Hi
John,
Breast cancer is a complex group of diseases that occur in a complex world.

And at Breast Cancer Action, we never shy away from asking critical questions about how issues of screening, treatment, and diagnosis impact people living with and at risk of the disease.

Last week we attended the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), the largest breast cancer conference in the world, where clinicians and researchers gather to share the latest updates on drugs, treatments, and standards of care. BCAction is in attendance every year to speak up and provide our unique, patient-centered perspective on the latest findings.

Read our blog posts on this year’s big takeaways, including updates on COVID-19 and breast cancer screening, genetic testing, and a recent immunotherapy approval ([link removed]) .

Breast Cancer Action’s independent analysis is evidence-based and social justice-focused. We see past the hype and call for more effective, less toxic treatments that truly make a difference in the lives of people who need them. We push past reliance on pharmaceutical interventions and profit-driven prevention strategies to reveal the ways in which inequities, barriers to healthcare, and environmental exposures produced by larger systems drive the breast cancer crisis AND disparities in diagnosis, treatment, and mortality.

Our staff who attended the symposium, myself and Executive Director Dr. Krystal Redman (KR) provided rapid-response updates on social media ([link removed]) , and published eight blogs detailing a comprehensive summary of our biggest takeaways.
