	Flavonoid-rich foods may blunt breast cancer risk tied to genetics Higher flavodiet scores were associated with lower breast cancer risk among 93,271 UK Biobank females followed for a median of 11.8 years. The inverse association was particularly evident in women with high genetic risk, but the observational study cannot prove causation.

	Allergies show a small but significant link to later cancer risk A systematic review and meta-analysis of 28 cohort-based studies found a weak but statistically significant association between allergic diseases and later cancer incidence. The signal was strongest in the Western Pacific region and among people with asthma, but high heterogeneity and limited subgroup evidence mean the findings require caution.

			FDA approves new therapy for double-positive metastatic breast cancer The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a new therapy regimen for patients with "double-positive" metastatic breast cancer based on results of the phase 3 PATINA study led by Otto Metzger, MD, Associate Medical Director of International Strategic Initiatives at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

			Japanese study links inherited genetic variants to multiple lung cancers Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and is generally thought to arise from mutations acquired over a lifetime through environmental exposures.

			New breast cancer classification system predicts immunotherapy response success The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has marked a paradigm shift in cancer treatment, yet a significant portion of breast cancer patients fail to respond to these therapies.

	Obesity drives distinct molecular pathway toward invasive breast cancer A novel study has found that obesity is associated with a distinct molecular program driving the transition from early-stage, premalignant breast lesions to invasive breast cancer.

	Persistent disparities found in preventive cancer care for sexual and gender minority populations New research has uncovered persistent disparities in preventive cancer care across different sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) populations.

	Sexual and gender minority populations are less likely to receive cancer screening A study reveals significant disparities in cancer screening rates among sexual and gender minorities, highlighting the need for equitable healthcare access.

	Estonian study highlights value of early genetic tests to identify hereditary cancer risks In 2013, Angelina Jolie inspired a wave of testing for pathogenic variants of the gene BRCA1 by announcing that she carried a variant which left her at such high risk of breast cancer, she chose a preventive mastectomy.

	New portable ultrasound device enhances breast cancer screening accuracy For people at high risk of developing breast cancer, yearly mammograms may not be enough to detect tumors early.

	New study identifies shared risk factors for breast cancer and atrial fibrillation Alcohol use and smoking were linked to breast cancer and atrial fibrillation/flutter in women ages 55 years and older in multiple regions of the world, according to new, independent research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access, peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.

	Toronto researchers uncover genetic drivers of triple negative breast cancer Researchers have solved a long-standing mystery of how abnormal chromosomes drive cancer, identifying 81 new genes involved in aggressive breast cancer.
