I had the opportunity to speak with KERA about a concerning trend we're seeing: the rising rates of breast cancer in younger women. As a breast surgical oncologist, I’m seeing this shift firsthand.

We don’t yet know exactly why it’s happening, but we do have some ideas—and I hope this interview helps spark more awareness and earlier conversations around screening and risk.

You can listen to the full segment or read the transcript at the link below.

Women younger than 50 have been diagnosed with breast cancer at a higher rate than older women. A North Texas specialist in breast surgical oncology shares some possible reasons.

Breast cancer mortality has fallen 44% since 1989 due to advances in detection and treatment, saving over 500,000 lives.

Despite progress, disparities persist, with Black and Native American women facing higher mortality rates and younger women experiencing rising incidence. Efforts like expanded screenings and targeted research aim to close these gaps and improve outcomes for all.

Exciting new research is underway! The TRIM-EBC clinical trial is studying how weight loss with Zepbound® (tirzepatide) could help reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence, especially in obese patients at high risk. This study focuses on the role of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), which can indicate microscopic disease that isn't visible on imaging. By targeting obesity—a known risk factor for recurrence—we're hopeful this trial will offer new insights into preventing breast cancer from coming back.
