Primary care docs participating in breast cancer decisions
Primary care docs participating in breast cancer decisions
Most women in a new U.S. survey said their primary care physician was involved in their breast cancer care during treatment, and rated their doctor's engagement and communication levels as high.Researchers found, though, that more primary care provider (PCP) involvement was only tied to a better perception of treatment decisions by the survey participants, who all had newly diagnosed breast cancer, when compared to low PCP involvement."While we hypothesized that many women receive high quality primary care during breast cancer treatment, we were surprised that the majority of women in our study also reported high levels of engagement and communication with their PCP during cancer treatment, when the care is typically focused primarily on treating the cancer," said lead author Lauren P. Wallner of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor."In team-based cancer care, oncology care teams work together with primary care and other specialty care teams to ensure patients receive high-quality, coordinated cancer care," she said.

IndyCar driver Pippa Mann's breast cancer awareness efforts recognized in 'The List'Brian Spurlock/USA TODAY Sports Pippa Mann and Dale Coyne Racing have turned pink for the past three Indy 500 races to raise awareness and funds for Susan G. Komen.Anyone who has watched the Indianapolis 500 the past few years knows Pippa Mann as the upbeat British driver whose pink car, fire suit and helmet bring attention to Susan G. Komen and the fight against breast cancer.What they may not know is that Mann's pink racing program is authentically about the cause and not merely forging partnerships to get the financing needed to race.In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Susan G. Komen has kicked off a "More Than Pink" campaign and introduced "The List," a group of "everyday heroes, scientists, advocates, community leaders, athletes, musicians and public figures" who are being honored for their impact in working with women and men facing breast cancer.

Working night shifts unlikely to increase breast cancer risk
Working night shifts unlikely to increase breast cancer risk
New research has found that working night shifts has little or no effect on a woman's breast cancer risk despite a review in 2007 by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifying shift work disrupting the 'body clock' as a probable cause of cancer.At the time of the 2007 classification there was limited evidence about breast cancer risk in humans so the classification was mainly based on a combination of animal and lab studies.The new research, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute today and funded by the UK Health and Safety Executive, Cancer Research UK and the UK Medical Research Council, examined whether night shift work increased women's breast cancer risk by following 1.4 million women in ten studies and seeing if they developed breast cancer."Research over the past years suggesting there was a link has made big headlines, and we hope that today's news reassures women who work night shifts."
