Douglas Marks, MD, discusses how diet, exercise, and alcohol reduction can meaningfully lower breast cancer risk

Mammography use fell significantly among younger, uninsured, and non-Hispanic White and Asian women from 2002-2022, with the 2009 USPSTF guideline change a likely driver.

Bireociclib plus fulvestrant significantly improved progression-free survival and response rates in advanced HR-positive breast cancer, with manageable safety and consistent benefits across high-risk subgroups.

Delivering value-based oncology care requires both scientific breakthroughs and deliberate system redesign, experts concurred during this February IVBM in Los Angeles.

Rural US patients with breast cancer face higher advanced-stage diagnoses, with Black, Hispanic, uninsured patients and those in Southern regions at greatest risk.

A new meta-analysis links menopausal hormone therapy to higher breast cancer risk with estrogen-progestin therapy, while estrogen-only therapy may lower risk.

Risk-based mammography tailors screening to breast cancer risk, reducing false positives and preventing more deaths than age-based screening.

Sequencing CDK4/6i to the second line rather than the first appears to produce equivalent survival for most patients with meaningfully less treatment burden.

A study of 1.5 million patients suggests that ACA Medicaid expansion reduces breast cancer deaths, especially advanced cases—yet racial and income gaps persist.

Alongside physician collaboration, patient advocacy is essential to ensure clinical trials and public policy reflect patient-centered outcomes.

Patient–physician collaboration ensures trials reflect outcomes that matter to patients, according to Debra Patt, MD, PhD, MBA, MPH.

Yara Abdou, MD, emphasizes that addressing fertility, survivorship, and quality of life is key to improving outcomes for young patients with breast cancer.
