Inflammatory Breast Cancer: Rare But Deadly
Host: Barbara Lewis
Interview: Bryan Paul Schneider, MD
Breast cancer researcher
Assistant professor of Medicine
Indiana University School of Medicine
Inflammatory breast cancer is an ultra aggressive form of breast cancer.
It’s tougher to diagnose and it affects a disproportionate number of younger women and African American women. And even though it is rare, it contributes to a high percentage of breast cancer deaths.
Bryan Schneider, MD, is a breast cancer researcher whose work on improving the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory breast cancer has attracted funding from both the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the Milburn Foundation.
Dr. Schneider speaks with Sound Medicine’s Dr. David Crabb about the best ways to recognize and treat this deadly cancer.
