Young women with breast cancer often face uniquechallenges beyond their diagnosis, including long-term survivorship issues, fertility and family planning concerns, and a higher likelihood of aggressive cancers. But are their treatment pathways keeping up?

In this episode, we sit down with Belinda to discuss:

(04:14) How does OPTIMA-Young differ from existing treatment approaches?
(05:25) Why is it important to have an international collaborative approach?
(06:21) How will findings from OPTIMA-Young potentially change the way that we treat young breast cancer patients in the future?

Tune in for a deep dive into this important research.
