Study examines risk factors for cancer in unaffected breast of breast cancer patients
A new study identifies certain patient and tumor characteristics that may help indicate which breast cancer patients would be the most likely to benefit from preventive surgery to remove the unaffected breast.   view more (2009-01-26)

No need for gene screens in breast cancer families
Research reported today should provide relief to women who are worried after a relative's breast cancer diagnosis. The study in the open access journal BMC Cancer shows that a family history of breast cancer does not give a useful indication of the likelihood that a woman will develop it herself at an early age.   view more (2008-07-23)

Scans spot hidden tumors in rare cancer syndrome
Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute report that full-body PET/CT scanning detected unsuspected, treatable tumors in 3 of 15 patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), a rare genetic cancer syndrome for which no screening tests have been recommended.   view more (2008-03-19)

PSA velocity's clinical usefulness remains unclear
Some studies have suggested that the rate of change of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels may correspond with prostate cancer survival. But this does not necessarily mean that PSA velocity will be valuable as a prostate cancer screening tool.   view more (2007-10-10)

Scientists are developing markers capable of spotting minute numbers of cancer cells in blood
Scientists have identified three molecular markers which, when used together, are capable of detecting minute amounts of metastatic cancer cells in the blood of patients. Although this research is in its early days, they hope it will lead to the development of a simple and easy test to spot cancer cells that are spreading from the original tumour.... view more...

NHS breast screening targets need to be reviewed
Women who attend the NHS breast screening programme have a higher risk of breast cancer than women who decline to participate, finds a study in this week's BMJ. This "self selection" for screening has important implications for NHS breast cancer detection targets. Researchers at the University of Manchester investigated over 40,000 women... view more...

Pregancies ending in abortion do not increase the risk of developing breast cancer (p 1007)
Results of a major international collaboration investigating the relationship between abortion and breast cancer are published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Authors of the study conclude that the totality of the worldwide evidence does not suggest any increase in the risk of developing breast cancer for women who have had a pregnancy that... view more...

American Cancer Society study finds high use of complementary methods among cancer survivors
A new study from researchers at the American Cancer Society finds many cancer patients use complementary and alternative methods, most often prayer, relaxation, supplements, meditation, and massage.   view more (2008-08-04)

Cost-effective strategy to screen second primary colorectal cancers in cancer survivors
To suggest a feasible economic strategy for second primary colorectal cancer screening of cancer survivors in Korea, A research group constructed a decision-analytic model, compared cost-effectiveness results of cancer screening in male cancer survivors.   view more (2009-07-16)
