Cell of origin identified for common type of breast cancer
18 Jan 2010 at 10:00pm
(Tufts University, Health Sciences) Breast cancer researchers have identified the progenitor cell that gives rise to the most common form of breast cancer. Using a mouse model, the researchers found that inhibiting a protein essential to these progenitor cells prevented mammary tumor formation. The discovery may provide a new target for breast cancer drugs.

Genes found linked to breast cancer drug resistance could guide future treatment choices
23 Jan 2010 at 10:00pm
(Dana-Farber Cancer Institute) Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have discovered a gene activity signature that predicts a high risk of cancer recurrence in certain breast tumors that have been treated with commonly used chemotherapy drugs. The findings could lead to a genetic test of breast cancers to help physicians choose the best initial treatment for an individual patient.
Breakthrough breast cancer therapy reduces mastectomies, saves breast

Losing a breast to cancer is traumatic. Breast reconstruction is a plastic surgery option for reclaiming what you've lost. Unfortunately, many women don't get it done because of barriers that stand in the way
Lombardi researchers find investigational agent reduces tumor resistance to breast cancer therapy
4 Jan 2010 at 10:00pm
(Georgetown University Medical Center) Researchers at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center have found a way to cleverly override signals that tell breast cancer cells to keep surviving in the face of anticancer treatment. The investigational agent they used renews the sensitivity of these breast cancer cells to treatment by fulvestrant which had stopped working.
Prolactin blocks oncogene associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer
2 Feb 2010 at 10:00pm
(Thomas Jefferson University) Researchers from the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson have found a mechanism by which a hormone responsible for milk production blocks an oncogene that makes breast cancer more aggressive.

Breast cancer grows in the dark, low-oxygen, sealed environment of your body. It is usually removed with surgery and treated with chemotherapy and radiation. But medical lasers may...
Natural compounds in pomegranates may prevent growth of hormone-dependent breast cancer
4 Jan 2010 at 10:00pm
(American Association for Cancer Research) Eating fruit, such as pomegranates, that contain anti-aromatase phytochemicals reduces the incidence of hormone-dependent breast cancer, according to results of a study published in the January issue of Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
Few women take tamoxifen to prevent breast cancer
7 Feb 2010 at 10:00pm
(American Association for Cancer Research) Less than a quarter of one percent of women took tamoxifen in 2000 and 2005 to prevent breast cancer.Further research is recommended to explore explanations for the drug's low use.

'Junk DNA' could spotlight breast and bowel cancer
4 Jan 2010 at 10:00pm
(University of Nottingham) Scientists at the University of Nottingham have found that a group of genetic rogue elements, produced by DNA sequences commonly known as "junk DNA," could help diagnose breast and bowel cancer. Their research, funded by Cancer Research UK, is published in this month's Genomics journal.
