Some patients with breast cancer face unacceptable delays
Some patients with breast cancer are waiting up to 12 weeks for diagnosis and treatment, despite the introduction of a two week wait initiative by the government, suggest researchers in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-05-22)
New hereditary breast cancer gene discovered
A new hereditary breast cancer gene has been discovered by scientists at the Lundberg Laboratory for Cancer Research and the Plastic Surgery Clinic at the Sahlgrenska Academy in Sweden. view more (2007-04-26)
MRC Scientists Find Better Way to Predict the Outcome of Breast Cancer Following Surgery
MRC Scientists have found a better way to predict the outcome of breast cancer following surgery which might lead to the improved management of the disease. The discovery, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, complements the methods doctors currently use to predict the outcome of breast cancer following surgery in order to choose the... view more...

Looping genes may hold a key to understanding breast cancer
Another piece of the puzzle that is breast cancer has been found by University of Queensland researchers. view more (2008-04-09)
DACH1 a key protein for tumor suppression in ER+ breast cancer
Researchers from the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson have identified a protein relationship that may be an ideal treatment target for ER+ breast cancer. view more (2009-07-15)
Stress not linked to breast cancer relapse
Women with breast cancer need not fear that stressful experiences in life will bring about the return of their disease, conclude researchers in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-06-12)
High risk of breast cancer associated with genetic variation in leptin and its receptor
Individuals with either of two genetic variations that lead to high serum levels of the cytokine leptin and to overexpression of leptin in fatty tissue, are more at risk of developing breast cancer than others. view more (2006-02-21)
T-beta-RIII joins the fight against breast cancer
Although the soluble factor TGF-beta has been shown to suppress the growth of tumor cells in the early stages of breast cancer, high levels of TGF-beta during the later stages of the disease are associated with a poor outcome. view more (2006-12-08)
Weight gain may increase risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women
Weight gain, particularly after menopause, is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in women. view more (2006-07-12)
Why cisplatin kills breast cancer cells when other drugs fail
The cancerous cells of some individuals with breast cancer lack expression of two cell surface proteins, the estrogen and progesterone receptors, and do not express increased amounts of HER2. view more (2007-04-20)
Aromatase inhibitors: A treatment of choice for advanced breast cancer patients
Aromatase inhibitors improve the survival of advanced breast cancer patients compared to standard hormone therapies like tamoxifen. view more (2006-09-20)
Cholesterol levels and use of lipid-lowering drugs are not associated with breast cancer risk
Cholesterol levels and use of statins or other lipid-lowering drugs are not associated with breast cancer risk, according to a study in the October 24 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2005-10-25)
Drop in breast cancer incidence linked to hormone use, not mammograms
A recent decline in breast cancer incidence is unlikely to be caused by a decrease in mammography screening. view more (2007-08-15)
Genes set scene for metastasis
Biologists at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) have identified a set of genes expressed in human breast cancer cells that work together to remodel the network of blood vessels at the site of the primary tumor. view more (2007-04-12)
BREAST CANCER DOES NOT INCREASE RISK OF COLORECTAL CANCER
Women with a history of breast cancer are not at an increased risk of colorectal cancer, conclude authors of a study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. A history of breast cancer has been reported as a risk factor for colorectal cancer in women. However, in view of the ambiguous nature of existing evidence and the growing interest in... view more...

Age is an independent risk factor in young women with breast cancer
A 30 year old woman diagnosed with breast cancer has the same chance of survival as a 60 year old woman with breast cancer according to the latest findings presented today at the European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC-5). view more (2006-03-23)
Abortions do not increase risk of breast cancer
It is known that previous pregnancy decreases the risk of breast cancer. But a new dissertation from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows that even brief pregnancies terminated prior to full term can have a certain preventive effect. The results could not confirm several earlier studies showing that the risk of developing breast cancer... view more... (2004-01-26)
Molecular pathway linked to breast cancer recurrence
A study published in the September issue of Cancer Cell provides new evidence for a genetic pathway that is involved in the recurrence of breast cancer and identifies a potential target for development of new anticancer therapeutics. view more (2005-09-20)
New Herceptin results confirm impressive reduction in risk of cancer returning
New Herceptin results confirm impressive reduction in risk of cancer returning in women with aggressive form of early-stage breast cancer. view more (2005-09-14)
MRI Superior to Mammography for Screening Women at High Risk for Breast Cancer
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast is significantly more sensitive than mammography and ultrasound for diagnosing familial breast cancer, according to researchers at Germany's University of Bonn. view more (2003-06-12)
