, people with breast cancer who underwent implant-based breast reconstruction immediately following a mastectomy reported that getting fewer, higher doses of radiation was just as effective as standard radiation, did not increase side effects and saved them time and money.
People who engage in sexual activity or vaginal dilation after chemoradiation treatment for cervical cancer are at lower risk for long-term side effects, according to a new study from researchers in Austria.
Two liquid biopsy tests that look for the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the blood accurately identified patients with a high risk of cervical cancer recurrence after the completion of chemoradiation, a new study confirms.
Many physician-scientists and other researchers from Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center will make oral or poster presentations and participate in panel discussions at the American Society of Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) 2023 annual meeting in San Diego, Oct. 1-4.
To mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the American Cancer Society highlights its guidelines encouraging average-risk women to begin regular screening mammograms at age 45, with the option to begin screening as early as age 40.
A lack of sleep and reduced physical activity during pregnancy are linked to risk of preterm birth, according to new research led by the Stanford School of Medicine.
Postpartum individuals are more likely to have medical debt than those who are pregnant.
While researchers continue to make advancements in cancer detection and treatment for breast cancer, one of the best ways to tackle the disease is through early detection and screening with mammography.
What young women should know about breast cancer and screening.
Researchers are working to improve outcomes for Black women with breast cancer – including through increased participation in clinical trials, which helps find better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.
Women undergoing autologous breast reconstruction – in which the breast is reconstructed using the patient's own tissues.
Most contraceptive pills are based on a cycle of taking the pill for 21 days, and then stopping the pill for 7 days. Now researchers have found that women’s mood worsens during the 7 pill-free days. This work will be presented at the ECNP congress in Barcelona on 8th October, after recent publication (see notes).
Cambridge researchers have found that women who smoke during pregnancy are 2.6 times more likely to give birth prematurely compared to non-smokers – more than double the previous estimate.
Dr. Mina Sedrak, associate professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and director of the Cancer and Aging Program at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, has received a five-year, $3.4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to examine how exercise and certain drugs may be able to slow chemotherapy-related accelerated aging seen in breast cancer survivors.
