Scientists uncover new key to the puzzle of hormone therapy and breast cancer
The use of postmenopausal hormone therapy has decreased over time in the United States, which researchers suggest may play a key role in the declining rate of atypical ductal hyperplasia, a known risk factor for breast cancer. view more (2009-11-09)
MRI's high false positive rate has little impact on women's choice of preventive mastectomy
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) falsely detects breast cancer in five out of every six positive scans according to new research into the use of MRI for women with a high, inherited risk of developing the disease. However, this high rate of false positives does not have a major impact on a woman's decision whether or not to have a prophylactic... view more... (2008-03-26)
A black and white look at breast cancer mortality
African and African American women are more likely to die of breast cancer than their white counterparts because they tend to get the disease before the menopause. view more (2007-02-21)
Conservation treatment or mastectomy for DCIS? New study offers reassuring evidence that women's long-term survival is similar regardless of their initial treatment
Hamburg, Germany: Women who have a type of early breast cancer that is confined to the milk ducts have an equally good chance of successful recovery if the cancer recurs, regardless of how they were treated initially, the 4th European Breast Cancer Conference heard today (Friday 19 March). Professor Dennis Holmes told the meeting in Hamburg that... view more... (2004-03-17)
Decrease in breast cancer rates related to reduction in use of hormone replacement therapy
The sharp decline in the rate of new breast cancer cases in 2003 may be related to a national decline in the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), according to a new report in the April 19, 2007, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. view more (2007-04-19)
IMS reaction to report on breast cancer incidence in 2003 in US
A special report in the April 19 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine [1] brings initial analysis of data from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Result (SEER) registries, showing that the incidence of breast cancer in women in the US fell by 6.7% in 2003, and stayed at the same level in 2004. view more (2007-04-19)
Access to prior mammograms helps radiologists detect breast cancer
Viewing prior mammograms in association with current mammograms significantly improves radiologist performance and may decrease unnecessary recalls by up to 44 percent, according to a study in the January issue of Radiology. view more (2006-12-20)
Elasticity imaging identifies cancers and reduces breast biopsies
A new ultrasound technique allows radiologists to accurately distinguish benign from malignant breast lesions. Using elasticity imaging, researchers correctly identified both cancerous and harmless lesions in nearly all of the cases studied. view more (2006-11-28)
New technique images tumor vessel leakiness to predict breast cancer chemotherapy outcome
Chemotherapy is an integral part of modern cancer treatment, but it's not always effective. Successful chemotherapy depends on the ability of anticancer drugs to escape from the bloodstream through the leaky blood vessels that often surround tumors. view more (2009-02-02)
Study finds delay in follow-up among African-American women receiving abnormal breast finding
A new analysis has identified a significant delay in follow-up times among African-American women after the finding of a suspicious breast abnormality. view more (2009-10-26)
Breast cancer and hormone therapy -- A looking-glass mirror?
The medical community has been debating for many years whether, and to what extent, postmenopausal hormone therapy (HT) use is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer, says Professor Amos Pines, President of the International Menopause Society. view more (2007-07-25)
Kylie's breast cancer triggered a surge of over 30 percent in breast imaging of low-risk women
Use of mammography and breast ultrasound procedures soared by over 30 percent among women aged 25-44 in the 6 months following Kylie Minogue's breast cancer diagnosis, says a new study from the University of Melbourne. view more (2008-06-05)
New guidelines emphasize use of breast MRI to supplement standard imaging
Updated guidelines for physicians that represent best practices for using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to newly diagnose breast cancer and to make treatment decisions for breast cancer were published today in the Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. view more (2009-02-17)
Jefferson Scientists See Breast Cancer Gene Activity from Outside the Body
Researchers at Jefferson Medical College and Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer in Philadelphia have used PET imaging to see hyperactive cancer genes inside breast tumors in laboratory animals, marking the first time such gene activity has been observed from outside the body. view more (2007-11-29)
File compression can expand mammography's power
When it comes to the information in a mammogram, Purdue scientists say less is more - and their findings could bring medical care to many far-flung communities. view more (2005-12-21)
Breast cancer patients with high risk gene diagnosed 6 years earlier than generation before
Women with a deleterious gene mutation are diagnosed with breast cancer six years earlier than relatives of the previous generation who also had the disease and/or ovarian cancer, according to new research from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2009-10-12)
Some screening tests should not be advocated
Certain screening tests for cancer are of unproved value and should not be advocated, argues a senior doctor in this week's BMJ. view more (2004-02-05)
Software enhancement of breast MRI scans help radiologists reduce false positives
Using commercially available software to enhance breast scans done by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reduces the number of false positive identifications of malignant tumors and the subsequent need for biopsies. view more (2007-06-25)
New technology offers hope of safe MRI exams
While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is already well established as a premiere non-invasive imaging technology, patients with implantable pacemakers, implantable cardiac devices, neurostimulators and other medical devices are often denied the evaluation their medical situation urgently requires. view more (2007-04-05)
Breast cancer diagnosis from combined MRI-optics method
By combining two techniques, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and near-infrared optics, researchers at Dartmouth College and Dartmouth Medical School may have devised a new, potentially more accurate method for diagnosing breast cancer. view more (2007-04-16)
