The person that was stealing my identity on FB sent me this lovely message last week. Essentially “we don’t like using your identity but we have to.” Yes - please continue to prey on vulnerable people by selling cancer scams. 😡😡😡

OlympiA Update: 🔸 median f/u 6.1 years: 6 yr IDFS rate 9.4% absolute benefit for olaparib HR 0.65 ⬇️ in DDFS (7.8% absolute benefit) & OS (4.4% absolute benefit) 🔸 Consistent across all subgroups 🤰Pregnancy data similar b/w 2 arms 🩸 Low rate 0.4% MDS/AML in olaparib vs 0.7% in placebo #SABCS24

Great takeaways from the sex, drugs & rock and roll #SABCS24 session! 📌 Limited data on supplements & high risk of interactions. Informed decision making is 🔑 📌 Sexual health includes many factors: intimacy, body image & more 📌 Movement 👟 reduces breast cancer mortality and risk of recurrence.

The holidays are here and while this can be the best time of year, it can also be the hardest. Many have experienced personal changes or loss this year.Let this serve as a reminder that it is okay to hold space for both joy and grief. I hope you are surrounded by your community & filled with love.

This study further 👏👏 supports the safety of vaginal estrogen, which can markedly improve quality of life in patients. Genitourinary syndrome of menopause is more than just vaginal dryness and low dose vaginal estrogen can help so much!

Study in #JAMAOnc from Scotland/Wales of nearly 50k #breastcancer patients suggests vaginal estrogen use *NOT* associated w increase risk of breast cancer-specific mortality. More reassuring data 👍 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Good to see more and more organizations in alignment with starting at 40. Key point also is that everyone should be getting a breast cancer risk assessment starting at age 25 and reassessing periodically after to see if they are high risk and need earlier screening w additional modalities.

ACOG recommends starting mammography at age 40 for those at average breast cancer risk, due to a 2% annual increase in cases among women aged 40-49 from 2015 to 2019 #BreastCancer
