			USF College of Nursing awarded NCI grant to study mindfulness-based stress reduction in breast cancer survivors The National Cancer Institute has awarded more than $2.8 million to University of South Florida College of Nursing to study memory and concentration among breast cancer survivors using a meditation-based stress reduction intervention.

			Study examines how low-methionine diet may help improve outcomes in triple-negative breast cancer patients A diet that starves triple-negative breast cancer cells of an essential nutrient primes the cancer cells to be more easily killed by a targeted antibody treatment, UW Carbone Cancer Center scientists report in a recent publication.

			UMass Amherst scientist to study how estrogen-mimicking chemicals in the womb can increase breast cancer risk Much attention has been paid to genetics in breast cancer as disease rates rise, but most women have no family history of the disease, suggesting that there is an environmental risk we don't yet understand, says environmental health scientist Laura Vandenberg in the School of Public Health and Health Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
