Researchers have identified the likely ‘cells-of-origin’ that can lead to breast cancer in women who carry a mutated BRCA2 gene, and uncovered their vulnerability. Targeting the cells with an existing cancer drug slowed tumor progression, opening the d… Continue reading Breast cancer ‘cells-of-origin’ & their vulnerability uncovered
Being diagnosed with potentially fatal metastatic breast cancer inspired one man to gather a team of diverse professionals to create an AI-based tool that analyzes a patient’s symptoms using a smartphone, providing oncologists with a means of providing… Continue reading One man’s breast cancer diagnosis inspires groundbreaking treatment tool
Researchers have found that a now-discontinued drug used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease may be effective at treating metastatic breast cancer and the brain metastases that can often result. The repurposed drug has the potential to be a no… Continue reading Repurposed Parkinson’s drug found to be effective against brain cancer
Researchers have uncovered the mechanism by which a protein facilitates the spread of breast cancer cells from the primary tumor into healthy tissue. The discovery not only improves our understanding of the metastatic process but is the first step to d… Continue reading Protein discovery could be used to stop breast cancer in its tracks
New research has linked long-term exposure to fine particle air pollution, whether at home or work, to an increased risk of breast cancer. The findings add to the mounting evidence about the dangers of air pollution and highlight the need to reduce it…. Continue reading Long-term air pollution exposure increases breast cancer risk by 28%
Researchers have developed a prototype robot that is able to perform a breast examination and sense lumps that may indicate cancer. While still in the early stages, they say their robot could improve the likelihood of catching breast cancer early.Conti… Continue reading Your next breast exam could be performed by a robot
Researchers have developed an AI model that can predict in real-time whether a surgeon has removed all cancerous tissue during breast cancer surgery by examining a mammogram of the removed tissue. The model performed as well as, or better than, human d… Continue reading AI model improves cancer tumor removal during breast surgery
A new study has found that a single radiologist screening mammograms picked up more incidents of breast cancer and was more efficient when supported by AI. The researchers say their approach would be a safe alternative to having two radiologists ‘doubl… Continue reading AI-supported mammography screening saves time & detects more cancer
Most people with breast and other cancers die not from the primary tumor but from metastasis, when the cancer spreads throughout the body. Researchers have developed a compound that blocks the actions of a metastasis-causing protein, potentially reduci… Continue reading Novel compound stalls the spread of breast cancer
A new UK study has found that, compared to 20 years ago, women diagnosed today with early invasive breast cancer and initially treated with surgery are 66% less likely to die from the disease.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleT… Continue reading Huge increase in 5-year survival rates of early breast cancer
