One in eight women in the U.S. will receive a diagnosis of breast cancer, meaning that you or someone you know likely will face the disease. When cast in such personal terms, that statistic can lead to a host of questions. And City of Hope has answers.
During City of Hope’s live TweetChat on Oct. 15, Laura Kruper, M.D., director of City of Hope’s Rita Cooper Finkel and J. William Finkel Women’s Health Center, discussed breast cancer prevention, risks, treatments, lifestyle changes and much more under the hashtag #BreastChat.

A patient expert also will provide insight on the disease, based on her breast cancer treatment at City of Hope.
