NBCC President Fran Visco authored the following open letter to the House Ways and Means Committee, criticizing the committee for failing to bring the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act, HR 2048, before the committee for markup.

A chronotherapy study in Nature Medicine showed dramatic results. Then it was retracted.
The phase III trial claimed a staggering boost to OS and PFS when immunochemotherapy was given before 3 p.m.

On Feb. 2, Nature Medicine published the results of a large, randomized, prospective clinical trial in the nascent and some say, fringe, field of chrono-oncology—the study of how natural biological rhythms might impact cancer outcomes.

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.
