Study evaluates prescribing of preventive drugs at the end of life in older adults with cancer

A new study reveals that preventive medications--such as those to lower blood pressure or cholesterol, or to protect bone health, among others--are commonly prescribed during the last year of life of older adults with cancer, even though they are unlikely to provide meaningful benefits.

Exposure to dim light at night may contribute to spread of breast cancer to bones

Exposure to dim light at night, which is common in today's lifestyle, may contribute to the spread of breast cancer to the bones, researchers have shown for the first time in an animal study.

Repurposing drugs to outsmart cancers

In an article published today by SAGE Publishing, investigators from The Nagourney Cancer Institute and The Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, announced a new approach to identifying effective treatments for patients with advanced metastatic cancers. A drug commonly used to treat kidney and liver cancer was discovered effective for breast cancer, which may open new drug therapies to patients regardless of tumor type.

New nanotechnology approach shows promise in treating triple negative breast cancer

Unlike the three most common forms of breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer has no currently approved targeted therapies for treatment. That was one of the reasons it was chosen as a disease area of focus for the Indiana University Precision Health Grand Challenge initiative, aimed to research and develop better treatments, cures or preventions, as quickly as possible.

Breast cancer relapse predictor may soon be a reality

Breast cancer survivors like many other cancer survivors live in fear of relapse of their cancer after they have been in remission. Researchers have now developed a tool by which they can predict accurately the time when the cancer is likely to return. The results of this study were published in the latest issue of the journal Nature.

New method would allow doctors to detect earliest stages of cancers in the lymph nodes

The vast majority of cancer deaths occur due to the spread of cancer from one organ to another, which can happen either through the blood or the lymphatic system. However, it can be tricky to detect this early enough.

Molecular patterns could help predict relapse risk in breast cancer patients

The genetic and molecular make-up of individual breast tumors holds clues to how a woman’s disease could progress, including the likelihood of it coming back after treatment, and in what time frame, according to a Cancer Research UK-funded study published in Nature today (Wednesday).
