New study highlights risks of anti-ERBB2 cancer drugs during pregnancy

Study finds that anti-ERBB2 inhibitors used in breast cancer treatment pose significant risks to pregnancy and fetal health, including higher likelihoods of congenital defects and intrauterine growth restriction. Researchers recommend careful monitoring and possibly discontinuing these drugs during pregnancy despite their effectiveness against cancer.

Blood test detects cancer earlier in individuals with Li-Fraumeni syndrome

Researchers from The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR) and University Health Network (UHN) have demonstrated that by analyzing patients' blood samples, they are able to detect cancer earlier in individuals with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, an inherited condition with an almost 100 percent life-time risk of developing cancer.

Finding and targeting dormant tumor cells to prevent breast cancer recurrence

While breast cancer survival continues to improve, thanks to advances in detection and treatment, when breast cancer recurs – or returns after initial treatment – it is incurable.
