Advances in Breast Cancer ResearchThis page highlights what's new and recent research in the detection and treatment of breast cancer. New methods to detect breast cancer, such as 3-D mammography, are described. Treatments tailored to breast cancer subtypes are discussed, including targeted therapies.

Tool to Estimate Breast Cancer Risk in US Black WomenMost breast cancer risk tools were developed with data mainly from White women and don’t work as well for Black women. A new tool that estimates risk for Black women may help identify those who might benefit from earlier screening, potentially leading to earlier diagnosis and treatment.

Study Confirms HPV Vaccine Prevents Cervical CancerWidespread HPV vaccine use dramatically reduces the number of women who will develop cervical cancer, a large study has shown. In the study of nearly 1.7 million women, the vaccine was particularly effective for girls vaccinated before age 17, among whom there was a nearly 90% reduction in cervical cancer incidence.

AI approach improves cervical cancer screening in NCI studyIn a new study, an automated dual-stain method using artificial intelligence (AI) improved the accuracy and efficiency of cervical cancer screening compared with the current standard for follow-up of women who test positive with primary HPV screening. The approach has clear implications for clinical care.
