British scientists who developed an advanced three dimensional (3-D) model of human breast cancer in the test tube, have won a prestigious prize for replacing animal experiments in medical research. The award was made at an event at the House of Lords sponsored by former Minister for Science & Innovation Lord Sainsbury and hosted by [...]
Researchers at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center have identified a new marker for breast cancer metastasis called TMEM, for Tumor Microenvironment of Metastasis. As reported in the March 24 online edition of the journal Clinical Cancer Research, density of TMEM was associated with the development of distant organ metastasis via the bloodstream — the most [...]
National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers have identified a gene that suppresses tumor growth in melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. The finding is reported in the journal Nature Genetics as part of a systematic genetic analysis of a group of enzymes implicated in skin cancer and many other types of cancer.
The NIH analysis [...]
A Cancer Genomics Browser developed by researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, provides a new way to visualize and analyze data from studies aimed at improving cancer treatment by unraveling the complex genetic roots of the disease.
The browser consists of a suite of web-based tools designed to help researchers find patterns in the [...]

A prevention program serving an ethnically diverse population of women at high risk of cancer is detailed in an article published Monday 23 March in the online peer-reviewed journal ecancer.
The article describes a screening program to identify women from underserved communities who are at a high risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer; a pilot [...]
A new metal nanostructure developed by researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has already shown promise in cancer therapy studies and could be used for chemical and biological sensors and other applications as well.
The hollow gold nanospheres developed in the laboratory of Jin Zhang, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at UCSC, have [...]

Despite its limitations, FNA offers lower cost, less invasion, and fewer complications. Experts discuss why they chose FNA over core biopsy.
In the past decade, core biopsy has largely replaced fine-needle aspiration for breast tissue evaluation. The latter technique’s inability to distinguish between invasive cancer and in situ cases and a general unease among pathologists [...]
