Reporting this week in Nature Genetics, Wei Zheng, M.D., Ph.D, and his colleagues have identified a region on chromosome 6 that is strongly linked to breast cancer susceptibility in Asian women. This genetic "locus" may help guide efforts to find the specific genes linked with sporadic or non-inherited forms of the disease, the authors suggest........
A newly released study finds women who develop breast cancer while pregnant or soon afterwards do not experience any differences in disease severity or likelihood of survival in comparison to other women with breast cancer. The study is reported in the March 15, 2009 issue of CANCER, a peer-evaluated journal of the American Cancer Society........
Scientists at Wayne State University have tested a breast cancer vaccine they say completely eliminated HER2-positive tumors in mice - even cancers resistant to current anti-HER2 treatment - without any toxicity. The study, published in the September 15 issue of Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, suggests the vaccine could treat women with HER2-positive, therapy-resistant cancer or help prevent cancer recurrence. The scientists also say it might potentially be used in cancer-free women to prevent initial development of these tumors........
Women who stopped taking the postmenopausal hormone combination of estrogen plus progestin experienced a marked decline in breast cancer risk which was uncorrelation to mammography utilization change, as per a research studyfrom the Women's Health Initiative led by a Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute (LA BioMed) investigator that was published recently in The New England Journal (NEJM).......
Birth size, and in particular birth length, correlates with subsequent risk of breast cancer in adulthood, according to a new study published in PLoS Medicine by researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Associations between birth size, perhaps as a marker of the pre-natal environment, and subsequent breast cancer risk have been identified before, but the findings from epidemiological studies have been inconsistent........
