Despite there being a great demand for data collection on sexual orientation and gender identity in the cancer space, individuals who identify as a sexual and gender minority remain poorly represented.
Many questions remain surrounding accurately classifying the risk of developing invasive breast cancer associated with the benign breast disease diagnoses of nonproliferative lesions and proliferative changes without atypia.
Kelly-Anne Phillips, MD, shares new findings suggesting that hormonal contraceptive use can increase the risk for breast cancer in those with genetic variants of BRCA1 and BRCA2.
Sara Hurvitz, MD, FACP, shares insights into the results of the HER2CLIMB-02 trial, which saw patients with HER2-positive breast cancer benefit from the addition of tucatinib to trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1).
Disparities in 10-year local recurrence following breast-conserving surgery were seen among women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) treated over a nearly 4-decade span at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, with Black women having the highest rate.
