- Breast Cancer: A Role For Trans Fatty Acids?
Two groups from INSERM and Institut Gustave Roussy collaborated to conduct an epidemiologic study on a cohort of French women members of the Mutuelle generale de l'Education nationale (E3N). The scientists showed that the risk of breast cancer was doubled in women having higher serum levels of trans fatty acids. The trans fatty acids studied are those from industrial sources (processed foods, processed bread, processed pastries, cakes, potato chips, pizza dough, etc.).
Mon, 14 Apr 2008 04:00:00 PDT - Connection Found Between Protein And Prognosis In Breast Cancer
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have found that a tumor protein present in an aggressive form of breast cancer is related to a poor prognosis.The presence of the protein, called growth factor receptor-bound protein-7, often referred to as GRB-7, in breast cancer tumors, is strongly related to the growth and spread of the cancer, according to principal investigator Shiuh-Wen Luoh, M.D., Ph.D.
Mon, 14 Apr 2008 04:00:00 PDT - 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.The study of 145 triple negative breast cancers (i.e, cancer which is estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative and HER2-negative) in 128 women found that about 23% were moderate or low-grade lesions, said Cecilia Mercado, MD, of New York University School of Medicine, and an author of the study.
Mon, 14 Apr 2008 04:00:00 PDT - Mammography Plus Sonography Can Help Rule Out Breast Cancer In Patients With Palpable Lesions
When mammography and sonography are used together to evaluate palpable breast lesions, they can rule out cancers in most patients, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Baystate Health in Springfield, MA. However, uncommonly, malignancies cannot be diagnosed using this imaging protocol.
Mon, 14 Apr 2008 02:00:00 PDT - Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer Patients Benefit From Use Of USFNA Of Lymph Nodes
Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (USFNA) of the lymph nodes is a safe, useful, and minimally invasive procedure for diagnosing metastatic disease in patients who are undergoing preoperative staging for breast cancer, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at the Rhode Island Hospital/Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University in Providence, RI.
Mon, 14 Apr 2008 02:00:00 PDT - Breast Cancers : What If Their Invasive Power Were "latent" From The Beginning Of Their Development?
Why are some cancers more aggressive than others? This was the question explored by a number of doctors and Inserm research scientists at the Institut Curie when they studied the biological profile of a form of breast cancer. The results were astounding: tumour aggressiveness seems to be determined from the very first tumour cells and the biological diversity observed in invasive cancers already exists in localised forms.
Sun, 13 Apr 2008 00:00:00 PDT - Radiation Beneficial For Older Breast Cancer Patients
A breast cancer patient's age alone should not determine whether or not she receives standard breast-conservation treatments, including a lumpectomy and radiation therapy; however, if additional health problems (comorbidities) are present, treatments should be individualized based on age and the
Sat, 12 Apr 2008 00:00:00 PDT - MRI Changes Breast Cancer Treatment Choice; Increases Time To Treatment
More than a quarter of breast cancer patients who had an MRI examination before their initial surgical treatment had their treatment change, according to a study out of Yale University School of Medicine.The study included 110 who had an MRI examination before treatment and 374 who did not undergo an MRI examination. "MRI prompted biopsy of 70 sites in 44 patients, said Carol Lee, MD, an author of the study, now at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NY.
Sat, 12 Apr 2008 00:00:00 PDT - MRI "Best" For Looking At Breast Cancer And More
The use of MRI is effective in differentiating the blood supply to medial and lateral breast tumors, which is important in treatment planning and prognosis according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Miami in Miami, FL and the Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva, Israel.Blood supply of medial tumors is mainly through the internal mammary vessels while lateral tumors may be supplied by both the internal or lateral mammary branches.
Sat, 12 Apr 2008 00:00:00 PDT - Women Taking Estrogen-Only HRT More Likely To Develop Benign Breast Lumps, Study Finds
Women who take estrogen-only hormone replacement therapy are twice as likely as women not taking the treatment to develop noncancerous breast lumps, according to a study published Tuesday in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, the AP/Houston Chronicle reports (AP/Houston Chronicle, 4/9).For the study, Tom Rohan of the

Abraxis BioScience, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABII), a fully integrated biotechnology company, announced that the Korean FDA (KFDA) has granted marketing approval for ABRAXANE® (paclitaxel protein-bound particles for injectable suspension) (albumin-bound) for the treatment of breast cancer after failure of standard chemotherapy for metastatic disease.
Fri, 11 Apr 2008 03:00:00 PDT - Siemens Launches Dedicated Ultrasound And Women's Health Team - New Offering To Provide A One-stop Approach To Breast Imaging Solutions
Siemens has announced the creation of an Ultrasound and Women's Health division to promote and support its products and services within the UK healthcare marketplace. Mammography and ultrasound are playing an increasingly important role in the detection and diagnosis of breast disease. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the UK*, however, thanks to increased awareness and extending screening services, early detection and diagnosis has boosted survival rates.
Fri, 11 Apr 2008 02:00:00 PDT - Eating Soy Foods In Puberty May Protect Against Breast Cancer
Evidence is growing from animal and human studies that genistein, a potent chemical found in soy, protects against development of breast cancer - but only if consumed during puberty, says a Georgetown University Medical Center researcher in the British Journal of Cancer published online. The challenge now, she says, is for scientists to understand precisely why soy appears to provide a shield against the most common cancer in women.
