Molecular imaging holds promise for early intervention in common uterine cancer
A promising new molecular imaging technique may provide physicians and patients with a noninvasive way to learn more information about a type of cancer of the uterus lining called "endometrial carcinoma"-one of the most common malignant female tumors. view more (2009-10-01)
Mitochondria play role in pathogenesis of AD and estrogen-induced neuroprotection
As the major source of free radicals in cells, mitochondria contribute to the high levels of oxidative stress believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2008-04-07)
Walking prevents bone loss caused from prostate cancer treatment
Exercise may reduce, and even reverse, bone loss caused by hormone and radiation therapies used in the treatment of localized prostate cancer, thereby decreasing the potential risk of bone fractures and improving quality of life for these men. view more (2007-10-29)
Ethnic variations in hormone levels may cause differences in breast cancer risk
Researchers have known that a woman's natural hormone levels can affect her risk of developing breast cancer. A new study from the University of Southern California (USC) has found that the natural levels of estrogens in post-menopausal women varies by ethnicity and race, and may explain the differences in the groups' breast cancer rates. view more (2006-10-10)
Dietary calcium is better than supplements at protecting bone health
Women who get most of their daily calcium from food have healthier bones than women whose calcium comes mainly from supplemental tablets. view more (2007-06-20)
Biomarker May Be an Early Predictor of Advanced Breast Cancer
Researchers have identified a molecule that may be more accurate than existing biological signposts used to predict which breast cancers will develop into advanced forms of the disease. view more (2007-11-06)
Testosterone Therapy Improves Sexual Function in Post-Menopausal Women
The addition of testosterone to hormone therapy in women after menopause enhances their sexual function. However, it may also reduce HDL cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol) in women, according to a systematic review of current evidence. view more (2005-10-24)
Migraines associated with lower risk of breast cancer
Women who suffer from migraines may take at least some comfort in a recent, first-of-its-kind study that suggests a history of such headaches is associated with a significantly lower risk of breast cancer. view more (2008-11-06)
Gap junction protein vital to successful pregnancy, researchers find
Researchers studying a critical stage of pregnancy - implantation of the embryo in the uterus - have found a protein that is vital to the growth of new blood vessels that sustain the embryo. Without this protein, which is produced in higher quantities in the presence of estrogen, the embryo is unlikely to survive. view more (2008-09-11)
LA BioMed study finds hormone therapy increases frequency of abnormal mammograms, breast biopsies
Combined hormone therapy appears to increase the risk that women will have abnormal mammograms and breast biopsies, and it may decrease the effectiveness of both methods for detecting breast cancer. view more (2008-02-26)
Mayo Clinic researchers say agent provides treatment option for women with hot flashes
A pill used for nerve pain offers women relief from hot flashes, Mayo Clinic researchers report at the 45th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). view more (2009-05-15)
Active lifestyle reduces risk of invasive breast cancer
Six or more hours per week of strenuous recreational activity may reduce the risks of invasive breast cancer by 23 percent, according to researchers from the University of Wisconsin Paul P. Carbone Comprehensive Cancer Center (UWCCC). view more (2007-02-16)
Scientists learn role of oxidative stress in estrogen-related bone loss
Scientists have discovered new information about an immune pathway in mice that explains how oxidative stress that results from acute estrogen deficiency leads to the loss of bone. view more (2007-09-11)
Scientists use gene therapy to improve memory and learning in animals
Stanford University neuroscientists have designed a gene that enhances memory and learning ability in animals under stress. view more (2006-11-08)
Study Demonstrates Safety of Oral Contraceptives in Women with Lupus
In a major study, women with either inactive or stable systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) - a disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and damages healthy tissues of the skin, joints and internal organs - were able to take oral contraceptives without increased risk of flares, or periods of increased disease activity, that... view more...

Study shows hormone replacement therapy decreases mortality in younger postmenopausal woman
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to treat menopausal estrogen deficiency has been in widespread use for over 60 years. Several observational studies over the years showed that HRT use by younger postmenopausal women was associated with a significant reduction in total mortality; available evidence supported the routine use of HRT to increase... view more...

Nuclear Medicine Imaging Allows Immediate Prediction of Advanced Breast Cancer Patients' Response to Hormonal Treatment
Innovative use of somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS), a nuclear medicine imaging technique looking at how the body functions at the molecular level, may provide near immediate selection of breast cancer patients for endocrine therapy and offers a new tool in fighting the disease. view more (2006-01-20)
Pituitary hormone in menopause under study
Regulating a hormone abundant in women approaching menopause could offer alternatives for hormone replacement therapy, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2006-11-03)
New path from estrogen to survival in breast cancer cells described
After years of research, scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center are now able to explain, in exquisite molecular detail, how the estrogen hormone can help keep breast cancer cells alive. view more (2006-09-26)
Hot flashes: Studies explore the role of genes, obesity and alcohol
Many women in the menopausal transition experience hot flashes: unpredictable, sometimes disruptive, periods of intense heat in the upper torso, neck and face. view more (2007-04-25)
