## Summary

FOX News Media and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation held a panel during Breast Cancer Awareness Month to discuss research, treatment and the importance of taking an active role in healthcare. Kat Timpf, a breast cancer survivor, said misconceptions can stop people asking doctors questions and urged women to keep up with recommended screenings and speak up about health concerns.

Timpf was diagnosed with Stage 0 ductal carcinoma in situ in February 2025, about 15 hours before giving birth to her first child; she said humour helped her cope. BCRF research director Dr Priya Malhotra said breast cancer rates are rising among younger women, who account for about 10% of cases. BCRF estimates that around one in eight US women will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime.
