I had the privilege of speaking with Katrece Nolan, a breast cancer survivor from Northern Virginia. We had such a lovely and long conversation that I ended up producing this episode in two parts. Today we dive into Katrece's compelling story with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). Diagnosed in her late 30s, Katrece's story began with a simple observation of asymmetry in her breasts, which led her to seek medical attention. Despite initial challenges in getting timely appointments, her persistence paid off when she was diagnosed with IBC, a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer.Katrece detailed the rigorous treatment process, which included chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation, emphasizing the importance of having knowledgeable doctors and advocating for oneself. She also highlighted the emotional and logistical challenges of managing a cancer diagnosis while raising three young children, and the critical role of community and family support.Katrece's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-advocacy, the need for specialized knowledge in treating rare cancers. In part II (EPS 423), we celebrate Katrece's survivorship of 11+ years and what survivorship and surveillance look like for those diagnosed with breast cancer. SURVIVINGBREASTCANCER.ORGAttend a free virtual SurvivingBreastCancer.org event:https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/eventsFollow us on InstagramSurvivingBreastCancer.org: https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/Breast Cancer Conversations: https://www.instagram.com/breastcancerconversations/About SurvivingBreastCancer.org: SurvivingBreastCancer.org, Inc.

“Inflammatory breast cancer is very aggressive and rare and a lot of times the diagnosis can be missed,” said Margaret Gatti-Mays, MD, MPH, a medical oncologist who specializes in breast cancer and is one of the leaders of the Stefanie Spielman Comprehensive Breast Center's Inflammatory Breast Cancer Program. In this episode, she explains that this rare form of breast cancer “accounts for less than 2 percent of all breast cancers, adding that “one-third of all inflammatory breast cancers will be metastatic [when first diagnosed] while only 5 percent of the more typical types of breast cancer we see are metastatic [when first diagnosed].” One of the reasons inflammatory breast cancer is initially misdiagnosed is that the symptoms “are non-specific,” Gatti-Mays said. “The onset is rapid and includes redness in the breast, or it can be pink, red or purple, and appear over one-third of the breast, as well as a rapid swelling of the breast; it feels full and swollen and the skin of the breast looks like an orange peel, with dimpling.” These symptoms can be misdiagnosed as mastitis or duct ectasia, which are more common and non-cancerous. Mastitis and duct ectasia are initially treated with anti-biotics. “If the symptoms don't improve, I encourage women to come to the Stefanie Spielman Comprehensive Breast Center,” Gatti-Mays said. “We have a diagnostic clinic and patients can self-refer and get imaging. Because of how aggressive inflammatory breast cancer is, there's a sense of urgency to get a biopsy, make a diagnosis and evaluate if it has spread.” The team that comprises the Spielman's Inflammatory Breast Cancer Program are experts in diagnosing and treating this type of cancer. “Breast cancer care has become more complicated and having a team at a comprehensive cancer center is important to identify patients who need to start treatment immediately.” Treatment options include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. Soon after she arrived at the Spielman, Gatti-Mays treated a pregnant woman with inflammatory breast cancer. “That drove me to want to learn more and figure out how to better treat these patients,” she said. “I realized a lot of my Spielman colleagues shared this interest” and this led to the formation of the Inflammatory Breast Cancer Program. “As a physician-scientist, I can say with absolute certainty that the patients I see in my clinic gives me the fuel we need to push forward and do better and better.”

A new editorial paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on June 12, 2023, entitled, “ERβ as a mediator of estrogen signaling in inflammatory breast cancer.” In this new editorial, researchers Harika Nagandla and Christoforos Thomas from Houston Methodist Neal Cancer Center discuss inflammatory breast cancer (IBC)—a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer which accounts for 2–4% of all new breast cancer cases detected in the United States. Even with the application of standard multi-modality treatment approach that incorporates neoadjuvant chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, the 5-year survival rate for IBC is only about 40–50%. Breast cancer can be typically stratified into different types based on the presence of molecular drivers such estrogen receptor (ERα), progesterone receptor (PR) or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), which inform the treatment choice. For IBC, there is a substantially higher incidence of ERα negativity compared with other forms of breast cancer that can reach up to 60%. A specific targetable driver signaling pathway has not been identified so far. About one in three patients already have distant metastasis at the time of diagnosis, contributing to the aggressiveness and poor outcomes associated with IBC. Despite the absence of ERα from the majority of IBC tumors, estrogen signaling has been implicated in progression of the disease through ERα-independent pathways. ERβ is a ligand activated transcription factor that mediates effects of estrogen, along with ERα in different tissues during growth and development by regulating transcription of target genes. Tumor suppressive effects of ERβ have been documented in diverse cancer types such as thyroid, kidney, prostate, glioblastoma, ovarian and breast cancer. “The work from our group [6] establishes ERβ as a tumor suppressor in IBC by demonstrating its strong antimetastatic activity in preclinical models of the disease and delineating the mechanism of action.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28425 Correspondence to - Christoforos Thomas - cthomas3@houstonmethodist.org Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://oncotarget.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Foncotarget.28425 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Oncotarget - https://www.oncotarget.com/subscribe/ Keywords - inflammatory breast cancer, IBC, ERβ, metastasis, actin based cell migration About Oncotarget Oncotarget is a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal.

