https://learnlooklocate.com/understanding-the-types-of-breast-cancer-why-they-matter/ Did you know there are many different types of breast cancer? From invasive ductal carcinoma and lobular cancer to HER2-positive, triple-negative, inflammatory, and even male breast cancer — each type behaves differently and requires specific treatment. Understanding your breast cancer type helps you make informed decisions about your care and prognosis. In this Learn Look Locate video, we share insights from Dr. Charles Weaver and new blog resources that explain breast cancer types in a clear, patient-friendly way. Education, awareness, and early detection save lives. Follow Learn Look Locate for more empowering information and survivor stories.
Dr. Weaver received his medical training at the University of Pennsylvania, National Institutes of Health, and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. He served five years as the Chief Medical Officer of a publicly traded Physician Practice Management (PPM) company, where he created a national stem cell transplant and clinical trials research network and developed cancer treatment strategies, educational programs, and management pathways used by over 750 oncologists in the U.S. He developed the FHCRC clinical trials outreach program and the first national physician investigator organization facilitating the movement of industry-regulatory clinical trials into the private sector. He remains actively engaged in strategic consulting around all aspects of clinical trials design and recruitment.
Cynthia Jordan, Founder of Learn Look Locate LLC in 2018 has generated a global movement to provide critical education for the early detection of breast cancer. It is estimated that one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. While most of these cases are diagnosed in women over the age of 50, the disease can affect women of any age. Early detection is critical to survival, yet many women are not familiar with the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
We advocate the importance of self-breast exams, what to look for when performing a self-exam, and when to see a doctor. We provide resources for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as for their families and friends.
The five-year survival rate for women who catch their cancer early is nearly 100%. Here’s an important statistic. Many women do not perform self-breast exams or see a doctor for regular screenings. Learn Look Locate LLC wants to highlight the work of organizations around the world that are working to promote early detection of breast cancer. We will feature stories of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and share their journeys.
There are several ways to diagnose breast cancer, including mammograms, biopsies, and ultrasounds. Once breast cancer is diagnosed, there are a few treatment options available, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The best way to treat breast cancer is to catch it early and to get the best treatment possible.
There is a strong community of women who have been affected by breast cancer. In addition, there are a number of organizations and resources available to help women find the support they need.
Learn Look Locate LLC provides resources for women who want to get involved in the fight against breast cancer.
