Women with dense breast tissue now have better options for catching early-stage cancers that regular mammograms miss. A major UK trial shows fast MRI and contrast mammography detect up to five times more cancers than ultrasound alone.
Women with extremely dense breasts can now benefit from an additional screening tool that catches more cancers and saves more lives. A major study shows adding MRI to standard 3D mammography prevents additional breast cancer deaths in higher-risk women.
A Colorado engineer inspired by her mother's death from breast cancer is developing 3D-printed scaffolds that help survivors grow their own natural breast tissue after surgery. The breakthrough could give 300,000 women annually a safer, more natural alternative to traditional implants.
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.
Women suffering from years of chronic neck and back pain are finding lasting relief through a medical procedure that removes excess breast tissue. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Neal Goldberg explains how breast reduction offers more than cosmetic benefits for those with macromastia.
A new blood test can predict breast cancer recurrence nearly eight months before hospital scans, without needing tumor tissue samples. The breakthrough could help thousands catch cancer early enough to stop it from spreading.
An Australian medical device company just secured $27 million to advance breakthrough imaging technology that helps surgeons see cancerous tissue in real time during breast surgery. The innovation could spare thousands of women from having to go back for repeat operations.
A Colorado engineer who lost her mother to breast cancer has created 3D-printed tissue scaffolds that could help survivors heal using their own cells. The breakthrough could replace implants with a natural solution that restores both body and dignity.
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.
A breast cancer survivor is sharing her healing journey to give others hope. Emily Hester recently appeared on KARK 4 News to talk about her successful treatment for triple-positive breast cancer at CARTI.
Researchers at IIT BHU discovered a chemical compound that destroys breast cancer cells while leaving healthy tissue untouched, offering hope for treatments without chemotherapy's harsh side effects. The molecule targets two key proteins cancer cells need to survive, essentially starving them and triggering self-destruction.
The FDA just approved five new breast cancer treatments that give patients more hope than ever before, especially those facing the hardest-to-treat forms. Women who previously had few options now have powerful new weapons in their fight.
A groundbreaking treatment for triple-negative breast cancer just got FDA approval, giving patients twice as long with controlled disease and six more months of life. Christina, who could barely walk months ago, just walked down the aisle at a wedding thanks to this drug.
A groundbreaking study shows teenage girls who exercise just two hours weekly have lower breast cancer risk markers, offering young women a powerful tool for prevention. This discovery comes as breast cancer diagnoses rise in young women.
Scientists discovered that natural compounds in dark sweet cherries could slow the growth and spread of triple-negative breast cancer in mice. The finding offers hope for treating one of the most aggressive forms of the disease.
After breast cancer surgery, Aarthi Ayyar-Biddle made a bold choice that challenges beauty standards. The Canberra mom chose to keep one natural breast and skip reconstruction, modeling body confidence for her teenage sons.
The FDA just approved Enhertu for early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer, giving patients a powerful new treatment option before cancer spreads. This marks a major step forward in catching and treating breast cancer when it's most beatable.
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.

A drug already in trials for blood cancer could transform treatment for lobular breast cancer, a difficult-to-detect form affecting 15% of breast cancer patients. Scientists found the drug slowed tumor growth and spread in mice with minimal side effects.
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.
