MSK's Neil Iyengar will present at the American Association for Cancer Research special conference about the risk of invasive breast cancer. A new study found that the risk of invasive breast cancer is increased in postmenopausal women with a normal body mass index (BMI) but higher levels of body fat. These findings suggest that having a normal BMI can provide false reassurance regarding the risk of breast cancer associated with body fat, and they also highlight the potential role of physical activity and exercise even in those who are at a normal weight. For expert interviews, please contact Nicole H. McNamara at [email protected].

There is a clear and unmet need for less invasive and more accurate methods for diagnosing lung cancer. A promising innovation under investigation at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) is the electronic nose (e-nose), which evaluates volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath. The e-nose platform detects a lung cancer-associated “breathprint” in breath from individuals with lung cancer.
