Dr Eva Blondeaux speaks to ecancer about an international cohort study which looked into breastfeeding after breast cancer in young BRCA carriers.

She explains that pregnancy after breast cancer diagnosis and treatment is safe for patients carrying germline BRCA pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant, however there is no data on the feasibility and safety of breastfeeding in BRCA carriers.

Dr Blondeaux reports that this study shows that breastfeeding is feasible and safe with no difference in locoregional recurrence or second primary breast cancer events.
