The female sex hormone estrogen turns on a gene linked to breast cancer, according to new research by Brisbane scientists. view more (2007-08-27)
Regular use of selective COX-2 inhibitors decreases risk of breast cancer
Regular use of selective COX-2 inhibitors significantly reduces the risk of breast cancer. view more (2006-01-30)
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)

With the genomic revolution radical improvement has been made in methods of detection of ovarian cancer. view more (2007-11-30)
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)
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)
PSA velocity's clinical usefulness remains unclear
Some studies have suggested that the rate of change of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels may correspond with prostate cancer survival. But this does not necessarily mean that PSA velocity will be valuable as a prostate cancer screening tool. view more (2007-10-10)
New prostate cancer marker helps identify men whose cancer is likely to spread
Prostate cancer researchers at Sydney's Garvan Institute, supported by the Cancer Institute NSW, have found a new marker for identifying aggressive prostate cancers. view more (2006-10-04)
New biomarkers for lung cancer
Rubén P'o, researcher at the University of Navarre, has carried out a study of biomarkers for detecting lung cancer. In recognition of this work, he has been awarded the 2004-06 prize for applied lung cancer research by the American Association for Cancer Research and the Foundation for Research into and Prevention of Cancer. Of the thirty... view more... (2004-06-08)
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)
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...

GERD negatively impacts sleep quality, results in considerable economic burden
There has been much debate about the relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and sleep. view more (2009-09-01)
Rare head and neck cancer linked to HPV, study finds
An increase in cases of a rare type of head and neck cancer appears to be linked to HPV, or human papillomavirus, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. view more (2009-10-08)

Review examines breast cancer prevention strategies in the United States
A new review outlines potential pharmaceutical, dietary, surgical, and other approaches to reducing the risk of breast cancer among women in the United States, and examines the evidence for specific recommendations. view more (2008-11-05)
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...

Microchip-based device can detect rare tumor cells in bloodstream
A team of investigators from the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Biomicroelectromechanical Systems (BioMEMS) Resource Center and the MGH Cancer Center has developed a microchip-based device that can isolate, enumerate and analyze circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from a blood sample. view more (2007-12-20)
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...

Statins have neutral effect on risk of cancer
The cholesterol-lowering medications called statins do not appear to reduce the incidence of cancer or cancer deaths. view more (2006-01-04)
