Duration of breast feeding may influence health in later life
Breast feeding in infancy is related to reduced arterial function 20 years later, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Although breast feeding should continue to be recommended to promote infant health, these findings raise an important question about the optimal duration of breast feeding. Leeson and colleagues measured arterial distensibility (a... view more... (2001-03-13)
NHS breast screening targets need to be reviewed
Women who attend the NHS breast screening programme have a higher risk of breast cancer than women who decline to participate, finds a study in this week's BMJ. This "self selection" for screening has important implications for NHS breast cancer detection targets. Researchers at the University of Manchester investigated over 40,000 women... view more...

Surgical site infections more common than expected following breast procedures
Infections at the incision site occurred in more than 5 percent of patients following breast surgery and cost them more than $4,000 each in hospital-related expenses, according to a report in the January issue of Archives of Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-01-22)
Time to reassess the value of HRT
It may be time to reassess the value of hormone replacement therapy, following evidence that it reduces the effectiveness of breast screening and causes breast cancer in women over the age of 50, says a leading breast surgeon in this week's BMJ. Increasing numbers of women in their 50s and 60s are using hormone replacement therapy to alleviate... view more... (2001-12-12)
Women who breastfeed for more than a year halve their risk of rheumatoid arthritis
Women who breast feed for longer have a smaller chance of getting rheumatoid arthritis, suggests a study published online ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2008-05-13)
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)
Chemotherapy and tamoxifen reduce risk of second breast cancer
Among breast cancer patients, both chemotherapy and tamoxifen independently reduced the risk of developing a second cancer in the other breast, according to a study published online December 25 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The risk reduction persisted for at least 10 and 5 years, respectively. view more (2007-12-26)
Baby milk manufacturers are violating international marketing code
Manufacturers of formula milk are violating the international code of marketing of breast milk substitutes in west Africa, say researchers in this week's BMJ. Two survey teams monitored compliance with the code, adopted by the World Health Assembly in 1981 to ensure the proper use of breast milk substitutes. The study involved health facilities,... view more... (2003-01-16)
More girls than boys benefit from breastfeeding, Hopkins Children's research shows
Challenging the long-standing belief that breast-feeding equally protects all babies against disease, research led by Johns Hopkins Children's Center investigators suggests that when it comes to respiratory infections, the protective effects of breast milk are higher in girls than in boys. view more (2008-06-02)
Breast screening shows that HRT can halve artery hardening
Hormone replacement therapy can halve breast artery hardening (calcification), and it’s an effect that can be picked up during a breast screen, reveals a study in the Journal of Medical Screening. view more (2002-04-02)
Breast cancer drug receives FDA approval
A new use for the breast cancer drug Herceptin was approved by the FDA yesterday, a move that means more treatment options for the 25 percent of breast cancer patients with early-stage HER-2 positive breast cancer. view more (2006-11-20)
Doctors able to predict chance of breast cancer returning
Doctors have created a first-ever computer tool to predict the risk of breast cancer returning in the same breast over a 10-year period in women who have had breast conserving surgery to remove only the cancer (lumpectomy). view more (2006-11-07)
Women overestimate effectiveness of breast screening
Women either overestimate or are poorly informed about the effectiveness of breast screening, suggests research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. But these are the very women who attend for screening. To give them the facts might deter them from being screened, so creating a public health dilemma, suggest the authors. The... view more...

Study examines risk factors for cancer in unaffected breast of breast cancer patients
A new study identifies certain patient and tumor characteristics that may help indicate which breast cancer patients would be the most likely to benefit from preventive surgery to remove the unaffected breast. view more (2009-01-26)
Canadian breast cancer guidelines do not meet their objective
The Canadian Practice Guidelines for the Care and Treatment of Breast Cancer, first published in 1998, were developed to reduce variation in the way that breast cancer was being treated. view more (2007-03-13)
Screening may over-diagnose 1 in 10 breast cancers
Screening women for breast cancer could result in a 10% rate of over-diagnosis, finds a study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2006-03-03)
No need for gene screens in breast cancer families
Research reported today should provide relief to women who are worried after a relative's breast cancer diagnosis. The study in the open access journal BMC Cancer shows that a family history of breast cancer does not give a useful indication of the likelihood that a woman will develop it herself at an early age. view more (2008-07-23)
Pregancies ending in abortion do not increase the risk of developing breast cancer (p 1007)
Results of a major international collaboration investigating the relationship between abortion and breast cancer are published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Authors of the study conclude that the totality of the worldwide evidence does not suggest any increase in the risk of developing breast cancer for women who have had a pregnancy that... view more...

Queen's expert challenges "corporatization" of breast cancer research
New research by a Queen's University researcher questions the effectiveness of privately funded efforts to stop the epidemic of breast cancer among North American women. view more (2006-08-24)
