Women of BlueSky - I just got my annual mammogram. Have you scheduled yours this year? I thought about the women in my life who are survivors and they caught the #cancer early with annual screenings. Don’t delay!
While you are at it…schedule a colonoscopy too.

A JAMA article titled "Breast Density Masking and the Need for Precision Screening" by Danielle B. Holt, MD, MSS, published online March 30, 2026, doi: 10.1001/jama.2026.2443, under the Viewpoint | Women's Health section.

💬 Viewpoint: Breast density increases cancer risk and reduces #Mammography sensitivity, but access to supplemental screening like #MRI and ultrasonography remains limited, creating disparities in early #BreastCancer detection.

UK resident survey on #BreastCancer treatment and #Autism. I’m on the Lived Experience Advisory Group and tested this out. #Metastatic and non-autistic cancer survivors welcome too. I would estimate it took me more like 30-40 minutes.

Figure 2 shows cumulative incidence curves of cardiotoxic effects related to Trastuzumab based on CHIP status, from the SNUH cohort. Graphs A, B, and C display data from different cardiology groups, comparing CHIP(+) and CHIP(-) incidence over 2 years.

Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) was associated with higher risk of trastuzumab-related cardiotoxicity and heart failure in patients with #BreastCancer.

What Are the Risks of HRT in Breast Cancer Survivors? An evolving understanding of the risks and benefits of HRT has led to a reevaluation of the role of HRT for breast cancer survivors.

Systemic #HRT increases #breastcancer recurrence risk by 80% in HR+ patients (HR 1.8), while HR- patients show no significant increase (HR 1.19). Shared decision-making is essential. 🩺
