In the middle of 2007 my yearly mammogram showed an area of abnormal clusters of calcium. The Doctor wanted that area removed from my left breast. He was going to use a procedure that involved me stripping to the waist, climbing a ladder, lying on a table approximately 6 feet in the air, allowing [...]
Ann Killary (from the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center) and colleagues have described a new gene called DEAR1 that is genetically altered by mutation and deletion in breast tumors, and that may provide a new breast cancer prognostic marker.Each year, more than one million women discover that they have breast cancer. Although [...]
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in women. Consequently, women should become actively involved in routine breast screening. This protocol includes monthly self-examinations, a yearly examination by a healthcare professional, and an annual mammogram beginning at age 40. Women with strong family histories of breast or gynecologic cancer, a personal history of cancer, [...]
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 [...]
