Life presents us with one decision after another, every hour, every day. Some decisions are simple, others are tough. Often, we don’t have all the information to make a well-informed decision, but we need to move forward. Yet information is only one aspect of making a decision. Other factors impacting the decision-making process are our emotions and the cognitive biases we bring to the table.

Endocrine therapy is a standard treatment for ER-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. Long-term, however, this treatment can lead to resistance that makes the cancer very hard to treat. Now a new combination therapy shows promise as a safe and effective treatment option for these patients. In a phase 2 clinical trial , researchers gave a combination of lasofoxifene and abemaciclib to patients with metastatic breast cancer whose disease had progressed after prior treatment.
