Dr. Susan Love, www.actwithlove.org. She has dedicated her professional life to the eradication of breast cancer. As Chief Visionary Officer of the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, she oversees an active research program centered on breast cancer cause and prevention. Her activist reputation comes from her role as one of the “founding mothers” of the breast cancer advocacy movement in the early 1990’s as one of the founders of the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC). Dr. Susan Love’s Breast Book, deemed “the bible for women with breast cancer” by The New York Times, was released in its fifth edition in October 2010. A true visionary, Dr. Love’s recent projects include the Army of Women, an innovative solution to partner women and scientists to accelerate basic translational research. The campaign has recruited more than 373,000 women who are willing to participate in research to find the cause and prevention of breast cancer.

Is it conceivable that--within our decade--no woman will ever have to hear the words "you have breast cancer" or "your breast cancer is back" again? Guest: Dr. Vincent Tuohy, an immunologist at the Cleveland Clinic, discovered The Pink Vaccine. Researchers at Cleveland Clinic’s Lerner Research Institute found that a single vaccination could prevent breast tumors from occurring in mice genetically bred to develop breast cancer, while also inhibiting the growth of already existing breast tumors. While the research was originally published in 2010, recently Cleveland Clinic Innovations has created a spin-off company to develop a preventive breast cancer vaccine with Dr. Touhy’s guidance. The new company, Shield Biotech, will complete preclinical development and seek permission from the FDA to test the vaccine as an investigational new drug in proof-of-concept, first-in-human clinical trials. Joining Dr. Touhy is Judy Fitzgerald, one of the champions of The Pink Vaccine movement!

Guests: FORCE (Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered) Amy Byer Shainman, Dr. John Rimmer, and Conni Murphy Topic: The Hollywood Feature Film Decoding Annie Parker, a film based on two remarkable women. Annie Parker is a sharp-witted young woman who watches her mother and sister fall victim to breast cancer. When she is diagnosed with the disease, she believes that her cancer is hereditary and fights back against immeasurable odds. Dr. Mary-Claire King is the Berkeley geneticist whose discovery of the BRCA1 gene and its link to hereditary breast cancer forever changed the understanding of the disease. It is considered one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century. With an amazing cast of actors (including Samantha Morton, Helen Hunt, Bradley Whitford, and Richard Schiff), Decoding Annie Parker aligns with FORCE's Mission: To improve the lives of individuals and families affected by hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.

Guest: Amy Shainman, Sue Friedman, Wendy Unger (Survivors) Topic: FORCE (Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered) While Angelina Jolie's decision to have a double mastectomy was right for her, does that mean it's right for you (if you are at risk)? These are exactly the topics that makes www.facingourrisk.org (FORCE) such a great resource. FORCE was founded on the principle that no one should have to face hereditary breast and ovarian cancer alone. They are the only national non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.

Guest: Chiqeeta Jameson, Cancer Survivor and SonoCine Co-Host: Chris Jerry (www.emilyjerryfoundation.org) Chiqeeta spent years in high level positions in the film production industry, until she was diagnosed with breast cancer. It changed her life forever. She left her high level position to work/advocate for SonoCiné, Inc., a company that manufacturers SonoCiné AWBUS, an automated whole breast ultrasound screening technology designed to find small invasive breast cancer in women with DBT (dense-breast tissue). Chiqeeta knows that the inventor of this technology, Dr. Kevin Kelly, Breast Imaging Radiologist, saved her life because of his belief that ultrasound can detect in dense-breast tissue what mammography may miss. She was misdiagnosed for so long that her cancer was in a later stage. Chiqeeta knows exactly why she had breast cancer: to educate as many women as possible about their breast density and what to do about it.

Guest: Dr. Carrie Morrison, Dir. of Breast Imaging, Mammography Diagnostics Imaging Assoc. I admit it; I was frustrated with the consistently inconclusive results of my mammogram's. Over and over, I got my sort-of "happy gram", and I was told to come back for follow-up screening. Thanks to Chiqeeta Jameson, SonoCine, I found out my breast density is a 3--meaning that I'm dense, and abnormalities can sometimes not show in mammograms. I traveled to St. Luke's Hospital for my SonoCine (Auto Whole Breast Ultrasound). I'm so thankful I followed my instincts. My SonoCine found two small intraductal cysts that didn't show on my mammogram. The staff at St. Luke's arranged a needle biopsy. The pathology report showed "atypical cell", but the risk was caught very early. For this show, Dr. Morrison shares many of her invaluable insights on breast screening. Many thanks to Dr. Morrison and her wonderful staff at St. Luke's for their excellent care!
