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)
Large study shows low-fat diet has little effect on reducing risk of breast cancer
A major study that includes nearly 50,000 women followed over 8 years indicates that a diet low in fat, but high in fruit, vegetables and grains, does not significantly reduce the risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women view more (2006-02-08)

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)
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)
Birth size is a marker of susceptibility to breast cancer later in life
Birth size, and in particular birth length, correlates with subsequent risk of breast cancer in adulthood, according to a new study published in PLoS Medicine by researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. view more (2008-09-30)
Cryoablation is a safe procedure for breast cancer patients, early results indicate
Ultrasound-guided cryoablation of small breast cancer may be a safe procedure associated with minimal morbidity and high patient satisfaction. view more (2007-05-07)
ASTRO issues consensus statement on using APBI to treat breast cancer
The American Society for Radiation Oncology has published a consensus statement outlining patient selection criteria and best practices for the use of accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) outside the context of a clinical trial. view more (2009-07-15)

There is a broad variation in the risk of developing breast cancer among people who carry the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutation, according to a study in the January 9/16 issue of JAMA. view more (2008-01-09)
The 'other' cruciate ligament: Newer treatments for PCL tears
While major advances have been made in the understanding of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) anatomy and reconstruction, a literature review published in the July 2009 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (JAAOS) finds that there must be continued advances in basic science research in order to determine the best... view more...

Chemicals used as Preservatives Detected in Human Breast Tumours
New evidence to be published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology indicates that parabens, chemicals found in underarm cosmetics and other products, can be detected in human breast tumours. Previous suggestions have been made that certain components of underarm cosmetics may contribute to the rising incidence of breast cancer. Although the... view more... (2004-01-09)
Invitation to the Media - Reduced Breastfeeding In Western Countries Makes Major Contribution To Incidence Of Breast Cancer
Small family size and short-duration or no breastfeeding in Western populations substantially increases the risk of breast cancer, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. An estimated 25,000 breast cancers would be prevented in Western populations every year if women continued to have the same number of children but... view more... (2002-07-17)
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 self examination increases women's concerns but has no effect on mortality: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Breast self-examination (BSE) should not be seen as a cheaper alternative to mammography, and people who still advocate it as an effective way of reducing breast cancer mortality are doing women a disservice, a scientist will say at the 4th European Breast Cancer Conference next week (Tuesday 16 March). Professor Lars Holmberg,... view more... (2004-03-10)
Long-term tamoxifen use increases risk of an aggressive, hard to treat type of second breast cancer
While long-term tamoxifen use among breast cancer survivors decreases their risk of developing the most common, less aggressive type of second breast cancer, such use is associated with a more than four-fold increased risk of a more aggressive, difficult-to-treat type of cancer in the breast opposite, or contralateral, to the initial tumor. view more (2009-08-26)
