Monash researchers have developed a process that causes embryonic stem (ES) cells to develop into ovarian structures containing eggs. view more (2005-06-20)
New Evidence Linking High-fibre Diet With Reduced Risk Of Colon Cancer (pp 1487, 1491, 1496)
Two studies in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide evidence that a high-fibre diet contributes to a substantial lowering in the risk of colon cancer. This has previously been a controversial area of research, as some recent studies have suggested no association between increased fibre intake and a reduced risk of colorectal cancer. Ulrike... view more... (2003-04-30)
OHSU is part of national effort to preserve, restore fertility in women with cancer
The Oregon National Primate Research Center and the Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine have been named to a national team of institutions hoping to preserve or restore fertility in women battling cancer. view more (2007-09-12)
USC study in Nature Genetics supports a stem cell origin of cancer
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) recently made significant strides toward settling a decades-old debate centering on the role played by stem cells in cancer development. view more (2007-01-10)
Standard treatment for lung cancer should be changed, say scientists
Embargoed: 09.00 hrs CET Tuesday 23 September 2003 Copenhagen, Denmark: Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are more likely to survive if they have chemotherapy after surgery than if they have surgery alone, said a scientist at ECCO 12 The European Cancer Conference in Copenhagen today (Tuesday 23 September). Dr. Bengt Bergman, of the... view more... (2003-09-21)
New findings offer more complete view of breast cancer gene mutations in US population
A large study funded by the National Institutes of Health today provided the clearest picture yet of the prevalence in the U.S. population of mutations in two genes associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. view more (2006-08-16)
Study demonstrates how gene variant may contribute to cancer development
A relatively common cancer susceptibility gene appears to be frequently acquired in metastatic lesions from colorectal cancer, and give cancer cells a growth advantage, according to a study in the October 5 issue of JAMA. view more (2005-10-05)
New Clues to Breast Cancer Development in High-Risk Women
Physicians who treat women with the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1 often remove their patients' ovaries to eliminate the source of estrogen they believe fuels cancer growth. view more (2007-09-12)
Women with BRCA mutation, or worry, most likely to undergo prophylactic mastectomy
Women at increased risk for breast cancer because of the genetic BRCA mutations are more likely to think a prophylactic mastectomy is the best way to reduce their risk for the disease, compared to other women who are at high risk, according to researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2009-03-09)
Study challenges routine use of MRI scans to evaluate breast cancer
Reviewing the records of 577 breast cancer patients, Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers found that women with newly diagnosed breast cancer who receive a breast MRI are more likely to receive a mastectomy after their diagnosis and may face delays in starting treatment. view more (2009-06-26)
Cancer Predisposition From Gene Variant Shows Strong Gender Bias
Cancer predisposition resulting from the presence of a specific gene variant shows a strong gender bias, researchers at the University of Cincinnati (UC) have demonstrated. view more (2009-09-22)
Study challenges routine use of MRI scans to evaluate breast cancer
A new study suggests women with newly-diagnosed breast cancer who receive an MRI after their diagnosis face delays in starting treatment and are more likely to receive a mastectomy. view more (2008-09-08)
Birth control has long-term effect on hormone exposure
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine may be one step closer to understanding why past oral contraceptive use dramatically lowers the risk of ovarian and uterine cancers later in life. view more (2008-10-21)
Molecular 'clock' could predict risk for developing breast cancer
A chemical reaction in genes that control breast cancer provides a molecular clock that could one day help researchers more accurately determine a woman's risk for developing breast cancer and provide a new approach for treatment, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found. view more (2008-05-14)
MIT works toward safer gene therapy
In work that could lead to safe and effective techniques for gene therapy, MIT researchers have found a way to fine-tune the ability of biodegradable polymers to deliver genes. view more (2007-09-10)
Hormone Replacement Therapy - reviewing the evidence
A rapid review article in this week's issue of THE LANCET weighs up the current evidence for the health outcomes of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use. The review-which includes data from the recently published Womens Health Initiative (WHI) study-provides consistent evidence to refute the widely held view that HRT may be protective against... view more...

No magic tomato? Study breaks link between lycopene and prostate cancer prevention
Tomatoes might be nutritious and tasty, but don't count on them to prevent prostate cancer. view more (2007-05-17)
FDA finds no strong link between tomatoes and reduced cancer risk
A U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review has found only limited evidence for an association between eating tomatoes and a decreased risk of certain cancers. view more (2007-07-11)
Spanish fertility experts bring hope of avoiding serious complication of assisted reproduction
Research by Spanish fertility experts is bringing new hope to women of avoiding a serious complication of assisted reproduction - ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)[1]. In its severest form, which requires urgent medical treatment, the syndrome affects around 200 women a year in Spain and as many as 2,000 a year in Europe. OHSS occurs when a... view more...

Mothers satisfied when they share cancer genetic test results with children
Mothers who share cancer genetic test results with their children are more satisfied with their decision than those who decide not to tell, according to a new study by researchers at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University Medical Center. view more (2009-05-15)