We discuss Inflammatory Breast Cancer. A rare form of breast cancer that affects less than 5% of those diagnosed with breast cancer. Ginny Mason, from the Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation, was given a 3% chance of making it to 5 years. Today she is sharing her story 23 years later and the important research taking place in the IBC space.

As with any major illness, breast cancer can have effects beyond the person who is diagnosed and the death of a parent can be one of the most significant losses that someone will ever face. This is particularly true for young adults in their twenties, who are still learning to navigate life and fully transition into an independent adult. Loss, grief and mourning affects everyone in different ways and it can be a challenge to learn how to cope and seek support. Today's guest was thriving in life and working the job of his dreams when he lost his mother to Inflammatory Breast Cancer. He then found himself shutting down from his family, his faith and even himself in the years that followed. He bravely fought his way back and is now honoring his Mom by running marathons and raising money for Susan G. Komen.

Inflammatory Breast Cancer is a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer that can often be mistaken for an infection or rash. Today's guest went to the doctors thinking that she was simply having an allergic reaction. Luckily, her medical team was well versed in IBC and knew that what they were looking at was far more serious than a rash. Here today to share her story of living with Metastatic Inflammatory Breast Cancer and how she is fighting cancer every single day in order to live out her hopes, dreams and plans is Beth Porreca. Beth, welcome to the show!

About 1-5 percent of breast cancers in the U.S are Inflammatory Breast Cancer. This is an aggressive form of breast cancer, with signs that tend to arise quickly, often within weeks or months. The main symptoms of IBC are swelling and redness in the breast, and IBC can be hard to see on a mammogram because it may only show up as a sign of inflammation. Because of this and the frequent lack of a breast lump, IBC may first be mistaken for an infection or mastitis. Today's guest today is Amy Capello. Amy was diagnosed with Stage 3 IBC at the age of 38 and is here to help educate us on this rare disease in hopes that it can help other women to recognize it more quickly, and to share her refreshing perspective on life since her diagnosis. Amy, welcome to the show!

Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is rare and accounts for only 1% to 5% of all breast cancers, but it is considered an aggressive cancer because it grows quickly and is more likely to come back after treatment than other types of breast cancer. It causes symptoms of breast inflammation like swelling and redness, which is caused by cancer cells blocking lymph vessels in the skin causing the breast to look "inflamed." Gayathri R. Devi, PhD, is a two-time American Cancer Society grantee who recently received a Mission Boost Grant to “boost” her inflammatory breast cancer research and move it closer to patients. Dr. Devi joined the podcast to talk about risk factors for IBC, how it's different from other breast cancer types, and recent advances in her lab with promising clinical implications. Dr. Devi is Program Director for the Duke Consortium for Inflammatory Breast Cancer, Associate Professor of Surgery and Pathology at Duke School of Medicine, and the Director of the Duke North Carolina Central University bridge office as part of the Duke School of Medicine Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute. 3:18 – The symptoms and signs of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) 6:34 – How inflammatory breast cancer differs from other, more common breast cancers 9:36 – Risk factors for inflammatory breast cancer 14:22 –Instead of a single tumor mass, IBC patients have small groups of tumor cells called emboli found in the breast, skin and lymph nodes around the breast tissue. What are emboli? How do they form? 16:00 – Why do emboli form in this way? 18:51 – What makes these emboli resistant to treatment and able to spread? 21:43 – On her ACS-funded research, which focuses on the environment in which the IBC emboli form, in the breast. Why is the breast environment so important? 28:35 – Adaptive stress response 31:15 – “I'll give you an example here and talk a little about our research findings that are clinically relevant.” 38:25 – How do we target inflammatory breast cancer therapeutically? 40:47 – The 3M approach: Models, Mechanisms, and Measures 45:30 – If she could wave a magic anti-IBC wand, where would we be in 5 years? 48:27 – The impact that ACS funding has had on this area of research 49:54 – “Another very important distinction about ACS…” 51:47 – How inflammatory breast cancer recently affected her family

