Onco-surgeon Dr. Arnold Baskies, member of the Board of Directors of the American Society of Breast Surgeon, past-chairman of the National Board of Directors of the American cancer Society, advisory member of the Global Breast cancer Initiative with the World Health Organization, discussed the latest developments in the fight against breast cancer. We discussed the differing benefits of early detection, prevention and research into cures and the American cancer Society’s role in increasing awareness and reducing deaths.  He also discussed his current role with UE Life Sciences, a non-profit corporation developing consumer products that can detect changes in breast tissues, helping lead to earlier diagnosis.  He also discussed the ongoing efforts of the American Cancer Society, WHO and other global partners, in bringing early screening, treatment and prevention efforts to women underserved by healthcare, in underdeveloped countries and women in the US who are impacted by location and ongoing social determinants.  For more information go to CANCER.org
