breast cancer

Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic have announced they are launching the next phase of a study designed to develop a vaccine to prevent triple-negative breast cancer, the most lethal and aggressive form of the disease.

A new Ohio law is expanding access to extra breast cancer screenings for people with an increased risk for breast cancer or who have dense breast tissue, which can make it more difficult for doctors to see cancer with a regular mammogram.

University Hospitals Portage Medical Center has received $1 million to establish a new breast health center from federal funding and local donations, the hospital announced Tuesday.

A House-passed bill mandates insurers pay for better cancer screening in some situations.

There are currently no approved vaccines for breast cancer, which affects 1 in 8 women.

If found to be effective, the shot could become part of women's routine health care.
