A recent study shows that mutations in the “breast cancer genes” BRCA1 and BRCA2 – which increase the risks of breast and ovarian cancers among others – also increase fertility. This is an extraordinary…
Precisely quantifying the amount of different growth proteins did not predict a patient’s outcome after treatment for breast…
The Catholic church should freely distribute the contraceptive pill to its almost 95,000 nuns in order to reduce their “greatly increased risk” of developing female-specific cancers, a paper published…
Two cancer-spurring gene rearrangements have been discovered by researchers at the University of Michigan. These genetic…
Mothers, sisters and daughters from breast cancer families with known genetic mutations do not all share the same high risk…
A web-based program to monitor the performance of radiologists in detecting and diagnosing abnormalities in breast X-rays…
Women with a strong family history of breast cancer, but no genetic link, are not consistent in how they perceive their risk…
Women who carry genes that predispose them to getting cancer at a young age may be passing the gene onto the next generation and causing cancers to develop at ever younger ages, a new study has found…
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs including ibuprofen have been found to reduce the severity of postpartum breast cancers…
Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death in Australian women. But experts disagree on the benefits of breast cancer screening programs, with some arguing that it’s unclear whether…
Men carrying a mutation in the BRCA2 gene (a gene linked to a high risk of breast and other cancers) are more likely to develop…
The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has found Myriad Genetics is entitled to patents on two sets human genetic mutations used to predict if women have an increased risk of breast and ovarian…
The recent US Federal Court of Appeals decision relates to the patent law status of inventions based on the discovery that particular mutations in BRCA genes predispose women to breast and ovarian cancer…
Combining a new anti-cancer agent with chemotherapy has shown promise in the treatment of some of the most aggressive and difficult-to-treat forms of breast cancer, scientists have found. Around 20% of…
A key molecule that helps breast cancer spread beyond the primary tumour has been identified by researchers at the Albert…
While it is already known that breast cancer cells create the conditions for their own survival by communicating their needs…
Researchers have discovered a new aspect of “metabolic transformation”, the process whereby tumour cells adapt and survive…
A large number of women who have survived breast cancer mistakenly attribute their illness to stress rather than recognizing…
