New treatment approach shows promise in reversing hormone resistance in breast cancer

A collaborative study between LSU Health New Orleans School of Medicine, the University of Rochester and Cellestia Biotech AG, a biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, provides compelling evidence that combining an investigational oral drug with standard-of-care medications reverts hormone resistance and increases Rx effectiveness in experimental models of estrogen-receptor positive (ER+) and triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC), respectively.

Study finds no link between alcohol use and breast cancer recurrence or death

A Kaiser Permanente study provides new information that may help oncologists answer one of the most common questions they hear from breast cancer survivors: Is it safe to drink alcohol?

Pioneering study links testicular cancer among military personnel to ‘forever chemicals’

Gary Flook served in the Air Force for 37 years, as a firefighter at the now-closed Chanute Air Force Base in Illinois and the former Grissom Air Force Base in Indiana, where he regularly trained with aqueous film forming foam, or AFFF — a frothy white fire retardant that is highly effective but now known to be toxic.

Myelodysplastic syndromes are commonly misdiagnosed, study finds

Blood disorders known as myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms (MDS) are difficult to diagnose – and are commonly misdiagnosed – putting patients at increased risk for treatment mistakes and other potentially harmful consequences, according to researchers with Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and collaborating organizations.

Machine learning model finds new breast cancer risk indicator in women with dense breasts

A machine learning model found that background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) on breast MRI is an indicator of breast cancer risk in women with extremely dense breasts, according to a study published in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

RAGE plays key role in cellular mechanisms of plasticity in aggressive triple-negative breast cancer

Published online ahead of print in the journal Oncogene , a study led by Josep Villanueva, an Investigator at the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO), shows that the receptor for advanced glycation end-product (RAGE) plays a key role in cellular mechanisms of plasticity in mesenchymal triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that transform epithelial cells into mesenchymal cells as potent drivers of cancer cell proliferation and tumor invasion.

NCI funds study to investigate the underlying cellular mechanisms that drive ER+ breast cancer

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has awarded a 5-year, $2.7 million grant to researchers at Sanford Burnham Prebys to investigate and elucidate the underlying cellular mechanisms that drive the most common form of breast cancer.

Air pollution linked to increased risk of non-lung cancer in older adults

Chronic exposure to fine particulate air pollutants (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) may increase non-lung cancer risk in older adults, according to a study led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Black and Hispanic individuals with second primary cancer have higher death rates, study finds

In new findings from researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS), non-Hispanic Black individuals diagnosed with a second primary cancer (SPC) experienced 21% higher cancer-related death rates and 41% higher cardiovascular-related death rates compared with their non-Hispanic White counterparts.
