Advancing Care for Young Women with Breast Cancer
Young women with breast cancer often face unique challenges beyond their diagnosis, including long-term survivorship issues, fertility and family planning concerns, and a higher likelihood of aggressive cancers. But are their treatment pathways keeping up?
Dr Belinda Kiely explains the ground-breaking OPTIMA-Young trial, part of the larger PATH-for-Young initiative, exploring how global collaboration could change the future of treatment for younger patients.
In this episode, we sit down with Belinda to discuss:
- (04:14 ) How does OPTIMA-Young differ from existing treatment approaches?
- (05:25 ) Why is it important to have an international collaborative approach?
- (06:21 ) How will findings from OPTIMA-Young potentially change the way that we treat young breast cancer patients in the future?
Tune in for a deep dive into this important research.
