Breast Cancer

The use of PD-L1 to predict outcomes highlights a possible opportunity to better understand which patients with ER-positive breast cancer may benefit from an immune checkpoint inhibitor.

I don’t think of nature as a distraction to my cancer, masking the symptoms or the reality of my disease, but rather as a therapy that offers comfort and serenity with no negative side effects.

As a health care provider who specializes in lymphedema, I had a unique perspective when I was diagnosed with cancer.

Postmenopausal women cancer survivors, including lung, breast, colorectal and endometrial cancer, may have a greater physical function decline than is generally expected at their age, which may lead to lower quality of life after treatment.

Guidelines often use a cutoff of 70 years old for breast cancer treatment, but patients should discuss goals of care with their team to further personalize their care.

The new year brings reflection on living fully with cancer.

Reflecting on World Cancer Day got me thinking about butterflies, a symbol of hope, but, according to the “Butterfly Effect” theory, a small flap of their wings could have major impacts on the world, which is not very different from cancer.

The Food and Drug Administration approved Trodelvy for patients with pretreated, unresectable HR-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer.

Patients with breast cancer who lived in Southern states with Medicaid expansion were less likely to be diagnosed with metastatic disease and more likely to receive treatment.

While cancer is a horrible disease, it taught me some valuable lessons.
