Thank you for the opportunity to present the Breast Surgical Oncology @HenryFordHealth research today. We continue to work towards decreasing any delay in operative time and potentially avoiding SLNB in favorable patient populations.

[Boston Breast Surgeon @DrTedJames]

Any breast cancer diagnosis in a patient with a pathologic genetic mutation is a missed opportunity for prevention. Testing lets us identify at-risk patients and intervene before cancer develops.

Only at @ASBrS #asbrs22 can you hear Dr. Armando Giuliano (this guy LITERALLY wrote the book on de-escalating axillary surgery) debating that axillary surgery IS NOT obsolete. “Abandoning nodal staging can lead to over treatment”…#intheNodes

Thank you @MPilewskie for your presentation on chemoprevention and recommendations for high risk patients. Some great pearls and guidelines for physicians and patients! #ASBrS22 #ASBrS2022 #reducetherisk #breastcancer

Very interesting #ASBrS22 talk this morning from @DrJudyBoughey @MayoClinic about how the COVID pandemic increased our use of neoadjuvant endocrine therapy and increased use of genomic testing on core specimens

One-year local COVID-19 restrictions negatively impacted breast cancer stage at presentation, time to treatment and time to surgery at an urban safety-net hospital: New study shows increased vulnerability of an already high-risk population: https://t.co/Xll7qy91rD #ASBrS2022

[Puneet Singh, MD FACS @puneetsinghmd]

The COVID-19 pandemic has permanently impacted society in so many ways including delays in breast ca screening not just due to cessation of screening but also due to patient inability to access. Whether this results in stage migration or ⬆️ deaths is TBD @DrJDietz #ASBRS22 @ASBrS
