Researchers discover secret communication hotline between breast cancers and normal cells

Australian researchers have uncovered a secret communication hotline between breast cancers and the normal cells surrounding them. Importantly, the messages sent back and forth between the normal and tumour cells encourage the cancer to survive and to become more aggressive.

Lumpectomy plus radiation associated with reduced risk of breast cancer death, study finds

Lumpectomy plus radiation was associated with a small clinical benefit in reduced risk of breast cancer death compared with lumpectomy or mastectomy alone in women with ductal carcinoma in situ, a noninvasive early form of breast cancer.

Removing the cancer label - overhaul in cancer classification proposed

Australian researchers have asked for changes in the way doctors tend to label low risk cancerous conditions as “cancer” leading to over treatment. Certain diagnoses such as localised prostate cancer or “stage 0” breast cancers need to be looked at say the researchers at the University of Sydney and Bond University to prevent aggressive treatment where it is not needed.

FDA approves first vaginal ring contraceptive that can be used for one year

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Annovera (segesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol vaginal system), which is a combined hormonal contraceptive for women of reproductive age used to prevent pregnancy and is the first vaginal ring contraceptive that can be used for an entire year.

Scientists define key binding characteristics of protein associated with heart disease and breast cancer

Galectins attach to other proteins via the carbohydrates on their surfaces (sugar-binding proteins). As such they impact on a range of processes in the cell associated with a number of diseases, including heart disease and breast cancer – the most common cancer in women worldwide, with 1.7 million new cases diagnosed in 2012 alone.

New combination therapy for cancer cells could soon be a reality

A new cancer therapy using nanoparticles to deliver a combination therapy direct to cancer cells could be on the horizon, thanks to research from the University of East Anglia.

Combination of arsenic and existing leukemia drug may combat cancer

Investigators have discovered that arsenic in combination with an existing leukemia drug work together to target a master cancer regulator.

Study identifies key role of TLK1 and TLK2 enzymes in DNA replication

During cell growth, cells copy their DNA through a process called DNA replication. For this process to be accurate, the genetic and epigenetic information must be copied flawlessly.

Scientists uncover reason for similarity between cells in malignant cancers and embryonic cells

Using just a microscope, Italian surgeon Francesco Durante was struck by the similarities between cells in the most malignant cancers and the embryonic cells of the organ in which the cancer originated.

Gene considered as tumor promoter may also halt development of cancer, shows study

A gene that has for decades been considered a tumor promoter, the PLK1 gene, can also perform the exact opposite function: halting the development of cancer.

New study identifies genes linked to higher risk for triple-negative breast cancer

A new study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute has identified specific genes associated with increased risk for triple-negative breast cancer, providing the basis for better risk management.

Researchers identify specific genes linked to increased risk for triple-negative breast cancer

A research team led by Fergus Couch, Ph.D., a geneticist at Mayo Clinic, has identified specific genes associated with an increased risk for developing triple-negative breast cancer. Their research was published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Researchers find ways to render curcumin soluble and deliver it to infected tumors

In India and other countries in Southeast Asia, curcumin is often used as a spice in cooking, particularly chicken or fish. It is known for its therapeutic effect and as a way to kill germs present in raw meet.

Researchers use PET tracer to identify ER expression differences in metastatic breast cancer patients

In metastatic breast cancer, prognosis and treatment is largely influenced by estrogen receptor expression of the metastases.

Researchers identify new regulator in breast cancer cells

Triple-negative breast cancer is a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer. Here, important receptors are missing, which often serve as targets for treatments.

Researchers discover new mechanism linked to inherited breast, ovarian cancer

Researchers from Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust and The University of Manchester have identified a new mechanism which switches off a gene in families affected by breast and ovarian cancer.

JRC's new report identifies lung cancer trends in Europe

Scientists at the Joint Research Centre, the European Commission's Science and Knowledge service, place Europe's regions under the microscope in a report identifying cancer trends within and across countries.

Tumor suppressor gene PTEN may be potential Achilles heel for breast cancer cells

In an article published July 17, 2018 by Nature Communications, a highly collaborative team of researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina and Ohio State University report that normal breast cells can prevent successful radiation treatment of breast cancer due to dysregulation between tumor suppressors and oncogenes.

Microscopic imaging helps better understand cancer bone metastasis

Scientists at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have engineered a system allowing microscopic monitoring and imaging of cancer that has spread to the bone in mice so they can better understand and develop treatment for bone metastasis in humans.
