Research identifies new genetic variations that could indicate higher prostate cancer risk

As the result of a six-year long research process, Fredrick R. Schumacher, PhD, a cancer epidemiology researcher at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, and an international team of more than 100 colleagues have identified 63 new genetic variations that could indicate higher risk of prostate cancer in men of European descent.

Machine learning approach can accurately detect lymphedema among breast cancer survivors

Machine learning using real-time symptom reports can accurately detect lymphedema, a distressing side effect of breast cancer treatment that is more easily treated when identified early, finds a new study led by NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing and published in the journal mHealth.

Understanding cancer heterogeneity may help avoid harmful effects of chemotherapy

"Understanding cancer heterogeneity could further reduce chemo use," says cancer research expert Antonio Giordano, MD, PhD, Director of the Sbarro Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine at Temple University. "Further study of cases that can successfully be treated with hormone- and immunotherapy, and how to identify them, will unlock this potential."

Older women undergoing mammography may have increased awareness to other preventive tests

Medicare patients who undergo mammography screening also are more likely to follow up with other recommended preventive services such as cervical cancer screenings or Pap smear, bone mass measurement or a flu vaccine, as compared to unscreened women, according to a new study led by researchers at NYU School of Medicine.

Lipofilling does not result in increased rate of breast cancer recurrence

Autologous fat transfer, also known as "lipofilling", is a minimally invasive procedure in which the plastic surgeon uses the patient's own fat obtained by liposuction to perform breast reconstruction.

Altering bacteria’s genetic code may pave way for long-lasting drugs, shows study

By altering the genetic code in bacteria, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have demonstrated a method to make therapeutic proteins more stable, an advance that would improve the drugs' effectiveness and convenience, leading to smaller and less frequent doses of medicine, lower health care costs and fewer side effects for patients with cancer and other diseases.

Chemotherapy may provide no benefit for breast cancer in some cases

In a new study a team of researchers have found that chemotherapy can be completely skipped in early stage breast cancer patients provided certain genetic tests of the tumours are made to assess the risk.

Breast cancer treated successfully with immune therapy

According to researchers from the US, early breast cancers can be successfully treated with a new form of immune therapy instead of traditional chemotherapy. The details of the treatment and the case is published in the journal Nature Medicine.

Study provides new update on global cancer burden

Population aging and growth largely fueled an increase in cancer cases between 2006 and 2016, and large disparities continue to exist between countries in cancer incidence, deaths and the disease's associated disability.

Researchers identify racial differences in breast cancer immune microenvironment

Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have identified significant differences in the immune microenvironment of breast cancer tumors between African-American and white women, shedding light on the ways in which race can influence cancer development and outcomes.

Study finds increase in lifestyle-related cancers over the past decade

Lifestyle-related cancers, such as lung, colorectal, and skin cancers, have increased globally over the past decade, according to the most comprehensive analysis of cancer-related health outcomes and patterns ever conducted.

Diuretic drug may be just as effective as oral antibiotics to treat acne in female patients

In a finding that suggests the potential for practice change that would reduce the use of antibiotics in dermatology, researchers in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have found the diuretic drug spironolactone may be just as effective as antibiotics for the treatment of women's acne.

Phase I trial shows safety of investigational drug in treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Reporting results from a first-in-human phase I clinical trial, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have found that treatment with cirmtuzumab, an experimental monoclonal antibody-based drug, measurably inhibited the "stemness" of chronic leukemia cancer cells - their ability to self-renew and resist terminal differentiation and senescence.

Study: Few men undergo genetic testing despite high risk of breast cancer

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death among Americans. At least 10 percent of cancers are caused by inherited mutations in genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2. Parents with the cancer gene mutation have a 50 percent chance of passing it on to a son or daughter.

Cancer cells can use lipid molecules as fuel for growth, shows study

Cancer cells can when the blood supply is low use lipid molecules as fuel instead of blood glucose. This has been shown in animal tumor models by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden in a study published in Cell Metabolism.
