Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma risk after reconstructive surgery is extremely low, study finds

The incidence of a rare cancer, anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL), has surged in recent years, possibly because of the growing use of textured breast implants.

The importance of early cancer screening

In this interview, Thomas Qiu, Senior Product Manager from BGI Genomics, talks to NewsMedical about current global cancer rates, and the importance of early cancer screening.

Researchers modulate the activity of potential therapeutic target for triple-negative breast cancer

Less than 20% of diagnosed breast cancers are designated "triple-negative," lacking three types of receptors often found in other breast cancer types.

One in five women likely to forgo additional testing after abnormal mammogram

One in five women is likely to forgo additional testing after an abnormal finding on a screening mammogram if there is a deductible, according to a new study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.

The potential for automatic diagnosis of palpable breast lumps without a radiologist or sonographer

A new study evaluated the efficacy of the volume sweep imaging ultrasound scans and artificial intelligence in providing fully automated and inexpensive breast ultrasound scans and interpretation without the need for experienced radiologists or sonographers.

A moderate level of physical activity increases breast cancer survival

Active and moderately active women diagnosed with breast cancer were less likely to die from breast cancer as compared to inactive participants

27 Nov 2022

MiRNAs can be used as a biomarker to predict disease recurrence and mortality in breast cancer patients

Researchers at University of Galway have determined that biomarkers known as microRNAs can help predict which patients with breast cancer are likely to face a recurrence of the disease and death.

23 Nov 2022

New research could be the first step in better targeting breast cancer treatment

Researchers have identified a protein that, when present in high amounts in breast cancer tumors, is an indicator of whether DNA-damaging therapies will work or not.

Low-calorie sweetener does not seem to increase cancer risk in US adults

A recent study claims that the intake of low-calorie sweetener sweeteners does not increase the risk of cancer-related death. However, it may increase the risk of obesity and diabetes.

Over 440 SCI articles published! BGI’s cancer genetics and cell research fuels innovation

BGI has currently published over 440 SCI (Science Citation Index) papers in the field of cancer research, with a cumulative impact factor of over 4,000 points.

Fungi detected in 35 cancer types, often intracellular

In a recent article published in the journal Cell, researchers found fungal deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and cells at low abundances across many human cancers, with cancer type-dependent variations in fungus community composition and fungal-bacteriome interactions.

Combination of ultrasound and nanobubbles enables the removal of tumors without surgery

A new technology developed at Tel Aviv University makes it possible to destroy cancerous tumors in a targeted manner, via a combination of ultrasound and the injection of nanobubbles into the bloodstream.

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.

21 Nov 2022

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.

21 Nov 2022

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.

20 Nov 2022

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.

20 Nov 2022

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.

16 Nov 2022

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.
