Pregnancy and Breast Cancer


Biological changes in the breast that happen during pregnancy decrease breast cancer risk. In this episode of LIVE At the Lab, Camila dos Santos, assistant professor and Cancer Center member at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), describes how her lab uses organoid models to study how pregnancy permanently alters gene expression. Her findings can help researchers develop methods for preventing and treating breast cancer. For some of her recent research, check out: https://www.cshl.edu/pregnancy....-reprograms-breast-c
Camila dos Santos received her Ph.D. from Universidade Estadual de Campinas in Brazil. She studied at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia before coming to CSHL to study breast stem cells. She has won several prestigious awards for her research, including the Pershing Square Sohn Prize, a Rita Allen Foundation Scholar grant, and the AACR Breast Cancer Young Investigators award.

During a routine pregnancy ultrasound, Parul felt a lump in her breast. Knowing she carried a genetic risk for breast cancer, she scheduled a biopsy.Just days after delivering her daughter, she was diagnosed.
Within a month, she was being treated at Stanford. “Genetic testing probably saved my life,” said Parul. “Because we knew her BRCA status, we could more optimally select therapies,” said her Stanford medical oncologist Melinda Telli, MD. After 12 weeks of targeted, combination chemotherapy, followed by surgery, Parul was cancer free.
