    RT @LoiSher: ✨✨hot off the press from the #loilab. We show here that pregnancy & breastfeeding is associated with increased T cells in the normal breast and protection against #tnbc #breastcancer moving the role of immunity from treatment to prevention. 👏👏Thanks to @FAndreMD @DrChoueiri @MyriamChalabi for the opportunity to present #ESMO25 @OncoAlert @myESMO @PeterMacRes @PeterMacCC @UniMelb thanks to our funders @BCRFcure @TheMarkFdn @NBCFAus @Nature Article is here:
