Women are generally told that if they have a breast cancer diagnosis, they should steer clear of estrogen. In this episode, I have a conversation with Dr. Swati Kulkarni, the lead investigator of a new study in which women with a newly diagnosed breast ductal carcinoma in situ, DCIS, were given a month’s worth of hormone therapy before standard treatment to see the impact it would have on developing cancer cells.
- What DCIS is and how it is typically diagnosed.
- If DCIS is considered to be a pre-cancer or a cancer
- If DCIS is untreated, how often it will progress to invasive cancer
- If treated, how often women with DCIS go on to develop invasive cancer?
- Why this particular form of hormone therapy, conjugated estrogens and bazodoxifene (Duovee™) was used in the study
- The details of the study
- The results of the study
