Dr. Jane C. Wright pioneered research into the treatment of #BreastCancer with the drug methotrexate. Known as the “Godmother of Chemotherapy,” her work has saved millions of lives. Learn more: nationalbreastcancer.org/blog/dr-jane-c… @NBCF #WomenInHistory #CancerResearch

#BreastCancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in American women. Preventative measures can be taken to reduce the risk of breast cancer, such as exercising regularly and lowering alcohol intake. Learn more: cancer.gov/types/breast/p… @theNCI #CancerPreventionMonth

We are proud sponsors of the 2025 Stanford Drug Symposium (SDDS). Last year’s symposium was a pleasure to be part of, and we look forward to connecting with other members of the #DrugDiscovery community again. Learn more about #SDDS2025: med.stanford.edu/content/sm/cvi…

Over 13,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with #CervicalCancer each year, and more than 4,000 of these women pass away. Learn more about cervical cancer prevention: nccc-online.org/understanding-… @StopHPVCancer #CervicalCancerAwareness

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has different receptors from most types of #BreastCancer and a high rate of recurrence. #TNBC lacks the receptors doctors typically target when treating breast cancer and cannot be treated by targeting them. Learn more: mdanderson.org/cancerwise/tri…

Breast surgery patients may experience pain and stiffness, limiting arm and shoulder movement. Learn what exercises @AmericanCancer and the Oncology Section of @APTAtweets recommend for these side effects: cancer.org/cancer/types/b… #PhysicalTherapyMonth #BreastCancer #CancerRehab

#PhysicalTherapy can help patients improve strength, function, and independence during and after #CancerTreatment. For instance, those treated for gynecologic cancer can use physical therapy for lymphedema, scar-tissue treatment, and more. Learn more: fredhutch.org/en/patient-car…

#OvarianCancer is usually only detected at an advanced stage. Recognizing potential symptoms and reporting them to a professional can increase the likelihood of an earlier diagnosis and successful treatment. Learn more: cancer.org/cancer/types/o… #OvarianCancerAwarenessMonth

. @ocrahope has invested over $122 million in ovarian and related gynecologic research. Their support has led to great progress in understanding, preventing, and treating ovarian and other gynecological cancers. Get involved: ocrahope.org/get-involved/ #OvarianCancerAwarenessMonth

While chemotherapy can work well for #OvarianCancer at first, the cancer reoccurs in 70-90% of cases and can grow resistance. Understanding why this happens is essential to learning how we can combat #TreatmentResistance in ovarian cancer. Learn more: ovarian.org.uk/our-research/r…

.@OHSUKnight researchers create the first drug to inhibit YB-1, a pro-oncogenic protein linked to cancer treatment resistance. This #DrugDiscovery exhibits anti-tumor activity, setting its game-changing potential in the fight against #TNBC. Read more: discoverybiotech.com/newsroom

A @UPMC study found that targeting the protein follistatin improved chemotherapy response in ovarian cancer and increased survival rates in the mouse model. How will their findings impact future human clinical trials? Learn more: inside.upmc.com/chemotherapy-r… @AsherGJones #Oncology
