Summer 2024 Breast Cancer Research Round Up


Listen Later

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force updated its screening mammogram recommendations. Having a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer in one breast doesn’t lower the risk of dying from the disease. Certain types of exercise can reduce the risk of metastatic recurrence and neuropathy caused by chemotherapy. 


What does all this mean? Breastcancer.org Professional Advisory Board member Dr. Holly Pederson discusses the details of these studies and how they may affect you.


Listen to the episode to hear Dr. Pederson discuss these studies:

  • updated U.S. Preventive Services Task Force breast cancer screening recommendations
  • double mastectomy after a cancer diagnosis in one breast reduces the risk of cancer in the other breast, but doesn’t decrease the risk of dying from breast cancer
  • neuromuscular training reduces chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy
  • exercise reduces the risk of metastatic recurrence of hormone receptor-negative breast cancer
  • hormonal therapy doesn’t increase dementia risk
