This week, I had the opportunity to engage in discussions with members of Dr. Newman’s lab about the details of the ongoing immersion projects. It was incredibly insightful to hear different perspectives on the project and explore what aspects of it could be particularly interesting and worthy of further investigation. The exchange of ideas with the team sparked new thoughts about the potential avenues for research and also how our my future research could contribute to a deeper understanding of breast cancer treatment.
I also attended the ICSBCS Breast Surgery Didactic Lecture. Dr. Mark Robson’s presentation on the management of women with a monogenic breast cancer predisposition was particularly fascinating. He shared statistical data comparing the effectiveness of different management strategies, providing a picture of how clinical guidelines are developed and tailored for individuals at higher risk for developing breast cancer. This lecture emphasized the importance of preemptive care and early interventions, particularly for those with a genetic predisposition but who have not yet been diagnosed with cancer. Dr. Robson’s approach to developing risk management plans for these patients was eye-opening, highlighting strategies that aim to either prevent cancer or mitigate its effects if it does occur.
Moreover, I attended a breast cancer case discussion conference. It was enlightening to see how doctors collaborate to make clinical decisions regarding patient treatment. The decision engaged many factors ranging from evaluating diagnostic data to discussing treatment options. I found it fascinating to learn about the tools and methodologies that help medical professionals weigh the pros and cons of various treatment options.
