Public awareness of urological conditions found to be alarmingly low across Europe

Public awareness of urological conditions is alarmingly low throughout Europe. Results of a new international survey of more than 2,500 responders from 5 countries show that women know more about men's health issues than men do, men have poor knowledge of key urological symptoms and don't take early signs of potentially life-threatening urological conditions seriously.

New clinical trial evaluates aesthetic results of conservative surgery in breast cancer

Belén Merck Navarro, Medicine professor at Valencia and Castellón's CEU UCH university is the only Spaniard among the 17 surgeons from 11 different countries that specialize in breast cancer who took part in a clinical trial on the usefulness of 3D images to evaluate the aesthetic results of conservative surgery in breast cancer

Study reveals new way to target HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer

A cytokine signature found in certain kinds of breast cancer cells can not only serve as a diagnostic tool for HER2-negative cancers but also offer an effective treatment target.

New program to reduce harmful stress effectively improves mood in cancer patients

This is a story about something rare in health psychology: a treatment that has gone from scientific discovery, through development and testing, to dissemination and successful implementation nationwide.

Researchers simulate how different breast tissues respond to heat from MRIs

No woman's breast tissue is the same, so MRIs detecting and monitoring cancer shouldn't treat them all the same.

Study finds why some human genes are more popular with biomedical researchers

Historical bias is a key reason why biomedical researchers continue to study the same 10 percent of all human genes while ignoring many genes known to play roles in disease, according to a study publishing September 18 in the open access journal PLOS Biology, led by Thomas Stoeger and Luís Amaral of Northwestern University, and colleagues. This bias is bolstered by research funding mechanisms and social forces.

Women with high levels of anti-Müllerian hormone more likely to develop breast cancer

Having high levels of anti-Müllerian hormone – a hormone that indicates the size of a woman’s ovarian reserve – before the menopause is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, new research suggests.

Vitamin D may reduce breast cancer mortality in women with lower BMI

Vitamin D is already well known for its benefits in building healthy bones. A new study supports the idea that it also may reduce cancer risk as well as breast cancer mortality, especially in women with a lower body mass index.

Researchers develop new blood test to detect early stage pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is currently very difficult to detect while it is still resectable. A new blood test developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, Herlev Hospital, Knight Cancer Center and Immunovia AB, can detect pancreatic cancer in the very earliest stages of the disease.

Twice-a-year MRI more effective than mammograms for women with genetic breast cancer risk

Getting magnetic resonance imaging scans twice a year instead of one annual mammogram is far more effective at detecting early breast cancers in young women with a high-risk genetic profile than mammograms alone, according to a research team based at the University of Chicago Medicine and the University of Washington, Seattle.

Beauty products contain mixed chemicals that may harm women's hormones

As we go about our daily lives, we are exposed to many different chemicals that could have negative effects on our hormones.

Is ‘precision medicine’ the answer to cancer? Not precisely.

Facing incurable breast cancer at age 55, MaryAnne DiCanto put her faith in "precision medicine" — in which doctors try to match patients with drugs that target the genetic mutations in their tumors. She underwent repeated biopsies to identify therapies that might help.

Annual survey highlights poor awareness of sepsis in the US

A new survey has revealed that, although awareness of sepsis is increasing in the US, there are still very few people who are able to recognize the symptoms.

Cancer to kill nearly 10 million this year says WHO report

According to a report released by the World Health Organization’s cancer research agency this week, 9.6 million people would lose their lives to cancer this year. This translates as one in eight of all deaths and one in eleven of all deaths among men and women respectively says the agency.

Screening does not reduce breast cancer mortality

Fewer and fewer women die from breast cancer in recent years but, surprisingly, the decline is just as large in the age groups that are not screened. The decline is therefore due to better treatment and not screening for breast cancer.

Mitochondrial pathway found to be involved in breast cancer

Researchers have discovered a molecular pathway that controls the movement of mitochondria within breast cancer cells and influences invasiveness.

MilliDrop awarded €1.9 million to accelerate development of blood infection diagnosis system

MilliDrop, which designs and develops cell culture solutions based on millifluidics technology for bacteriological research and diagnosis purposes, announces it has been awarded €1.9 million in non-dilutive financing from Bpifrance to accelerate the development of its blood infection diagnosis system for sepsis.
