HER2 levels may aid in treatment selection for metastatic breast cancer
Findings published in the December 1, 2008, issue of Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, show lapatinib benefits women with HER2-positive breast cancer, while women with HER2-negative breast cancer or those who express EGRF alone derive no incremental benefit. view more (2008-12-03)
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)
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)
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)
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)
Increased ovarian cancer risk not found in women with breast cancer family history
Women with a strong family history of breast cancer but who don't have breast cancer genetic mutations can now be reassured that they are not at increased risk for ovarian cancer. view more (2005-09-21)
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...

Potential dangers of long term tamoxifen use
Tamoxifen prolongs the life of women with breast cancer and may significantly reduce the risk of developing the disease in those with an inherited tendency. But, suggests a leading article in the Journal of Clinical Pathology, long term use may produce other serious abnormalities, including cancer. view more (1999-02-12)
Screening reduces mastectomy rates
The introduction of breast screening has brought about a reduction in mastectomy rates, despite recent suggestions that screening increases the number of mastectomies as a result of overdiagnosis, say researchers in this week's BMJ. Between 1990 and 1996, over 59,000 women aged 50-69 years were invited to at least one breast screen as part of the... view more... (2002-08-21)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
Low Levels Of Breastfeeding Putting Children At Risk
Children in developing countries are being put at unnecessary risk of disease and death as they are fed on alternatives to breast milk. According to a study published in BMC Medicine today, the amount of breastfeeding taking place falls a long way short of recommended levels. In 2001 the World Health Organization (WHO) passed a resolution... view more... (2004-06-29)
New electron microscopy images reveal the assembly of HIV
Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and the University Clinic Heidelberg, Germany, have produced a three-dimensional reconstruction of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), which shows the structure of the immature form of the virus at unprecedented detail. view more (2009-06-23)
Early predictor of breast cancer aggressiveness
Physicians may be able to make early decisions on the best treatment for breast cancer, thanks to research published in Breast Cancer Research today. A gene involved in the adhesion of cells is less active in breast tumors with a poor prognosis than those that are less aggressive, researchers found. Measuring the activity of the ALCAM gene in... view more... (2004-06-24)
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)
