Cause of Breast Cancer Spread Discovered

Scientists in London have found a molecule that could be aiding the spread of beast cancer, according research published in the American Journal of Pathology. Lead author, Dr. Amanda Harvey, has previously established that a molecule known as Brk, found in 60 percent of breast tumors, plays an important role in accelerating breast cancer cell growth. Her latest findings demonstrate that Brk to be involved in helping breast cancer cells spread.

Exercising After 50 Reduces Breast Cancer Risk

Walking as little as 30 minutes a day, especially after age 50 – even in the course of doing household-related chores – can significantly reduce a woman’s risk of contracting breast cancer, a recent study found.

“It doesn’t always have to be sports,” said Associate Professor Karen Steindorf of the German Cancer Research Center, a leader of the research. “In our calculations, we have also taken account of activities such as gardening, cycling or walking to the shops. Our advice to all women is therefore to stay, or become, physically active also in the second half of your life. You will not only reduce your risk of breast cancer, but it has been proven that your bones, heart and brain also benefit from it.”

Nicotine Found to Accelerate Breast Cancer

Nicotine speeds the growth of breast tumors and aids the cancer's spread to other parts of the body, a recent study has found.

A large body of previous research on nicotine has implicated the well-known tobacco component in helping to cause a wide variety of cancers, including those of the lungs, head, neck and prostate gland. But this study, published in Cancer Research, is the first to be done on the nicotine-breast cancer connection. ( Read more about Nicotine Found to Accelerate Breast Cancer)

Some good news in the battle against cancer: recent findings in a report published in the latest issue of Cancer shows cancer death rates dropped steadily on average 2.1 percent per year from 2002 through 2004, nearly twice the annual decrease of 1.1 percent per year from 1993 through 2002.

African American Women and Breast Cancer

“I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to see my children grow up and my grandchild grow, you get this really scary feeling inside,” says Rosamond Stallings. When 45 year old Rosamond Stallings was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years ago, doctors urged her to immediately have a mastectomy. “They found like six malignant tumors,” says Rosamond. Recent studies have shown that 30 percent or more of breast cancer patients fail to receive complete treatment, and that African American women are as much as 10 percent less likely than white women to receive optimal therapy. But now, supported by a $10 million grant from the Department of Defense, a study, led by a team of doctors at Columbia University Medical Center, will look at possible reasons for the disparity.

Breast MRI-Mammography Study

There's good news tonight for women at high risk for breast cancer. Researchers say using breast MRI along with mammography is highly accurate in detecting tumors. Not only does this mean cancers can be picked up more reliably, but also, women who might choose to get a preventative mastectomy or get their ovaries removed now have the option to watch and wait with confidence.

Breast Cancer Recurrence Marker

Researchers have discovered how to identify women with breast cancer who are at risk for having the cancer spread. This is quite a significant step, because currently, there's no reliable way to see what cancers will spread and what won't, and that means it's hard to say which patients should be treated more aggressively and which can be treated less aggressively