Samantha McDevitt was diagnosed with stage 3 inflammatory breast cancer. One day she noticed swelling of her entire breast. 2 days later, she got pain in her lower arm, but she thought that might be due to her workouts. But slowly, Samantha felt things were not right, so she went to the gynaecologist, who suggested she go for mammograms and ultrasounds. The reports showed that she had inflammatory breast cancer, and then she started her treatment. She went through 6 chemotherapy cycles and mastectomy. She tells everyone not to give up and appreciate the small things in life. Cancer is not a death sentence, be hopeful. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Caroline McGuirk is an inflammatory breast cancer patient at Dana Farber.  Caroline was experiencing some skin changes on her right breast beginning in September 2020. While it wasn't overly alarming, she thought she had an infection, which the Web told her often clears itself.  She underwent 20 weeks of chemotherapy, followed by modified radical mastectomy and then 6 weeks of radiation. Dr Fliipa Lynce received her medical degree from the Universidada Nova de Lisboa, Portugal in 2004. In 2020 she joined the staff of Dana-Farber Caner Institute and Brigham Women's Hospital, where she is a medical oncologist and clinical investigator in the Breast Oncology Center  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week you meet Sarah. She is an IBC cancer survivor. She is a wonder and sweet woman and a wealth of knowledge on this very rare type of breast cancer. She shares how she found her cancer and her bad ass survival journey! BAYS (Bay Area Young Survivors) - for anyone under the age of 45 who has faced or is facing breast cancer in the Bay Area: https://www.baysnet.org/ Finding this group in the beginning was a lifesaver, since it was during the pandemic there were not in person meetings or retreats, but I was able to join the slack group for support, and join the virtual meetups. IBC Network - Specifically regarding inflammatory breast cancer: https://www.theibcnetwork.org/ This was a great resource Sarah, the internet is scary, and the statistics she found for my type of cancer were terrifying, and found out later that it was outdated by 10 years, so a lot has changed. This website offered a source of hope, there are survivor stories, and patient resources, learning tools, etc. Young Survival Coalition: https://www.youngsurvival.org/ Another great resource for young individuals going through a cancer diagnosis, lots of great resources found here. A few other things that were so helpful: Received a free cap wig from the Verma Foundation, I love it and it came in so handy when battling cancer and going through chemo with two little ones: https://vermafoundation.org/ Reached out to Operation Ohana, and received beautiful books that are written for children to help them understand what I was going through, cancer, treatment, etc.: https://operationohana.org/ohana-reads Find Sarah: IG @sarah2reyes --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mycancerstorypodcast/support

About 1-5 percent of breast cancers in the U.S are Inflammatory Breast Cancer.  This is an aggressive form of breast cancer, with signs that tend to arise quickly, often within weeks or months. There are some challenges of diagnosing IBC, such as the fact that it may first be mistaken for an infection or mastitis because of its symptoms.  Routine mammography may also miss IBC because of its rapid onset.  Our guest today is Sara Diemer, who is here to share  her story of living with Inflammatory Breast Cancer and to help educate us on the signs and symptoms of this rare disease, in hopes that it can help other women to recognize it more quickly.   Sara, welcome to the show!

Cancer always catches us off guard and throws wrenches in plans, but rarely are plans so deeply and quickly impacted as when one is already in the middle of a major life transition, as with today's guest, who was 14 weeks pregnant with her first child when she was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer. Alessandra joins us to share her experience navigating life as a pregnant cancer patient. We're so glad to have her here to speak about her pain, joy, fear, and excitement throughout this unique journey, and we're so excited to welcome her son Luca into the world!

This is an interview with Esther, diagnosed with a Stage III, locally advanced, inflammatory breast cancer in her 40's.  She shares how she coped, what she learned, and how it has changed her.  This is an inspiring and uplifting story, and I am honored to share her journey with you. It's a long one, but I didn't want to cut any of it!!!

What is the process of handling breast cancer? How should one's mindset be once they are diagnosed? What is the journey like? This episode is a little bit different, but probably one of the most important. In this show, my Auntie Jenica von Kuster describes her battle with Inflammatory Breast Cancer. This podcast is truly educational and inspiring. I hope all the viewers are able to take something away from this show.

