You're going to. The Welcome to Symptomatic. Today we're recording from the 2024 Asco American Society of

Clinical Oncology annual Meeting Talking About Breast Cancer.

One in eight women will navigate a diagnosis of breast cancer during their lifetime,

and it accounts for nearly one-third of all cancer cases and women.

I am joined by two esteemed warriors

in the battle against breast cancer.

Dr Nan Chen, breast medical oncologist

at University of Chicago Medicine, where she is also an assistant professor of medicine, and Dr. Sarah Schoubac, a surgeon who specializes in breast cancer, also at the University of Chicago Medicine, where she is an assistant professor

of surgery.

Welcome, doctors, thank you so much for joining me.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for having us.

Before we even dive in, I would love to ask both of you, what drew you to breast cancer as a specialty?

And Dr. Chin, why don't you start?

Sure.

I initially became really interested in oncology

because I really liked the idea that we were taking care of the whole patient.

I just thought that it was really mentally fascinating and then there really was no relationship

that I enjoyed seeing more as a medical student than the relationship between a patient

oncologist. They just felt really important in their lives and I really felt like I wanted to be that person.

I think the simplest way to describe why I like breast cancers, I just really enjoy taking care of women.

I just think it's such a special group of people.
