Facing a breast cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming and frightening. Understandably, you may feel that you don’t know where to start on this journey that you didn’t ask to take.

Concerns About Genetic Testing Kits For Detecting Breast Cancer Genes

You’ve most likely seen the ads on TV for home-kits like 23andMe that can tell you about your ancestry through saliva testing. 23andMe is now offering the ability to give you FDA approved health reports as well, and people are curious if these reports can determine if they carry the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

These are both important events to raise awareness about hereditary cancer and the importance of BRCA gene testing. Millions of people carry an inherited BRCA gene mutation or have a family history of cancer, but many remain unaware of their risk. National HBOC Week and Previvor Day aim to change that.

The New York Times recently published an article written by a breast cancer survivor who was advocating that women who’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer seek second opinions about their treatment options.

What Are Papillomas And Why Do They Need To Be Excised?

Posted by Dr. Aaron G. Margulies - June 20, 2018 - Breast Cancer Diagnosis

If you feel a lump in your breast, or have nipple discharge, don’t automatically assume you have breast cancer. There are benign breast conditions that can also cause lumps and bloody nipple discharge, such as an intraductal papilloma. This is a small, non-cancerous tumor that forms in a milk duct in the breast, most commonly in women between the ages 35 and 55. There are no known risk factors to indicate which women might be more likely to develop an intraductal papilloma.
