Study Confirms Value Of Family-history Knowledge For Young Women With Breast Cancer (p 1101)
A UK study published as a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights the importance of detailed family-history knowledge to help identify women with pathogenic gene mutations for breast cancer. Women who carry mutations of BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 genes have a much higher lifetime risk of breast cancer-up to 80%-compared with... view more... (2003-03-26)
Newly Identified Gene Activated In 80% Of Breast Cancer Patients
New research, published this week in Breast Cancer Research, could provide a genetic explanation for breast cancer. A George Washington University Medical Center team, led by Patricia Berg, has discovered that the gene BP1 is activated in 80% of breast cancer patients. The researchers believe that this gene may offer a useful new target for early... view more... (2003-04-25)
Breast cancer conference calls for support for elderly patients and for independent academic research
Safeguarding academic research, improving individual risk assessment, greater attention to elderly cancer breast cancer patients, and a rethink on care after breast cancer were the four areas highlighted by participants at the 4th European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC-4) in Hamburg today (20 March 2004). Delegates used an electronic voting... view more... (2004-03-20)

Potential dangers of long term tamoxifen use
Tamoxifen prolongs the life of women with breast cancer and may significantly reduce the risk of developing the disease in those with an inherited tendency. But, suggests a leading article in the Journal of Clinical Pathology, long term use may produce other serious abnormalities, including cancer. view more (1999-02-12)
