ORWH Women's Health Seminar Series: Tomosynthesis Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial (TMIST)
The Tomosynthesis Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial (TMIST) is a randomized breast screening trial that will help researchers learn about the best ways to find breast cancer in women who have no symptoms. It compares two Food and Drug Administration-approved types of digital mammography: standard digital mammography (2-D) with a newer technology called tomosynthesis mammography (3-D). Researchers are doing this trial because they do not know if 3-D mammography is better than 2-D mammography for breast cancer screening.For more information go tohttps://orwh.od.nih.gov/Air date: 6/20/2019 1:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

Mechanisms of breast cancer metastasis and targeting opportunities
Director's Seminar Series Cancer metastasis is the primary cause of cancer-associated death. Current treatment strategies have been largely ineffective in patients with metastatic disease. It ’ s becoming clear that the tumor microenvironment plays an essential role in the metastatic process. We investigate the critical inflammatory and immune suppressive mediators that promote metastatic cancer cell survival and colonization at distant organ site. Our work provides insights for metastatic biology and therapeutic options aimed at targeting metastatic breast cancer.Air date: 5/18/2018 12:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)
