Breast cancer rates are up especially in those under 50, but death rates are down
Manage episode 447477638 series 3476315
We’re nearing the end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Here’s the good news: breast cancer deaths are declining. A new report from the American Cancer Society finds half a million lives have been saved since 1989. At the same time, breast cancer diagnoses are becoming more common. They’re rising fastest in women younger than 50 years old.
Amanda Thiesen knows that personally. She got a phone call in 2021 when she was just 39 years old and was told she had stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Thiesen joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer along with Dr. Amy Krie, an oncologist specializing in breast cancer at Allina Health to talk about the state of breast cancer and research today.
