Evidence on the Management of TNBC in Older Women
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is associated with poor outcome. Treatment is limited to the use of chemotherapy to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Recent guidelines indicate that data are too limited to make recommendations on the use of adjuvant chemotherapy. Read more.

Hemorrhage Risk Among BC Patients Receiving Tamoxifen, DOACs
Breast cancer (BC) is associated with an increased annual venous thromboembolic risk of 2% to 6% and a twofold elevated risk of atrial fibrillation. Tamoxifen has a boxed warning about the risk of serious life-threatening and fatal events. Learn more about a recent study that offers pharmacists encouraging evidence of the potential safety of tamoxifen/direct oral-acting anticoagulant (DOAC) co-administration.
