DAY #7 FACT

What’s the difference between a screening and diagnostic mammogram?

There are a number of important differences between a screening mammogram and a diagnostic mammogram. And you should definitely understand the differences before your exam and ensure your prescription reflects the appropriate test. The basic difference, however, is that the screening mammo is used generally to look for signs of cancer. A diagnostic mammo investigates possible problems.

LITCL Countdown Day #8 Fact: What is “Triple Negative” breast cancer and why is it so hard to treat?

10 Oct

LEARN … SHARE … WIN!

DAY #8 FACT

fact

It is now commonly understood that breast cancer is not one form of cancer, but many different “subtypes” of cancer.

These subtypes of breast cancer are generally diagnosed based upon the presence, or lack of, three “receptors” known to fuel most breast cancers: estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). The most successful treatments for breast cancer target these receptors.Unfortunately, none of these receptors are found in women with triple negative breast cancer. In other words, a triple negative breast cancer diagnosis means that the offending tumor is estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative and HER2-negative, thus giving rise to the name “triple negative breast cancer.”
