Researchers at Imperial Cancer Research Fund have overturned claims that information provided to the public as part of a cancer screening programme increases people's anxiety about the disease and worries them unnecessarily. Their work is published today in the British Medical Journal*. view more (1999-10-13)
Preventium is 'where the prevention of breast and prostate cancer begins'
Dr. Ercole Cavalieri and Dr. Eleanor Rogen of the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Eppley Institute for Research in Cancer, located in Omaha, Nebraska, have identified the triggering mechanism by which breast and prostate cancer cells begin. view more (2009-03-17)
1 gene that contributes to breast cancer's aggressive behavior identified
Aggressive forms of cancer are often driven by the abnormal over-expression of cancer-promoting genes, also known as oncogenes. view more (2009-07-21)
Microarray technology could help predict patient response to adjuvant therapy for breast cancer
Microarray technology could be used to tailor therapy according to the individual, and prevent breast cancer patients from having to undergo painful unsuccessful therapies. view more (2005-10-03)
Breast conservation a good option for non-invasive, 'early' breast cancer, U-M study shows
For women diagnosed with a type of non-invasive breast cancer, removing the breast is not the only treatment option. view more (2006-05-08)
Second lumpectomy for breast cancer reduces survival rates
A majority of women with breast cancer today are candidates for lumpectomy, allowing for conservation of most of their breast tissue. view more (2008-10-03)
New study gives further hope that vitamin D can fight breast cancer
Vitamin D may help curb breast cancer progression, according to a study published today in the Journal of Clinical Pathology. view more (2006-10-17)
3T MRI Detects "Early" Breast Cancer Not Seen on Mammography and Sonography
3T MRI, a powerful tool for evaluating patients with a high risk of having breast cancer, can detect a significant number of lesions not found on mammography and sonography. view more (2009-05-06)
Study finds multiple markers for breast and ovarian cancer
Scientists from the Uppsala Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR) have made a promising discovery that could improve the early diagnosis of breast and ovarian cancers through a simple blood test. view more (2005-08-01)
Parents need help to talk to their children about cancer
Cancer is relatively common among women of childbearing age. Although the importance of communication with patients and their families has been recognised, relatively little has been published about communication with children when their parent is newly diagnosed as having cancer. view more (2006-04-14)
Mayo Clinic study finds two genes predict outcome for breast cancer patients
The 2-gene expression profile of HOXB13 and IL17BR in a woman's breast cancer predicts risk of recurrence in node-negative patients treated with tamoxifen. view more (2006-04-03)
Surviving breast cancer 'is not enough,' warns Breast Cancer Campaign
Women are living longer after breast cancer but simply surviving is not enough, Pamela Goldberg, Chief Executive, Breast Cancer Campaign, said today. view more (2008-05-14)

Defective genes increase breast cancer risk in young women to a greater extent than previously estimated
A joint study between St Mary's Hospital, the Paterson Institute, Christie Hospital, The University of Manchester, Guys Hospital in London, and Cambridge University researching breast cancer has found that women with defects in certain genes have a higher chance of developing breast cancer when they are young than previous estimates. The report... view more... (2003-04-02)
Study identifies potential 'safe period' for hormone replacement use
A new study makes important new findings on the role of hormone use on the risk of breast cancer, confirming that the use of estrogen plus progesterone increases the risk of both ductal and lobular breast cancer far more than estrogen-only; suggesting a two-year "safe" period for the use of estrogen and progesterone; and finding that the... view more...

Positive thinking may protect against breast cancer
Feelings of happiness and optimism play a positive role against breast cancer. Research published today in the open access journal BMC Cancer suggests that while staying positive has a protective role, adverse life events such as the loss of a parent or close relative, divorce or the loss of a spouse can increase a woman's risk of developing the... view more...

Dietary fat itself not likely to cause breast cancer
A diet high in fat is not by itself likely to cause breast cancer, suggests a study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. But it is likely to deplete the body of an essential nutrient, a factor that is probably responsible for most cases of the disease, concludes the research. The author examined all the relevant epidemiological and... view more... (2000-10-16)
Poor prognosis linked to BRCA1 mutations - but may be improved by chemotherapy
Breast cancer patients have a lower chance of long-term survival if they carry an inherited mutation in the BRCA1 gene, according to research published in Breast Cancer Research this week. However, the poor prognosis associated with the mutated gene is mitigated by chemotherapy. The breast cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, were... view more... (2003-10-20)
Dietary calcium could possibly prevent the spread of breast cancer to bone
A strong skeleton is less likely to be penetrated by metastasizing cancer cells, so a fortified glass of milk might be the way to block cancer's spread. view more (2007-10-03)
Most popular websites not necessarily of highest quality
The more popular websites providing information about breast cancer are not necessarily of higher quality, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-03-06)
