Getting accurate images of #BreastCancer is essential for choosing the right treatment.
That’s why a CCS-funded #research team is testing a new imaging method that shows tumours more clearly than current scans, offering hope for better outcomes for people with #cancer.

Exciting news from this #ClinicalTrial! #Cancer research funded by an international partnership involving @cancersociety.bsky.social and many others has shown that people on endocrine therapy following #BreastCancer can safely interrupt treatment to permit pregnancy.
#ESMO25 The latest results from the #POSITIVE study show that temporary interruption of #endocrinetherapy for pregnancy does not add risk of #breastcancer recurrence at 6 yrs median FU. Most pts resumed ET per protocol. @etop_ibcsg @OncoAlert @oncodaily

At @cancersociety.bsky.social we’re proud to support Dr Aaron Goodarzi’s research into how radon exposure can contribute to #LungCancer. Recently, his work revealed that nail clippings can noninvasively reveal when someone has been exposed to high levels of radon: is.gd/VXv2CH
Toenails tell toxic tale of radon gas for U of C scientists
U of C scientists are collecting Calgarians' toenails to track the prevalence of lung cancer from radon gas.
