Joining forces against cancer
In cancer therapy, the best results are often achieved by combining treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. view more (2008-09-17)
Gene expression test reveals ER and HER-2 status of breast tumors
Two critical characteristics of breast cancer that are important to treatment can be identified by measuring gene expression in the tumor, a research team led by scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center reports in Lancet Oncology online. view more (2007-02-15)
Unique estrogen receptor linked to metastatic breast cancer
Breast cancer awareness month may have passed, but researchers remain focused on the disease with a new study showing that a unique estrogen receptor found in breast cancer tumors is a predictor of tumor size and metastases. view more (2006-11-01)
Cedars-Sinai hormone expert outlines causes and treatments for breast growth in men in NEJM
Gynecomastia, the benign enlargement of male breast tissue, is a common occurrence in adolescents as well as in middle-aged and older men. view more (2007-09-20)
Molecular atlas provides new tool for understanding estrogen-fueled breast cancer
Lurking in unexplored regions of the human genome are thousands of previously unknown on/off switches that may influence how the growth of breast cancer is driven by estrogen. view more (2006-10-03)
Selective marker found to indicate aggressive form of breast cancer
Researchers have linked a structural protein called nestin to a particularly deadly form of breast cancer, identifying a new biomarker that could lead to earlier detection and better treatment. view more (2007-01-15)
Mayo Clinic Study Finds Risk Assessment Tool Not Reliable Predictor for Some Women at High Risk of Breast Cancer
A statistical model commonly used to predict the risk of breast cancer in women was not accurate when used to evaluate women with atypical hyperplasia, according to a new Mayo Clinic study published in the Oct. 14, 2008, issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology. view more (2008-11-06)
Questionnaire identifies women at risk of inherited breast or ovarian cancer
A simplified way for patients to report and update their family medical histories could help identify women who have inherited genetic mutations that increase their risk for breast or ovarian cancer. view more (2005-09-26)
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)
Molecular signature may identify cisplatin-sensitive breast tumors
Researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Cancer Center have identified a subgroup of hard-to-treat breast cancers that may be sensitive to the drug cisplatin, rarely used in the treatment of breast tumors. view more (2007-04-20)
New predictive tool can help determine treatment of breast cancer patients
A new predictive measurement, called a PEPI score, could bring good news to many women diagnosed with early stage breast cancer - a low PEPI (preoperative endocrine prognostic index) score could show that they have little risk of relapse and can safely avoid chemotherapy after surgery. view more (2008-09-24)
Side-effects cause some breast cancer patients to skip hormone treatment
A study by UK researchers of over 200 breast cancer patients receiving hormone treatments such as tamoxifen has found that nearly two-thirds would prefer to take a tablet daily and around a quarter would prefer a monthly injection, given that both treatments would be equally effective and have... view more (2005-10-20)
New algorithm matches any tumor cells to best possible anti-cancer treatments
Cancer patients don't have time to waste. Many go through several different treatments, however, to find one that is more effective against their particular type of tumor. view more (2007-07-24)
Scientists discover way to block growth of prostate cancer cells
Scientists have discovered for the first time a specific biochemical pathway by which the sex hormone, androgen, increases levels of harmful chemicals called reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the prostate gland that play a role in the development of prostate cancer. view more (2006-11-08)
