Breastcancer.org

Understanding breast cancer research isn't just interesting — it's practical. Patients and caregivers who know what's happening in the field are better equipped to ask the right questions and advocate for themselves in the doctor's office. This edition of our newsletter covers 5 findings worth knowing from the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting: - A GLP-1 connection to cancer progression that researchers are calling "provocative" - Trial results suggesting some high-risk patients may safely skip chemo - Yoga's measurable impact on survivor side effects - Lifestyle changes linked to a 76% lower recurrence risk - A new oral drug outperforming standard hormonal therapy ⬇️ Click to read our latest edition of Impact in Action.

Thank you, Kristen Elliott, for joining us again at WIMM this year. We're honored that Breastcancer.org could be a small part of your village, and we're so grateful for your support of our mission to ensure that no one has to face breast cancer alone. We appreciate your openness and advocacy to help others see that they, too, can do anything. 💗

Hundreds of leaders from media, marketing, advertising, and health care came together this past May for our fourth annual Women in Media & Marketing Awards Luncheon in support of a shared goal: ensuring that no one faces breast cancer alone. That belief has guided Breastcancer.org’s mission for more than two decades. It’s a mission rooted in the understanding that when someone receives a breast cancer diagnosis, they need more than medical care. They need trusted information, community, connection, and hope. This year, we were especially honored to announce and welcome Olympic gold medalist Elana Meyers Taylor as our newest ambassador. Together, we’re working to be the ultimate teammate—helping people better understand their risk, prioritize their breast health, and access trusted information when they need it most. Thank you again to our honorees, supporters, sponsors, and donors for helping make this event so meaningful and for advancing our mission. Because of you, we can continue to be by the sides of millions of people, providing free access to medically reviewed information and compassionate support through Breastcancer.org. 💜 📖 Download our free Breast Health Booklet here: https://lnkd.in/egvrSmjG #Marketing #Advertising #SPAM #Philanthropy #Nonprofit #BreastCancer

Breast cancer doesn't discriminate — and neither should cancer care. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQ+ people face unique risk factors, barriers to screening, and challenges finding inclusive providers.

Researchers reported a 42% lower risk of metastatic recurrence in premenopausal women and a 24% lower risk in postmenopausal women. Giredestrant is not yet approved by the FDA.
