A Greenwich nonprofit has helped push breast cancer survival rates from 75% to 90% since 1996, funding $40 million in cutting-edge research and training specialized surgeons. The Breast Cancer Alliance now supports the full journey from early detection to life after treatment.
A Chicago softball tournament founded 32 years ago brought together 1,500 women this weekend, raising $115,000 for breast cancer research last year alone. The event has now donated over $1 million to support groundbreaking treatments that are helping patients live longer.
Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University created a molecule that shuts down a key enzyme cancer cells need to grow, causing tumors to shrink in mice with triple-negative breast cancer. The breakthrough could lead to new treatments for one of the deadliest forms of breast cancer.
Hundreds gathered in Peoria for the Susan G. Komen MORE THAN PINK Walk, raising funds for breast cancer research and patient support. The community event brought together survivors, families, and supporters in a powerful show of solidarity.
A dragon boat team of breast cancer survivors just launched their biggest fundraiser yet, pledging $150,000 for local cancer research while bringing patients, doctors, and researchers together. They're proving that the fight against cancer doesn't end with survival.
A personalized mRNA vaccine helped 11 women with aggressive breast cancer stay cancer-free for up to six years. The groundbreaking treatment trained their immune systems to recognize and fight cancer cells using their own tumor's genetic code.
Texas A&M researchers discovered that natural compounds in dark sweet cherries significantly slowed tumor growth and reduced cancer spread in the most aggressive form of breast cancer. The breakthrough offers new hope for treating triple-negative breast cancer, which has limited treatment options.
A groundbreaking breast cancer therapy just became the first FDA-approved drug of its kind, born from Yale research that began over two decades ago. The new treatment offers hope to thousands of women with an aggressive form of breast cancer.
Scientists have discovered a molecule that stops triple-negative breast cancer, the most aggressive form that often strikes younger women. The breakthrough treatment shows promise without the toxic side effects that plagued previous cancer therapies.
New research shows teenage girls who get just two hours of physical activity per week show early signs of lower breast cancer risk. The Columbia University study offers a simple, hopeful path forward as breast cancer rates rise among younger women.
Researchers at Hiroshima University discovered how to break apart protein pairs that help breast cancer spread, opening the door to a new type of treatment. Small protein chains tested in mice successfully stopped tumor growth and prevented cancer from reaching lymph nodes.
Scientists have discovered an antibody that successfully halted triple-negative breast cancer in laboratory models, offering hope for one of the most difficult cancers to treat. This breakthrough could lead to better treatment options for thousands of women facing this aggressive disease.
Scientists created a peptide that acts like a GPS tracker for metastatic breast cancer cells, successfully targeting and destroying them in mice without harming healthy tissue. The discovery could transform treatment for aggressive cancers that have spread beyond their original location.
Scientists have discovered a treatment breakthrough for one of the hardest types of breast cancer to treat. By understanding why some tumors resist chemotherapy, researchers found a drug combination that dramatically reduced cancer growth in lab models.
Scientists at MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered that combining two different cancer-fighting drugs can overcome treatment resistance in breast cancer, offering hope for patients whose tumors no longer respond to standard therapies. The breakthrough works across multiple types of breast cancer, including the most aggressive forms.
A UT Health San Antonio researcher just won a major grant to study whether therapeutic yoga can help Hispanic breast cancer survivors recover better than standard physical therapy. The two-year study could transform how we support cancer survivors after treatment ends.
Cancer survivor Janelle Temnick will join thousands at San Diego State University's Mission Valley campus for the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event. This year's walk adds a new 5K run and aims to raise $1 million for research and patient support.
Australian researchers discovered an RNA molecule that destroys the most common type of breast cancer while leaving healthy cells untouched. The breakthrough could lead to new treatments for women whose cancer no longer responds to existing drugs.
After surviving breast cancer, Prisca Githuka founded Pink Hearts Cancer Support Foundation to help others navigate their own cancer journeys. On World Cancer Day, she's sharing her story to prove that a cancer diagnosis doesn't have to be the end.
A leukemia survivor and a researcher who beat cancer are driving groundbreaking pediatric cancer research at Purdue University, inspired by beloved student Tyler Trent. Their work focuses on making treatments safer and more effective for kids fighting cancer.
