Blood test that detects changes in tumor DNA predicts survival of women with advanced breast cancer

April 1, 2017 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

Results of a multicenter study of 129 women with advanced breast cancer show that a blood test that spots cancer-linked DNA correctly predicted that most of those patients with higher levels of the tumor markers died significantly earlier than those with lower levels. The Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists, who developed the test and led the study, say the … [Read more...]

Breast density cancer

Breast density matters in detection of breast cancer

February 2, 2017 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

Almost 8% of women have extremely high breast density, which can make it harder for health professionals to detect breast cancer on a screening mammogram. These women are also more likely to develop breast cancer in the future. This is the warning from a new Australian alliance of breast cancer researchers, who are working together to raise awareness of the issue in the … [Read more...]

Revealed! Dense-dose chemotherapy for early breast cancer does not result in significant improvement

January 21, 2017 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

Among women with high-risk early breast cancer, the use of tailored dose-dense chemotherapy compared with standard adjuvant chemotherapy did not result in a statistically significant improvement in breast cancer recurrence-free survival, and nonhematologic toxic effects were more frequent in the tailored dose-dense group, according to a study appearing in the November 8 issue … [Read more...]

Innovative drug could revolutionize the treatment of early-stage breast cancer

January 21, 2017 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

The large-scale international study ABCSG 42/PALLAS is currently investigating whether a drug that is already showing great promise in the treatment of metastasised breast cancer might also increase the success of treatment of the most common type of breast cancer: early-stage hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. The study is being conducted in the USA and in … [Read more...]

Study finds ‘striking’ use of double mastectomy

December 28, 2016 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

Nearly half of early stage breast cancer patients considered having double mastectomy and one in six received it -- including many who were at low risk of developing a second breast cancer, a new study finds. Many patients who chose double mastectomy demonstrated little knowledge of the lack of benefit this aggressive procedure has for most patients. "That 1 in 6 … [Read more...]

Social isolation may worsen breast cancer prospects

December 28, 2016 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

Patients with early breast cancer who are socially isolated have a higher risk of dying from their disease, a new study suggests. Women with fewer social ties — to friends, family, community and religious groups, as well as spouses or romantic partners — were 43 percent more likely to see their breast cancer return, 64 percent more likely to die from breast cancer … [Read more...]

Breast Cancer Drugs Tied to Blood Vessel Damage

December 10, 2016 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

Women on breast cancer drugs called aromatase inhibitors may show signs of early blood vessel damage that could lead to heart disease, a small study suggests. Researchers found that compared with healthy women their age, women on aromatase inhibitors were more likely to show signs of "endothelial dysfunction." That refers to problems in how the blood vessel lining … [Read more...]

Most women unaware of breast density’s effect on cancer risk

November 23, 2016 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

Most women don't know that having dense breasts increases their risk for breast cancer and reduces a mammogram's ability to detect cancer, according to a University of Virginia School of Medicine study. A random phone survey of 1,024 Virginia women ages 35 to 70, conducted by the UVA Center for Survey Research, found that just 1 in 8 women were aware that breast density … [Read more...]

Understanding the resistance to treatments against breast cancer

June 22, 2016 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

Estrogens are responsible for the survival and proliferation of tumor cells in 70% of all breast cancer cases. The most frequently used treatment to fight this variety of tumors relies on anti-estrogens such as tamoxifen. However, nearly a third of the patients develop a resistance to this type of therapy after a few years. In a study published in the journal Nucleic Acids … [Read more...]

Breast conserving therapy or mastectomy better for early breast cancer: A Danish Study

May 2, 2016 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

Young women with early breast cancer face a difficult choice about whether to opt for a mastectomy or breast conserving therapy (BCT). This is because there is little evidence as to whether the greater risk of a return of the disease at the site of the original tumour after BCT is linked to a greater risk of the cancer spreading to other parts of the body, leading to higher … [Read more...]
