Cancer has long been considered a disease of aging. But diagnoses among adults under 50 are rising significantly, and breast cancer is a major driver of that increase. In this Next Question episode, presented by Eli Lilly and Company, Katie speaks with Dr. Mary Beth Terry, professor of epidemiology and environmental sciences at Columbia University and Executive Director of the Silent Spring Institute, about what may be fueling this troubling trend. They discuss the latest research on breast cancer risk, including the potential role of environmental exposures, lifestyle factors, and genetics. Later, Katie is joined by Ali Feller, host of the Ali on the Run Show, who shares her experience being diagnosed with breast cancer at 38 and what it’s been like to navigate motherhood while living with Stage 4 disease.
