Patients undergoing autologous post-mastectomy breast reconstruction have greater satisfaction than those undergoing implant reconstruction

Greater Satisfaction With Autologous Breast Reconstruction

And, likelihood of complications up for autologous reconstruction versus expander-implant technique
The addition of ovarian suppression to tamoxifen is associated with increased survival versus tamoxifen alone among premenopausal women with breast cancer

ASCO: Ovarian Suppression + Tamoxifen Ups Breast CA Survival

Increased disease-free, overall survival for premenopausal women with breast cancer
A considerable proportion of breast cancer survivors do not undergo annual surveillance breast imaging

Many Breast Cancer Survivors Do Not Undergo Annual Surveillance

In year 1, 13 percent did not undergo MRI or mammography; up to 19 percent by year 5
A highly personalized therapy targeting multiple tumor antigens shows promise for metastatic breast cancer

Personalized Therapy Promising in Metastatic Breast Cancer

Adaptive transfer of mutant-protein-specific tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes leads to disease regression
For women with hormone-receptor-positive

ASCO: Endocrine Tx Noninferior for HR+, HER2− Breast Cancer

Similar efficacy for endocrine, chemoendocrine tx for women with midrange 21-gene recurrence score
The likelihood of having breast cancer with a poor prognosis is increased for cancer diagnosed after a screening mammography with negative results

Poor Prognosis for Interval Breast Cancer After Negative Mammo

Odds of poor prognosis after mammography with negative results higher for younger women
Breast cancer screening is associated with less aggressive treatment

Screening Mammos Linked to Less Aggressive Tx If Diagnosed

Women aged 40 to 49 years with no mammogram have increased odds of positive nodes, larger tumors
For breast cancer patients undergoing treatments that are high risk for the development of breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL)

Early Intervention May Reduce Breast CA-Related Lymphedema

Bioimpedance spectroscopy monitoring with early interventions lowers need for aggressive treatment
Circulating tumor cell status is predictive of radiotherapy benefit in early-stage breast cancer

CTC Status Predicts RT Benefit in Early-Stage Breast Cancer

CTC status linked to longer overall survival in those undergoing breast conserving surgery
Automated and clinical Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System density measures similarly predict breast cancer risk

Similar Risk Predicted for Automated, Clinical BI-RADS Density

Similar discriminatory accuracy for automated, clinical BI-RADS density measures for interval, screen CAs
