It appears that after treatment of ER/PR + breast cancer treatment, the standard treatment for post-menopausal women is hormone suppression for 5-10 years and hope it does not recurred. This results in many side effects and anxiety.

Is there any new research being done to prevent or predict ER/PR + breast cancer recurrence?

Thanks
Laurie

We're going to start in a few minutes. Dr. Chumsri was delayed with a patient.

I'm new to this. Can I listen live from my facebook page or do I go somewhere else?

My daughter has a PTEN mutation which places her more at risk for breast cancer. Is there anything she can/should be doing to help prevent breast cancer from occurring?

Hello! I am joining late. Has TNBC vaccine study opened back up yet? Thank you! I appreciate all you do for your patients here at Mayo in JAX.

To add to the previous question - the TNBC immunotherapy (not sure if this is the right word). study.

Yes. But I am asking about the vaccine study that recently closed - however, according to Dr. Chumsri - it could possibly reopen.

I am a breast cancer survivor - diagnosed at age 52 - ER/PR positive. I have 2 adult daughters. What testing/care would you recommend to monitor them for breast cancer?

REPLY

I was in a study for hormone suppression prior to surgery that measured Ki67. What is Ki67 and is it just a measurement in breast cancer or also in other cancer?
