In this Breastcancer.org podcast, Brian Wojciechowski, M.D., Breastcancer.org medical adviser, discusses some of the research that was published in October 2014.
Listen to the podcast to hear Dr. Wojciechowski explain:
- results of a study that found the targeted therapy Herceptin offers long-lasting benefits for women diagnosed with early-stage HER2-positive disease
- a study that found occult cancers in more than 2% of women who were having their ovaries removed preventively because of genetics or family history
- why Hispanic women still need to take steps to reduce their risk of breast cancer, even if they have a genetic variant that may lower their risk
- why more research is needed before a new genomic test can be used to make treatment decisions
