Researchers Reveal Soya's Effects On Breast Tissue
Eating a diet rich in soya products such as tofu can affect the make-up of breast tissue, potentially reducing the risk of breast cancer, according to a new study* from Cancer Research UK. Scientists have previously suggested that soya intake might contribute to the low rates of breast cancer in countries like China and Japan but research has... view more... (2002-07-04)
Jefferson scientists show gene reverts cancer genes to normal, predicts breast cancer prognosis
Scientists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have shown that the activity of a gene that commandeers other cancer-causing genes, returning them to normal, can predict the prognosis of an individual with breast cancer. view more (2006-11-01)
