Young women diagnosed with breast cancer within three years of childbirth may face more aggressive disease, UCLA study finds

Breast cancers diagnosed during the first three years after childbirth, particularly within the first year, may be biologically more aggressive than similar cancers in women who have never given birth, according to a study led by investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Portable ultrasound system could make reliable breast imaging more accessible, MIT study finds

For people at high risk of developing breast cancer, yearly mammograms may not be enough to detect tumors early. To make earlier diagnosis easier, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology team has developed portable detectors based on ultrasound, which could be used much more frequently. The team reports that they have improved the resolution of the images produced by their system, making it easier to spot potential tumors, as well as cysts and microcalcifications.

Neutrophils help triple-negative breast cancer cells spread to other organs, BCM study finds

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have discovered how immune cells called neutrophils can help triple-negative breast cancer cells metastasize to other organs. The study found these interactions both in animal models and human samples of TNBC.

Camizestrant combination delayed time to first progression by 55% in patients with advanced HR+ breast cancer with ESR1 tumor mutation

Further positive results from the phase III SERENA-6 trial showed camizestrant plus a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor—palbociclib, ribociclib or abemaciclib—maintained its progression-free survival benefit with longer follow-up and delivered a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in second progression-free survival, demonstrating sustained benefit beyond initial treatment.
