Breast Cancer :: Scientists find genetic key to some breast cancers
In the journal Clinical Cancer Research, a study mentions that scientists have identified a genetic error that drives a form of breast cancer, opening the way to new therapies for women with breast cancer disease. Researchers at the Institute of Cancer Research, in London, found extra genes in lobular breast cancer cells.
Cancer :: Cancer survivors urged to maintain healthy weight
American Cancer Society said in new guidelines that maintaining healthy weight in cancer survivors is most essential task.
Cancer :: Math model predicts cancer behavior
A team of Vanderbilt and University of Dundee scientists envisions a future when computer simulations will be used to predict a tumor’s clinical progression and formulate individualized treatment plans. The group has developed a mathematical model for cancer invasion powerful enough for this purpose. The result was published as an entirely theoretical paper in the journal Cell and represents a “sea change” in how biology is done.
Breast Cancer :: Abortion pill offers hope for breast cancer patients
A new research study published in Science revealed that abortion pill Mifeprex, Mifepristone or RU-486 offers hope for breast cancer patients.
Prostate Cancer :: African-Americans with prostate cancer more likely to have family history of prostate, breast cancer
African-American men with prostate cancer were more likely to report a family history of prostate cancer and breast cancer among siblings than men who did not have prostate cancer, according to researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Breast Cancer :: Combination therapy shows improvement for breast cancer patients
Giving radiation therapy and chemotherapy at the same time after a lumpectomy helps keep breast cancer from returning locally, according to a study published in the Dec. 1 issue of the International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, the official journal of ASTRO.
Breast Cancer :: Abortion pill Mifeprex, RU-486 blocks breast cancer
Cell biologist Eva Lee of the University of California, Irvine, who led the research published in Friday’s edition of the journal Science, reported that a pill that women can take to abort a fetus, has the ability to put a strangle hold on the gene primarily responsible for breast cancer. The drug is called RU-486, and when given to genetically developed mice who were destined to develop breast cancer, proved to halt the progression of the disease.
Breast Cancer :: Cancer prognosis gene GATA-3 found to control the fate of breast cells
Scientists have discovered an unsuspected role for a gene known to be one of the best predictors of human breast cancer outcome.
Cancer :: What cures your aches might prevent cancer
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center has begun three clinical studies looking at the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to prevent cancer — colon, esophageal or lung.
