Exercise may make radiotherapy more tolerable for breast cancer patients

Breast cancer is the most common form of the disease among women; in Australia, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer by the age of 85.

Study provides a more accurate tool to stratify patients with HER2-positive breast cancer

Patients with a type of breast cancer called HER2-positive are less likely to survive if their initial treatment fails to eradicate the tumor completely and they have high levels of immune cells called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in the residual disease.

Researchers uncover new therapeutic vulnerability in endocrine therapy-resistant breast cancers

For patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, development of the so-called Y537S mutation signals that their disease has taken an aggressive course and may become resistant to endocrine therapy.

New gene classifier can predict the risk of cancer cells recurring or progressing

A team of researchers mapping a molecular atlas for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) has made a major advance toward distinguishing whether the early pre-cancers in the breast will develop into invasive cancers or remain stable.

New therapeutic windows for developing effective treatments for metastatic tumors

Cancer that splits and develops in new organs around the body becomes significantly more difficult to fight. Now, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have shown that these metastatic cancers, that spread from the original, adapt their metabolism to the tissue in which they grow. The discovery represents a breakthrough for the understanding of metastatic cancer and is an important piece of the puzzle in the search for more effective treatments.

Benign breast disease is a key indicator of a higher risk of breast cancer

The risk of breast cancer is almost doubled in women diagnosed with benign breast disease through screening, according to research presented at the 13th European Breast Cancer Conference today.

Collaborative project focuses on improving access to breast cancer care in Argentina

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network- a non-profit alliance of leading cancer centers across the United States-;is launching a collaborative project with the Latin American and Caribbean Society of Medical Oncology in Buenos Aires, Argentina, today.

Study could form the basis of blood testing for people at high risk of breast cancer

Researchers have found changes in the levels of particular proteins in people's blood up to two years before they were diagnosed with breast cancer.

Error-prone DNA replication and repair may lead to cancer in people with inherited BRCA1 mutations

Error-prone DNA replication and repair may lead to mutations and cancer in individuals who inherit a mutant copy of the BRCA1 gene, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

Sanford Burnham Prebys researchers receive ACS grants to advance work on difficult-to-treat cancers

Two faculty members from Sanford Burnham Prebys have been awarded grants from the American Cancer Society (ACS), the largest not-for-profit funding body for scientists studying cancer. Associate Professor Cosimo Commisso, Ph.D., and Assistant Professor Svasti Haricharan, Ph.D., each received competitive awards to advance their work on difficult-to-treat cancers.

Two simple biomarkers could differentiate which young women with ER+ breast cancer need chemotherapy

New research from Yale Cancer Center identified that two simple biomarkers, immune cells and estrogen receptor levels, could differentiate which young women with ER+ breast cancer need chemotherapy to improve their survival, and which only need a monthly injection to suppress ovarian function.

Popular dietary supplement linked to cancer risk, brain metastasis

New research finds dynamic electrical signatures of breast cancer cells

New research has found variable voltages in the membranes of breast cancer cells, revealing clues about how they grow and spread.

11 Nov 2022

Researchers develop a new method to map the spatial evolution of cancers

Researchers developed a genetic clone mapping workflow centered around base-specific in situ sequencing (BaSISS) technology to derive quantitative maps of multiple genetic clones of cancer cells.

Nanotechnology platform can make solid tumor cells more receptive to immunotherapy

A team of researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has developed a nanotechnology platform that can change the way the immune system sees solid tumor cells, making them more receptive to immunotherapy.

10 Nov 2022

Copper and copper-binding proteins could be potential targets for cancer treatment

For cancer cells to grow and spread around the human body, they need proteins that bind copper ions. New research about how cancer-related proteins bind the metal and how they interact with other proteins, opens up potential new drug targets in the fight against cancer.

10 Nov 2022

New tool maps how breast cancer grows in previously unseen detail

New technology can trace which populations of breast cancer cells are responsible for the spread of the disease, and for the first time highlights how the location of cancer cells could be as important as mutations in tumor growth.

9 Nov 2022

Protein complex may present strong therapeutic target for lethal breast cancer

Researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have shown that a protein complex that governs gene expression (called CoREST) sometimes gets rewired during breast cancer to help estrogen receptor positive (ER+) tumors resist endocrine therapies and become more aggressive.

Defense department health plan cuts its pharmacy network by nearly 15,000 outlets

Doris Spatz takes a once-a-day pill, Kisqali, to keep her metastatic breast cancer in check. As a patient in the Defense Department health system, she can fill routine prescriptions at a military pharmacy without a copay but also has the option of using a regular pharmacy through Tricare, the Defense Department's private health care program.

Combining chemotherapy with an inflammation inhibitor can prevent breast cancer metastasis

A new treatment developed at Tel Aviv University may significantly enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients, reducing the risk for lung metastasis following chemo from 52% to only 6%.
