Barry Rosen MD, FACS on The 2 Toughest Questions About Breast Cancer

learnlooklocate.com 📍 Barry Rosen MD highlights the potential of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing to detect cancer recurrences earlier than symptoms, with studies showing a 30% recurrence rate in breast cancer patients. Despite the rarity of false positives, ctDNA testing may not be suitable for everyone, and a PET scan may be necessary to confirm cancer recurrence in some cases.
Dr. Barry Rosen is a breast surgical oncologist in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, where he has been in practice for over 25 years. Simultaneously, he has worked as Chief Medical Officer for hospitals and industry and is currently a Medical Director at Aptitude Health.
Company Information:
Cynthia Jordan, Founder of Learn Look Locate LLC in 2018 has generated a global movement to provide critical education for the early detection of breast cancer. It is estimated that one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. While most of these cases are diagnosed in women over the age of 50, the disease can affect women of any age. Early detection is critical to survival, yet many women are not familiar with the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
We advocate the importance of self-breast exams, what to look for when performing a self-exam, and when to see a doctor. We provide resources for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as for their families and friends.
The five-year survival rate for women who catch their cancer early is nearly 100%. Here’s an important statistic. Many women do not perform self-breast exams or see a doctor for regular screenings. Learn Look Locate LLC wants to highlight the work of organizations around the world that are working to promote early detection of breast cancer. We will feature stories of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and share their journeys.
There are several ways to diagnose breast cancer, including mammograms, biopsies, and ultrasounds. Once breast cancer is diagnosed, there are a few treatment options available, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The best way to treat breast cancer is to catch it early and to get the best treatment possible.
There is a strong community of women who have been affected by breast cancer. In addition, there are a number of organizations and resources available to help women find the support they need.
Learn Look Locate LLC provides resources for women who want to get involved in the fight against breast cancer.

This was such an interesting and educational presentation. Thank you to Dr. Rosen and the host.

For all these patients and in particular those with circulating cancer cells, how about complementary metabolic therapy, ie ketogenic diet and fasting....

[@naemasufi]

yes. Intermittent fasting is good for me, also turkey tail
