Study provides insight on a common heart rhythm disorder
University of Iowa researchers and colleagues in France have identified a gene variant that causes a potentially fatal human heart rhythm disorder called sinus node disease. view more (2008-10-08)
Sentinel lymph node biopsy is associated with breast cancer rates
The incidence of some early stage metastatic breast cancers is increasing, but this finding is likely explained by changes in clinical practice, according to a study published online June 26 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2007-06-27)
D2 lymphadenectomy improves the long-term survival for patients with node-negative gastric cancer
Many studies favor an extended lymphadenectomy at the time of a potentially curative gastrectomy for node-positive gastric cancer, and the risk of long-term death tends to decrease when the number of resected lymph nodes increases to about 25. view more (2009-08-27)
A diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer doesn't always mean cancer spread
Triple-negative breast cancers are a heterogeneous group and may not always be associated with lymph node spread, a new study shows. view more (2008-04-14)
Which is accurate, CT or MRI?
Paraaortic lymph node metastasis in patients with pancreatico-biliary carcinoma has been reported as a definite predictor of early recurrence and shorter survival term. view more (2008-05-21)
Lymph nodes harbor information on whether breast cancer will recur
Breast cancer often spreads through the lymph nodes in the arm pits (so-called axillary lymph nodes), and whether these lymph nodes are tumor-free or contain small metastases is an important factor in the decision of how aggressively to treat a patient. view more (2005-09-06)
Hospital quality indicator may not be linked to patient survival after colon cancer surgery
Examining a specific number of lymph nodes after colon cancer surgery, a measurement that has been recommended as a quality indicator for hospitals, is not associated with length of patient survival. view more (2007-11-14)
Altering time of breast biopsy may improve mastectomy reconstruction process
Altering the standard step-by-step procedure that takes women facing a mastectomy from diagnosis to surgery to reconstruction can improve the process and help in determining if immediate reconstruction is the best course of action. view more (2005-10-11)
Second breast cancer may be greater than thought for high-risk women without BRCA mutations
A preliminary analysis of ongoing research suggests that high-risk women with breast cancer who do not have a BRCA1/2 mutation may face a greater chance for developing a second breast cancer than previously thought. With the increased risk of cancer in these women, should sentinel node biopsy be considered at the time of prophylactic mastectomy,... view more... (2008-05-05)
Mayo Clinic study finds two genes predict outcome for breast cancer patients
The 2-gene expression profile of HOXB13 and IL17BR in a woman's breast cancer predicts risk of recurrence in node-negative patients treated with tamoxifen. view more (2006-04-03)
Markers that can predict cancer spread could save women from unnecessary chemotherapy
Women with early breast cancer could avoid needless chemotherapy thanks to work carried out in Chicago on identifying biochemical markers which indicate whether or not cancer is likely to spread to other parts of the body, the 3rd European Breast Cancer Conference in Barcelona heard today (Saturday 23 March). Ruth Heimann, Associate Professor in... view more... (2002-03-21)
Test can reduce recurrence of breast cancer
A new test that examines large sections of the sentinel lymph node for genes expressed by breast cancer could reduce the risk of recurrence and multiple surgeries, doctors say. view more (2008-02-26)
Lymph node evaluation linked to improved survival for colon cancer patients
The number of lymph nodes removed and examined for tumor cells appears to be associated with the likelihood of survival after surgery in colon cancer patients. view more (2007-03-21)
Less extensive biopsy method helps diagnose cancer progression of large breast tumors
New breast cancer research shows for the first time that even women with large breast tumors can benefit from a less invasive biopsy method that has been reserved until now for women with small breast cancers. view more (2005-08-23)
European Node officially handed to NASA
Six years of hard work came to fruition when ESA formally transferred ownership of Node 2 to NASA on 18 June 2003. This took place in the Space Station Processing Facility of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The ceremony was attended by Alan Thirkettle, Head of the Development-Department of ESA's Human Spaceflight Directorate,... view more... (2003-06-26)
Researchers find two biomarkers with potential to predict breast cancer spread
Expression of two different proteins taken from primary tumor biopsies is highly associated with spread of breast cancer to nearby lymph nodes, according to researchers who say this protein profile could help identify at an early stage those patients whose disease is likely to metastasize. view more (2006-12-18)
Breast cancers behave differently before and after the age of 70
Researchers in Belgium have discovered that increasing age affects the way breast cancer behaves. As women approach the age of 70, they become less likely to be diagnosed with aggressive tumours that have spread to the lymph nodes. But after 70, the cancer is increasingly likely to spread, particularly if the tumours are small. view more (2008-04-21)
Gene Signature Can Predict Breast Cancer Spread
Researchers have discovered a genetic signature that can identify breast cancer patients at high risk of distant recurrence, reporting their results in this week's issue of The Lancet. view more (2005-02-16)
UC Davis researchers move biotechnology closer to replacing electronic pacemakers
UC Davis researchers have successfully used a custom designed protein and gene delivery system to restore normal heart rhythms in pigs with electronic pacemakers, reducing their dependence on implanted devices. view more (2006-08-23)
Diagnostic strategy may help determine stage of lung cancer more accurately
A preoperative testing strategy combining two procedures may help improve the accuracy of determining the stage of lung cancer, according to an article in the August 24/31 issue of JAMA. view more (2005-08-24)
