In Seattle, a big problem is that some women, especially those from East Africa, are not getting checked for breast cancer as often as they should. This is making things worse for them.

Breast cancer is tough. When it spreads, things get even harder. Doctors are trying new ways to help. They want to see if teamwork can make a difference. In the past, one doctor handled everything. Now, teams of specialists work together. This is called a multidisciplinary approach. The goal is to
Scientists have come up with a clever way to fight cancer using a special molecule. This molecule can find and attack cancer cells in the body. The tricky part about cancer is that it can hide from the body’s defense system. But this new treatment helps the body recognize and fight cancer cells. Th
In Poland, scientists found something interesting: tiny red yeasts that can break down fats. They tested 130 different types of these yeasts. Out of all of them, 12 stood out because they were really good at breaking down fats. These special yeasts are all from the same family, called Rhodotorula.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is tough to treat. It doesn't respond well to common therapies. But why? Recent research points to fat cells nearby. These fat cells change in ways that help cancer grow and spread. Normally, fat cells store energy. But in TNBC, they lose fat and become inflamed
Breast imaging has come a long way, and new tech is making it even better. Traditional methods like dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI have been the go-to for checking breast lesions, but they have some issues. They take a long time, cost a lot, and sometimes lead to unnecessary biopsies because th