Lindsay Thul was only 28 when she was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer, a rare and aggressive disease. She died 10 months later at age 29 at her Davenport, Iowa home. Her mother, Diane Koster, talks about this difficult journey – much of which is chronicled in a book released in spring 2020 she co-authored with her daughter called Lindsay's Legacy: A Mother's Memories. Lindsay's contribution to the book derives from dozens of GoFundMe posts she wrote to help pay for medical expenses as well as raise awareness about the disease.Since the book's release Lindsay's Legacy Fund was established through Genesis Health System, which serves a 17-county, bi-state region of Iowa and Illinois. The fund's purpose is to help IBC patients who are burdened by the expense of tests, treatments, consultations, and travel. A portion of annual funds may also be directed to IBC research.Go to The IBC Network to learn more about Inflammatory Breast Cancer.The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is a leading facility for IBC research.

There are several different ‘flavors’ of breast cancer; and in today’s episode, we’ll learn more about a kind of breast cancer that doesn’t present itself as a lump. Inflammatory Breast Cancer, or IBC, is caused when cancer cells block vessels in the skin covering the breast. Although it is relatively rare, one out of three+ Read More

Alison Katz is from Maryland but after being diagnoses with inflammatory breast cancer, a rare kind of breast cancer that doesn’t present a lump, she and her family sought out breast cancer experts and landed at Dr. Beth Overmoyer, director of the IBC program at the Susan F. Smith Center for Women’s Cancers at Dana-Farber. Alison and Dr. Overmoyer discuss Alison’s treatment, why she came all the way to Boston from Maryland, and advancements in IBC research.

Inflammatory Breast Cancer, have you heard of it? Do you know what to look for? I had never heard of IBC in the grand scheme of getting diagnosed. I met Lindsey and she shared her story with me and I realized how much I didn't know about IBC. I figured if I didn't know even as a newly diagnosed cancer patient, how many others had never heard of this form of breast cancer? Lindsey talks about symptoms, treatments, and her experience.

Emily was diagnosed with stage 3 inflammatory breast cancer in April 2016. She had a swollen right breast and inverted nipple, off and on redness, and soreness varying in intensity.Unlike traditional breast cancers, inflammatory breast cancer does not present with a lump but rather with the symptoms Emily was experiencing.She was living in Miami at the time of her diagnosis but came to Dana-Farber for treatment with Dr. Beth Overmoyer. Emily grew up in Massachusetts and her dad was a pharmacist at Dana-Farber.Emily underwent chemotherapy for 5 months, a mastectomy, and radiation culminating just before Christmas 2016.Her family was essential during treatment. She lived with her brother in Central Mass throughout her treatment and her family was by her side every step of the way.Emily's friends from around the country and the world flew in to spend time with her, sent "insanely special" care packages along with daily messages and calls.Traveling has always been an important part of Emily's life, she lived abroad for the first time when she was 16 and constantly flew for work and to visit friends.Dr. Overmoyer approved a quick, 3-day trip in between her two chemotherapy regimens to the Bahamas with her close friends. The trip filled her with more energy to carry her through the end of her treatment, which was rough.Emily works as a literacy consultant.

Inflammatory Breast Cancer is a rare form of this cancer and it must be discussed and researched. Learn more from Terry Arnold in this interview.

Jennifer Millar is a preschool teacher from northern New Jersey. Last fall, she was experiencing swelling and irritation in her breast. She was treated for an infection. When it became clear that the antibiotics were not resolving her discomfort, Jenny was sent for a mammogram and ultrasound. She was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer called inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) in November 2016. Unlike traditional breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer is not characterized by a lump but by inflammation and tenderness in the breast. Inflammatory breast cancer is often more aggressive than other breast cancers and can be more difficult to treat. Jennifer moved her treatment to Dana-Farber with Dr. Beth Overmoyer who heads Dana-Farber's Inflammatory Breast Cancer program. Jennifer has undergone surgery, chemotherapy and is enrolled in a clinical trial. Jennifer has two small children, ages 3 and 6 – between work, breast cancer and being a mom, she doesn't have much free time. When she does get a chance to get away she likes to travel with her kids.Dr. Overmoyer launched the Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) Program at Dana-Farber in 2009, where she continues to serve as the principal investigator of many IBC research programs and clinical trials.
