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)
Breast cancer treatment procedure gives women more options
A new minimally invasive approach to partial breast irradiation provides another treatment option for women with breast cancer. The researchers presented their findings today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America. view more (2006-11-30)
Normal tissue not spared in new forms of breast cancer radiotherapy
A five day course of radiotherapy to treat breast cancer may, in some cases, expose as much lung and heart tissue to potentially toxic radiation as does the standard six weeks of treatment, say researchers at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville. view more (2007-10-31)
External beam partial breast irradiation most cost-effective treatment
External beam partial breast irradiation (EB-PBI) is the most cost-effective method for treating postmenopausal women with early-stage breast cancer based on utilities, recurrence risks and costs when compared to whole breast radiotherapy (WBRT) and brachytherapy partial breast irradiation (brachy-PBI). view more (2009-06-03)
Radiation device in the breast reduces complications for early stage breast cancer patients
A new study shows that the SAVI™ applicator, a small, expandable device inserted inside the breast to deliver partial breast irradiation, carries a low infection risk, a potential complication of such devices. view more (2009-04-24)
Breast cancer patients may benefit from new accelerated treatment
Women with early-stage breast cancer may benefit from a new, accelerated approach to radiation therapy making their course of treatment shorter. view more (2006-11-01)
MRI Superior to Mammography for Screening Women at High Risk for Breast Cancer
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast is significantly more sensitive than mammography and ultrasound for diagnosing familial breast cancer, according to researchers at Germany's University of Bonn. view more (2003-06-12)
Low-dose chemotherapy plus antiangiogenesis drug has activity in advanced breast cancer
Chemotherapy given in low, frequent doses - a novel strategy called "metronomic" delivery - achieved partial shrinkage of disease in some advanced breast cancer patients when given concurrently with an angiogenesis inhibitor. view more (2005-12-09)
One day radiation may become an option for breast cancer patients
Doctors in Canada are studying the effectiveness of permanent radiation seed implants following lumpectomy as an alternative to whole or partial breast irradiation for early-stage breast cancer patients. view more (2006-01-04)
Suntans are bad for bacteria too! Exposure to UV irradiation kills off harmful bacteria in food
Research news from the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture 15 December 2003: The presence of E.coli bacteria, found in foods such as egg white and apple juice, is a major public health concern. The bacteria have, in the past, been inactivated by heat pasteurisation -- which can affect flavour and consistency. New evidence published in... view more... (2003-12-15)
Breast cancer treatment offers better outcome to women with implants
Women with early-stage breast cancer who have undergone breast augmentation may be treated successfully with a partial-breast radiation treatment called brachytherapy, according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). view more (2008-12-01)
Prostate Cancer Survival Benefit From A Combination Of Androgen Suppression And External Irradiation
Disease-free survival from advanced prostate cancer could be almost doubled if hormone-suppression therapy is used during and after radiotherapy for a duration of 3 years, suggest authors of an international study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Long-term survival after radiotherapy for people with advanced prostate cancer is poor. Michel... view more... (2002-07-05)
Consensus panel calls for expanded role of needle biopsies, MRI and less invasive procedures
Physicians should strive to replace traditional, invasive procedures for diagnosing breast cancer with proven, less-invasive diagnostic methods, according to an international panel of breast cancer experts convened at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. view more (2005-10-10)
Some schoolboys get their kicks from partial self-strangulation
Schoolboys go in for partial self strangulation for kicks, using cloth towel dispensers, reports a study in Injury Prevention. Much older boys and adult men practice partial self strangulation by auto-erotic asphyxiation. The Canadian researchers cite five cases in which young boys attempted near strangulation using cloth towel dispensers in... view more... (2001-08-29)
Breast asymmetry predicts breast cancer
Women who go on to develop breast cancer tend to have breasts that are less symmetrical than women who don't develop the cancer. view more (2006-03-20)
New radiotherapy regime benefits young women with breast cancer
Women under 35 years of age with breast cancer can have an almost 20% lower risk of their disease recurring if they are treated using a new radiotherapy regime. These were some of the results presented here today (Tuesday 26th October) by Prof Harry Bartelink and his colleagues at the 23rd Meeting of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology... view more...

What is the mechanism of the chronic radiation enteritis?
The use of radiation therapy to treat cancer inevitably involves exposure of normal tissues. view more (2008-12-23)
Increasing radiation dose shortens treatment time for women who choose breast sparing treatment
Radiation therapy after lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer can be safely delivered in higher daily doses to greatly reduce treatment time. view more (2007-05-30)
Breast Cancer, Prognostic Factors, Mortality, Recurrence
Tumor Grade, Age at Diagnosis of First Tumor, and Duration Without Cancer Predict the Risk of Death After a Local Recurrence of Breast Cancer view more (2002-05-16)
Avoiding wishful thinking over new drugs - more trials should be double-blinded say cancer experts
Italian researchers have urged that doctors should, wherever possible, be 'blinded' to which drug a patient is receiving in a trial when the endpoint involves subjective judgements by the investigators. They believe it would lessen the risk of wishful thinking - an unconscious tendency by doctors to expect new drugs to perform better than the... view more... (2002-03-11)
