Breastfeeding is Safe After Treatment for BRCA-Positive Breast Cancer

A large international cohort study has found that women testing positive for the BRCA mutation who chose to breastfeed their babies after treatment for their breast cancer faced no additional risk to their cancer outcomes.    OncTimesTalk correspondent Peter Goodwin talked with Eva Blondeaux, MD, Medical Oncologist in the Epidemiology Unit at the IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino, Genoa, Italy, and the author of the study, after her presentation of the new data at the ESMO 2024 Congress.
