Study finds no link between menopausal hormone therapy and increased risk of dementia

Use of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT, also known as hormone replacement therapy, HRT) is not associated with an increased risk of developing dementia, regardless of hormone type, dose, or duration, concludes a large UK study published by The BMJ.

Clinical dilemmas in breast cancer patients solved by newly approved PET imaging agent

A non-invasive, patient-friendly imaging technique can help physicians make treatment decisions for breast cancer patients when diagnostic dilemmas arise.

Breast radiation after lumpectomy decreases incidence of ipsilateral breast recurrence for 'low risk' DCIS

A long-term follow up analysis of the NRG-RTOG 9804 randomized trial has shown that breast radiation following lumpectomy significantly reduces incidence of ipsilateral breast recurrence (IBR) for "low risk" DCIS.

Mayo Clinic internist advocates a comprehensive approach to breast cancer prevention

A commentary by Mayo Clinic Cancer Center researchers published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology Practice suggests that advances in breast cancer prevention research have resulted in new and innovative opportunities to modify breast cancer risk and potentially reduce breast cancer incidence and mortality.

New simple plasmonic optical fiber biosensing platform for detecting estrogenic endocrine disruptors

Developing the advanced and powerful detection techniques to characterize as many endocrine disruptors as possible with ultra-sensitivity in the environment is still challenging, however highly demanded.

Hopkins Medicine selected to explore the impacts of COVID-19 vaccination on menstruation

Johns Hopkins Medicine's Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics is one of five institutions selected by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to conduct research to explore the potential impacts of COVID-19 vaccination on menstruation.

New discovery offers clues to overcoming resistance to cancer therapies

Cancer cells proliferate despite a myriad of stresses - from oxygen deprivation to chemotherapy - that would kill any ordinary cell.

McLean wins NIH grant to explore links between COVID-19 vaccine and menstrual cycle changes

In research that will add important data to the experience of vaccines on women's health, Laura Payne, PhD, director of McLean Hospital's Clinical and Translational Pain Research Laboratory, has received a grant from the National Institutes of Health to explore potential links between SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and menstrual cycle changes.

KU researcher wins $1.25 million award to investigate the vital role of sex hormones in tissue repair

Our ability to heal and regenerate new tissue after an injury has much to do with biological sex. For instance, following menopause, the loss of sex-hormone signaling in women can lead to degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, where bone and cartilage degrade and become more delicate and brittle because of tissue loss.

Could monitoring headaches after COVID-19 vaccination help identify rare cases of cerebral venous thrombosis?

Researchers from the Akershus University Hospital in Norway investigated 77 cases of CVT in vaccinated subjects to identify risks and warning signs to better predict these severe side effects.

Novel anti-hormonal therapy may be a new treatment option for early-stage breast cancer

Early results from a UCLA-led clinical trial found treating women with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-negative early breast cancers with a novel type of anti-hormonal therapy, called an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), led to clinically meaningful reductions in tumor activity prior to surgery.

Systematic review focuses on women's health associated with menopausal hormone therapy

Treatment with estrogen in menopause is both good and bad for women's health. The picture is complex and the scientific evidence sometimes scanty or only moderately solid, a study shows. University of Gothenburg researchers took part.

First dose of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (BNT162b2) reduced platelet polyP levels in young females

In a recent study, scientists have tested the hypothesis that indicates the role of polyP in the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine-induced immune responses.

Sex defining factors influence expression of ACE2 and other SARS-CoV-2 machinery

Results from this study provided evidence for the hypothesis that sex-defining factors influence the expression of ACE2 and other SARS CoV-2 machinery.

Blood serum test can identify which breast cancer patients have slow-growing disease

Researchers with the SWOG Cancer Research Network have found that patients with metastatic hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who have low activity levels of the enzyme sTK1 in their blood serum at the start of anti-estrogen treatment live longer and go longer without their disease progressing than patients with high levels.

Early androgens related to childhood gender nonconformity in boys

In laboratory animals, sex differences in behavior occur because different hormone levels produced by males and females influence patterns of gene expression in the developing brain.

COVID-19 vaccine antibodies inversely related to BMI in obese men, but not women

A new study discusses the role of obesity in COVID-19 and its role in antibody-mediated immune responses to the COVID-19 vaccine.

7 Sep 2021

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.
