Patients suffer invasive treatments for harmless cancers
Australians are increasingly being diagnosed with cancers that will do them no harm if left undetected or untreated, exposing them to unnecessary surgeries and chemotherapy, says a new study published online today in the Medical Journal of Australia . The…
Why eating yogurt may help lessen the risk of breast cancer
One of the causes of breast cancer may be inflammation triggered by harmful bacteria say researchers.
Why eating yogurt may help lessen the risk of breast cancer
One of the causes of breast cancer may be inflammation triggered by harmful bacteria say researchers. Scientists say their idea- as yet unproven – is supported by the available evidence, which is that bacterial induced inflammation is linked to cancer.…

While Promoting Diseases Like Cancer, These Enzymes Also Cannibalize Each Other
In diseases like cancer, atherosclerosis, and sickle cell anemia, cathepsins promote their propagation. Drug trials to inhibit these enzymes have failed due to baffling side effects. Now a new study examines cathepsins in systems to remove some of the bafflement.

Magnetized molecules used to monitor breast cancer
A new type of scan that involves magnetising molecules allows doctors to see in real-time which regions of a breast tumour are active, according to research funded by Cancer Research UK* and published in Proceedings of the National Academy of…
Refining breast cancer classification by multiplexed imaging
Breast cancer progression can vary significantly between patients. Even within the same tumor, different areas may be composed of different types of cells and characterized by different tumor structures. This heterogeneity makes it challenging to ascertain the severity of a…

Editing RNA delivers precision strike on triple-negative breast cancer
Innovative compound awakens cancer cells’ self-destruct system and leaves healthy cells untouched
Hormone resistance in breast cancer linked to DNA ‘rewiring’
Epigenetic changes occur in the DNA of breast cancer cells that have developed a resistance to hormone therapy, an effective treatment for ER+ breast cancer, which accounts for 70% of all diagnoses. Reversing these changes, researchers say, has significant potential…
The eighth edition of Topics in Anti-Cancer Research has been issued
This volume focuses mainly on the new approaches and challenges encountered in cancer stem cell therapy.

Activation of a distinct genetic pathway can slow the progress of metastatic breast cancer
Metastasis, the spread of tumour cells to distant sites, is the major cause of death for people impacted by cancer. With no therapeutic cure available, it is clear that new treatments are needed urgently. In a study published today in…

Lack of insurance cause of survivorship gap in minorities with cancer, study shows
Nearly half of the disparity in later-stage diagnosis was mediated by being uninsured or underinsured, according to a new study conducted at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Boston Medical Center/Boston University School of Medicine.
Breast density notification laws not effective for all women
New Haven, Conn. — A new study suggests that state-mandated notifications on mammogram reports intended to inform women of the health risks related to breast density are not worded effectively. The study, conducted by researchers at Yale and New York…
