Deep learning provides a better estimate of breast cancer risk

Compared with commonly used clinical risk factors, a sophisticated type of artificial intelligence (AI) called deep learning does a better job distinguishing between the mammograms of women who will later develop breast cancer and those who will not, according to a new study in the journal Radiology.

Insufficient evidence to support the replacement of human radiologists with AI for breast cancer screening

Humans still seem to be better than technology when it comes to the accuracy of spotting possible cases of breast cancer during screening, suggests a review published online in The BMJ today.

Hormones play a vital role in the development of breast cancer

A study by RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences has provided greater insight into the role that hormones play in the development of breast cancer in patients. The novel findings could enhance the treatment for breast cancer, assisting clinicians in optimising individual patient care and improving overall survival rates for patients.

New compounds offer a two-for-one punch to fight estrogen-sensitive breast cancer

A set of compounds developed by scientists at Scripps Research in Florida target estrogen-sensitive breast cancer cells in new ways, potentially creating better options for patients with treatment-resistant cancers.

Researchers study the role of low-density granulocytes in COVID-19

Information on granulocytes helps to understand mechanisms associated with covid-19 and other infectious diseases. Such information also promotes the development of better diagnostic methods and therapies.

Older women with dense breasts are at higher risk of breast cancer, study shows

UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center researcher Diana Miglioretti is co-senior author of a new study that shows women 75 and older who have dense breasts are at higher risk of breast cancer.

Study: Breast cancer screening rates declined in low-income communities during the pandemic

A new study finds breast cancer screening rates (BCSR) declined among women aged 50 to 74 years within 32 community health centers that serve lower-income populations during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.

Restoring DAXX protein levels may prevent misfolding of rogue proteins known to drive Alzheimer's

For the first time, Penn Medicine researchers showed how restoring levels of the protein DAXX and a large group of similar proteins prevents the misfolding of the rogue proteins known to drive Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, as well as certain mutations that contribute to cancers.

Intestinal microorganisms help regulate anti-tumor immune responses to radiation therapy, study finds

Cedars-Sinai Cancer researchers have discovered that intestinal microorganisms help regulate anti-tumor immune responses to radiation treatments, and that fungi and bacteria have opposing effects on those responses.

Study uncovers how breast cancer cells use cholesterol to overcome stress-induced death mechanism

Chronically high cholesterol levels are known to be associated with increased risks of breast cancer and worse outcomes in most cancers, but the link has not been fully understood.

ICL fluorescent label homogenously penetrates the glioblastoma brain tumors

Fluorescent indocarbocyanine lipid (ICL) shows much better distribution within glioblastoma brain tumors compared to fluorescent phospholipids, according to a study published in ACS Nano.

Study investigates the effects of calycosin on breast cancer cell progression

Aging-US published "Calycosin inhibits breast cancer cell migration and invasion by suppressing EMT via BATF/TGF-β1" which reported that in this study, the authors investigated the effects of calycosin on breast cancer cell progression and their underlying mechanisms. Calycosin dose- and time-dependently inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion by T47D and MCF-7 breast cancer cells by downregulating basic leucine zipper ATF-like transcription factor expression.

Study offers hope for an era of safer chemotherapy in breast cancer

Breast cancer is the deadliest and most common type of cancer in women. The treatment options often require administration of anti-cancer drugs in high doses, as the cells develop resistance towards chemotherapy, leading to painful side effects in patients.

Arteriolar niche used by breast cancer cells to prepare for metastasis

More than 43,000 American women will die from breast cancer this year. Most of those deaths will occur after the cancer has spread to other organs, a process called metastasis. This involves at least five major steps.

Study finds link between physical activity and better cognition among breast cancer patients

A new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has found a strong association between high levels of physical activity and the ability to maintain cognitive function among breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy.

Prediction models may reduce false-positive MRI screenings in women with dense breasts

Prediction models based on clinical characteristics and imaging findings may help reduce the false-positive rate in women with dense breasts who undergo supplemental breast cancer screening with MRI, according to a new study in the journal Radiology.

New clinical trial investigates aspirin as part of new treatment for triple negative breast cancer

An innovative new study is trialing whether giving aspirin, commonly used as pain relief, alongside immunotherapy drug avelumab could improve its effectiveness for people affected by breast cancer.

MGH researchers discover how triple-negative breast cancer can evade powerful drugs

Massachusetts General Hospital researchers have identified for the first time how a highly aggressive form of breast cancer can evade one of the most powerful and effective drugs used to treat it, reporting their findings in Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
