Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia. Approximately 15,000 women are affected each year, many of whom are under 40. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is highly invasive, has no current targeted treatment and affects about 15% of those diagnosed with breast cancer.

Garvan is leading a world-first clinical trial of a potential new treatment for TNBC. It could dramatically improve survival rates for patients and even block tumour growth. This clinical trial also has the potential to impact other cancer types such as ovarian, renal, liver and glioblastoma.

This is why your support today is so vital.

New guidelines say women should begin getting regular mammograms every two years starting at age 40 if they are at average risk of breast cancer. That’s a significant change from previous guidance by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force that said women could start routine mammograms at 50. Stephanie Sy reports.

Though it’s thought of as a disease that strikes women, men also battle breast cancer.

“Men have breast tissue. I think that’s an important lesson,” says Dr. Kathryn Ruddy, medical oncologist and director of Mayo Clinic’s Cancer Survivorship Program. “If a man finds an abnormality in his breast tissue, he should seek prompt medical attention.”

In this Mayo Clinic Minute, Dr. Ruddy explains who’s most at risk and what symptoms to watch for with breast cancer in men. Jeff Olsen reports.

Hi, I'm Dr Tasha

I’m a Doctor, Breast Cancer Surgeon and Medical Educator. After 20 years helping people to understand and overcome breast health problems, I’ve seen first hand the fear, frustration and stress that my patients go through.

As a breast specialist with over a decade’s worth of experience, I understand finding the right information, processing a diagnosis, understanding treatment and getting accurate, practical advice as you ride the rollercoaster of emotions can be really tough.

But I’m here to help.

The internet can be a wonderful source of information but when it comes to breast health there’s a lot of inaccurate information out there. Listening to the wrong advice could cause you unnecessary worry or even put your health at risk.

So I wanted to create an accessible hub where you could find useful, accurate and reliable information from a trusted source – a Breast Health Doctor – all in one place.

Breast cancer is treatable, but it's vital to spot the disease early so that treatment has a better chance of success.

Our video talks about the signs of breast cancer, and why spotting breast cancer early is important.

Breast lump
The first symptom of breast cancer for many women is a lump in their breast. But 9 out of 10 breast lumps (90%) are benign. That means they are not cancers.

But if you spot a lump, see your doctor straight away.

Change in size, shape or feel of a breast
Your breast might look bigger or have a different shape than usual. It might feel different. Many healthy women find that their breasts feel lumpy and tender before their period.

Get to know the size, shape and feel of your breasts. See your doctor if you notice any changes or anything that is unusual for you.

Breast pain
Breast pain is very common and it’s not normally due to cancer. You might get pain in one or both breasts for a while, which goes after a time. There might be no obvious reason for this pain, even if you have a lot of tests.

See your doctor if you have breast pain.
