Women treated for early-stage breast cancer may develop invasive breast cancer

New research in the November 2019 issue of JNCCN—Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network examines the implications of invasive breast cancer after breast-conserving treatment for ductal carcinoma in situ (aka DCIS, a form of non-invasive breast cancer) and which factors could impact overall survival.

Apoptosis protein API-5 more markedly expressed in chemoresistant triple-negative breast cancer

78 TNBC biopsies from patients with different responses to chemotherapy were analysed for API-5 expression before any treatment.

Cancer patients have higher risk of cardiovascular death

A new study says that over 10% of patients with cancer die of unrelated cardiovascular disease (CVD) rather than their cancers.

Breast-conserving treatment may be a viable alternative to mastectomy, study suggests

Approximately 10% of breast cancer patients treated with lumpectomy (breast-conserving surgery [BCS]) and whole-breast radiation (WBI) will have a subsequent in-breast local recurrence of cancer (IBTR) when followed long term.

Biosimilar for HER2+ breast cancer achieves similar overall response rate to reference drug

The trastuzumab biosimilar HLX02 achieved similar overall response rate to reference trastuzumab in women with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) recurrent or previously untreated metastatic breast cancer, according to a large, randomized phase III study reported at the ESMO Asia 2019 Congress.

Researchers design new antitumoral drug release strategy for breast cancer treatment

The local release of antitumoral drugs through bacterial proteins in the treatment of breast cancer can mark a before and after in precision medicine.

UIC receives $1.8 million CDC grant for new breast cancer survivorship research

With $1.8 million in funding from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the University of Illinois at Chicago will help young breast cancer survivors navigate post-treatment care and survival.

Women from Appalachia less likely to have breast reconstruction surgery

It is estimated that nearly 40 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer will require a mastectomy. For those patients, breast reconstruction surgery is a valuable part of comprehensive breast cancer care as studies show it improves quality of life, self-esteem and sexuality.

Atlantic Health System offers advanced lung cancer screening program

November is national Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Lung cancer remains the #1 cancer killer of both men and women in the United States.

Study shows gender differences in prognosis predictive utility of breast cancer recurrence score

The TAILORx study published last year offered good news for women with early-stage ER-positive breast cancer who scored at intermediate risk for recurrence according to a genetic assay test.

Rutgers Cancer Institute researchers awarded $2.3 million in American Cancer Society grants

More than $2.3 million in Research Scholar Grants from the American Cancer Society have been awarded to three Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey researchers to examine cell metabolism and tumor formation in forms of breast cancer, lung cancer and leukemia.

Startup seeks to hold doctors, hospitals accountable on patient record requests

When Kelly Shanahan had her OB-GYN practice in South Lake Tahoe, Calif., she was meticulous about providing medical records promptly to all patients who requested them, she said.

18 Nov 2019

For cancer screening, nudges need to be directed to both clinicians and patients

When the electronic health record is programmed to automatically flag and create orders for patients needing cancer screenings, doctors are significantly more likely to order them, a new Penn Medicine study shows. However, the study showed that the other part of the equation -- patients following through on those screenings -- was unaffected by the increase in orders.

Research breakthrough may lead to new therapeutic targets for cancers

Computational modeling is the use of computers to simulate and study the behavior of complex systems. Computational approaches are widely adopted in the bioimedical sciences and can be used to sift through large volumes of complex data to extract recurrent patterns that may point to a disease's causes and effects.

Mining 'darkest' parts of the genome in cancer cells yields gold

Mining the rich uncharted territory of the genome or genetic material of a cancer cell has yielded gold for Princess Margaret scientists: new protein targets for drug development against prostate cancer.

Shared care model for early follow-up of breast cancer survivors

Survivors of early breast cancer will take part in a new nationwide study trialing a shared care model between cancer specialists and GPs for the follow-up care when they have completed their initial treatment.

Promising method to identify aggressive breast cancers that will respond to immunotherapy

University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have discovered a promising method to identify aggressive breast cancer tumors that will respond to drugs that unleash the immune system against cancer.

14 Nov 2019

New computational model could help in the development of anti-cancer drugs

Researchers from the Faculty of Medicine and the Institute for Molecular Medicine at the University of Helsinki have developed a computational model, Combined Essentiality Scoring (CES) that enables accurate identification of essential genes in cancer cells for development of anti-cancer drugs.

14 Nov 2019

Blocking metastasis-promoting enzyme can prevent spread of breast cancer

In a breakthrough with important implications for the future of immunotherapy for breast cancer, UC San Francisco scientists have found that blocking the activity of a single enzyme can prevent a common type of breast cancer from spreading to distant organs.

Tips to help parents share family health history with children

Parents spend hours planning to talk with their children about the "birds and bees." But moms and dads often ignore an equally important conversation - discussing their family's overall health history.
