Mina S. Sedrak, Breast medical oncologist and researcher at UCLA, shared ASCO’s post, adding:
“Timely. Early-onset cancer was a theme across talks at The Breast Cancer Research Foundation today: why young women with breast cancer recur more, how inherited genes shape risk, and whether faster biological aging plays a role.
Great conversation from Hope Rugo and Kimmie Ng.”
