Drug Treatments for Breast Cancer Prevention

<p>Though studies have been undertaken since the 90s showing the efficacy of drug treatments for breast cancer prevention, there remains a big gap in knowledge in both primary and secondary care units that these preventative treatments exist. Despite this, drugs such as Tamoxifen are both extremely safe and provide protection long after the suggested five-year course of treatment.&nbsp;</p> <p>Produced in collaboration with Health Innovation Manchester and featuring a panel consisting of breast surgeon Ms Rosie Stanton; Macmillan GP Clinical Cancer Lead Dr Nicola Weaver; Dr Sacha Howel, medical oncologist and Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester; and Dr Gareth Evans, professor of medical genetics and cancer epidemiology at the University of Manchester, this podcast aims to give surgeons and other health care professionals an overview of the treatments available, how they work and which groups of patients would most benefit from them.</p> <p>To send us feedback or propose a topic for a future podcast, please get in touch at podcasts@rcseng.ac.uk</p> <p>Visit <a href="https://healthinnovationmanchester.com/">Health Innovation Manchester</a> for more information on their suite of breast cancer prevention learning resources</p>
