Breast Cancer: Risks and Myths | Paul Sylvester | TEDxULM

We may not know everything about breast cancer, but we have a great amount of research on the risk factors. Dr. Sylvester shares with us how to decrease our chance of developing breast cancer in the hopes that we can reduce the prevalence of the most common cancer in women.

Dr. Sylvester received his B.S. degree in Biology from Western Michigan University, in Kalamazoo, MI and his Ph.D. in Physiology from Michigan State University in East Lansing, MI. He completed his postdoctoral training in Experimental Therapeutics at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, NY. Prior to his arrival at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, Dr. Sylvester was a faculty member for 10 years in the College of Pharmacy at Washington State University in Pullman, WA.

Dr. Sylvester is an endocrinologist and his research interests have focused on endocrine-dependent diseases, particularly breast cancer. Dr. Sylvester and his collaborators have also been awarded 4 U.S. and international patents and has several additional patents pending review.
