October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. So, it seems fitting to share some of the exciting developments underway at Fred Hutch Cancer Center — innovative research focused on improving detection, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer. The highlights in this issue of Look Beyond represent some of the science being done every day by hundreds of research teams across dozens of disease areas — science with lifesaving potential, made possible through the generous support of partners like you. We simply couldn't do it without you. Sincerely, Keri Balmer Senior Executive Director, Annual Giving <https://awa-fred-hutch.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/2024.10/s1-img.png> <https://awa-fred-hutch.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/2024.10/ele.png> As our anniversary draws near in 2025, we’re looking beyond our first 50 years to breakthroughs that will pave the way to new cures. <https://awa-fred-hutch.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/2024.10/ele.png> <https://secure.fredhutch.org/site/R?i=3hXSndhZLv9n0Ce9Ndiz1sw2vl7qxRNkR_njzoLWnHNY4CEykFll-g> Collaboration Speeds Progress When it comes to expanding and accelerating breast cancer research, there’s no better place than Fred Hutch Cancer Center. From our early investigations into the genetic drivers of breast cancer to more recent research to develop artificial intelligence tools for early detection and advanced imaging to see cancer’s spread and help customize treatment plans, we continue to be at the leading edge of science that impacts the world. At the heart of it all is a team of innovators at Fred Hutch, drawing on expertise from a range of disciplines to create new, more precise diagnostics and treatments across the full spectrum of breast cancer subtypes. What’s more, by bringing together research and care in a continuous cycle of discovery, breakthroughs in the lab reach patients faster, and patients' responses to new treatments inform further exploration. And what we learn in one area — like breast cancer — fuels advances in other disease areas, accelerating progress for more patients, more quickly. <https://awa-fred-hutch.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/2024.10/s3-img-1.png> Kathleen Malone, PhD Breast Cancer Specialist Fred Huch and UW Medicine Statins and Breast Cancer Mortality Through support from partners like you, Kathleen Malone, PhD, a cancer epidemiologist at Fred Hutch and her team looked back at one study of 38,858 women, ages 66 years and older. They found that the use of statins (a drug known for reducing cholesterol and preventing heart attacks and strokes) following a breast cancer diagnosis, decreased the risk of death by breast cancer by 15% among female statin users. The next step is to validate these findings in a randomized clinical trial.

Since prompt follow-up after an abnormal screening is critical, Dr. Lawson is continuing to investigate the factors that may be contributing to this disparity — and ways to address them. “By researching areas of deficiency in our health care system, we can identify interventions that may really help patients,” Dr. Lawson says. Please give today to fuel disovery. <https://secure.fredhutch.org/site/R?i=nO5OhmGecjSajqgH_ENo-HFxl-o4GnaGZ0R61SXfFaQB5sI4oJpbIw> Create a Legacy of Impact October is National Estate Planning Awareness Month — a reminder to plan ahead to protect your loved ones and the causes you care about by creating or updating your estate plan.
