Behind the Science: Behind Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and therefore a good time to reflect on the current treatment landscape and look to the future. In the United States, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women, and while it most frequently affects women aged 50 years or older, it also occurs in younger patients, for whom a diagnosis can be especially overwhelming. The editors at CancerNetwork® met with a diverse group of thought leaders in the breast cancer space to discuss recent breakthroughs, persistent barriers to optimal treatment, and hopes for the future in this treatment landscape.
