Studies on HRT for breast cancer patients can give false hopes
Women treated for breast cancer who are considering taking Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) should be cautious when using published research to inform their decision. An article published today in the journal Breast Cancer Research reveals that qualitative studies on the recurrence of breast cancer in breast cancer survivors undergoing HRT are... view more...

Scientists are developing markers capable of spotting minute numbers of cancer cells in blood
Scientists have identified three molecular markers which, when used together, are capable of detecting minute amounts of metastatic cancer cells in the blood of patients. Although this research is in its early days, they hope it will lead to the development of a simple and easy test to spot cancer cells that are spreading from the original tumour.... view more...

Computer-aided detection with computed radiography effective in detecting breast cancer
The use of computer-aided detection (CAD) with computed radiography (CR) is effective in the detection of breast cancer, according to a recent study conducted by radiologists at George Washington University Medical Center in Washington, DC and iCAD in Nashua, NH. view more (2007-05-07)
Prototype Breast Cancer Imaging System May Improve Patient Care
A prototype breast imaging system combining positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies could greatly improve breast cancer imaging capabilities, according to researchers at SNM's 56th Annual Meeting. view more (2009-06-16)
Screening MRI allows detection of more breast cancers in high-risk women
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables radiologists to accurately identify tumors missed by mammography and ultrasound, according to a multicenter study comparing the three screening methods in women at high-risk for breast cancer. view more (2007-07-31)
Work absence after breast cancer diagnosis: A population-based study
Breast cancer is a very common malignancy with serious health effects that often involves women in the prime of their lives. view more (2005-09-27)
Breast cancer survivors optimistic, yet lack critical information on reducing recurrence
The majority of breast cancer survivors consider themselves stronger after having the disease, according to new survey results released today. However, the data also suggest women's knowledge about actions they can take to lessen the likelihood of recurrence is surprisingly low. view more (2007-09-26)
Breast density helps predict breast cancer risk
Two new models for assessing patients' risk of developing breast cancer focus on breast density as an important predictor, two studies report in the September 6 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2006-09-06)
Extra radiation dose prevents breast cancer return in young women
Women 40 years and younger with early-stage breast cancer who receive an additional high dose of radiation (boost dose) after undergoing breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) and standard radiation treatment are almost twice as likely to be free of cancer 10 years after treatment compared to those who don't receive the boost dose. view more (2007-10-30)
LA BioMed research finds simpler way to assess breast cancer risk
A new, simpler model for predicting breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women appears to be as accurate as a more complicated method currently used to decide if women would benefit from medication to reduce their risk of getting cancer, according to research published today in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2007-11-14)
Hormone mix could cut breast cancer risk and treat symptoms of menopause
The right combination of estrogen and a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), which blocks the effects of estrogen in breast tissue, could relieve menopause symptoms and cut breast cancer risk. view more (2009-10-20)
Overweight, insulin resistant women at greater risk of advanced breast cancer diagnosis, says study
Women who have risk factors commonly associated with Type 2 diabetes also have much greater odds of being diagnosed with an advanced breast cancer. view more (2008-07-08)
MRI changes breast cancer treatment choice; increases time to treatment
More than a quarter of breast cancer patients who had an MRI examination before their initial surgical treatment had their treatment change, according to a study out of Yale University School of Medicine. view more (2008-04-14)
New Chemo Cocktail Blocks Breast Cancer Like a Fence
Think of a protective fence that blocks the neighbor's dog from charging into your backyard. The body, too, has fences -- physical and biochemical barriers that keep cells in their place. view more (2009-10-07)
Hormone replacement therapy increases breast cancer recurrence
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for peri- and postmenopausal symptoms increases disease recurrence in breast cancer survivors, according to an article published online March 25 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2008-03-26)
Women need better information about breast screening
Information about breast screening must be improved if women are to fully understand both the benefits and the potential harms in order to make an informed choice, argue researchers in this week's BMJ. Although breast screening is well established in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, its value continues to be debated. Estimates of the effect of... view more... (2003-07-09)
Stem cells may solve mystery of early pregnancy breast cancer protection
The answer to why an early pregnancy seems to protect against breast cancer could rest with a decrease in stem cells found after animals have given birth, said researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in a report that appears in the current issue of the journal Stem Cell. view more (2008-09-17)
Study demonstrates role of exercise in modifying melatonin levels
Moderate physical activity, which is believed to help reduce the risk of breast cancer, may do so because it increases production of a hormone believed to have protective effects against the disease, a Canadian research team has learned. view more (2005-12-02)
Breast stem cells have features similar to 'basal' tumors
The most aggressive form of breast cancer may originate from breast stem cells that have undergone genetic mishaps. view more (2006-07-20)
Scientists develop new treatment for hereditary breast cancer
Researchers at the University of Sheffield, funded by Yorkshire Cancer Research, have discovered a new way of treating and preventing hereditary breast cancer. The latest finding describes how the use of a chemical inhibitor can specifically kill tumour cells, which have a defect in the gene causing hereditary breast cancer. This new treatment... view more... (2005-04-11)
