Staying informed on current research can help you learn about the most up-to-date options for cancer management, make informed decisions, and gain control over your cancer care.
However, articles from medical and research journals are not written in lay language and are often hard to understand. Fortunately, breast cancer advocacy organizations provide regularly updated summaries of breast cancer research in patient-friendly language. Below we highlight a few of these patient-facing publications.

Breast and Other Cancers
