High Tech Breast Cancer Treatment Comes to the First Coast
As a nurse of 29 years, Carol Robinson has dealt with breast cancer on many levels, but never on her own until this September.
“I see it all the time, but for me, you know, you never think it’s going to happen to you,” says Robinson.
Robinson’s cancer was caught very early, and now she’s using a […]
Cancer center plans to expand services, facility
Rocky Mountain Oncology Center announced Friday it will begin work on a $7 million expansion project of its facility and services starting next week.
The facility, which treats cancer patients from all over the state, plans to add 6,500 square feet to house two new state-of-the-art machines for cancer diagnosis and treatment and a new patient […]
Few Ontario Women With Invasive Ovarian Cancer Referred For Genetic Testing Of Breast Cancer Genes
An Ontario study of 491 women with invasive ovarian cancer found only a small proportion, 19%, were referred for genetic testing of BRCA1 and BRCA2, the breast cancer genes, which means family members are not informed of their cancer risk.
Albuquerque High School Campaign Breast Cancer Awareness
An Albuquerque high school club’s breast cancer awareness campaign is drawing controversy due to a double entendre used on t-shirts.
The campaign, run by Eldorado High School’s DECA Club, features t-shirts with suggestively placed images of melons next to the words “Save the Melons”.Proceeds from the shirt sales go to fighting breast cancer.
Breast Cancer Survivor To Promote Breast Cancer Awareness
It was a ride to remember for more than 20 breast cancer survivors when they rode pillion with 60 Harley Davidson riders and superbikers from Malaysia and Singapore to promote breast cancer awareness.
These gutsy ladies from the Kuala Lumpur Breast Cancer Welfare Association (BCWA) are also members of Pink Challenges, which is renowned for its […]
Cancer Therapy Exercise Program to cut risk of breast cancer
Vigorous exercise can reduce the risk of breast cancer by almost a third, a study has found.
Scientists made the discovery after following the progress of 32,269 women for 11 years.
They found vigorous activities lowered the risk of breast cancer by around 30%, but not if women were overweight.
Protein Compels Ovarian Cancer Cells To Cannibalize Themselves
A protein known to inhibit the growth of ovarian cancer works in part by forcing cancer cells to eat themselves until they die, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report in the Nov. 15 issue of Cancer Research.
Breast Cancer Researh : Scientists find cell pathway driving a deadly sub-type of breast cancer
An intra cellular pathway not previously linked to breast cancer is driving a sub-type of the disease that is highly lethal and disproportionately over-represented in African American women.
The pathway regulates how cells identify and destroy proteins and represents a class of genes called proteasome targeting complexes.
Cancer Research and Therapy : Therapy May Block Expansion Of Breast Cancer Cells
Breast cancer stem cells are known to be involved in therapy resistance and the recurrence of cancerous tumors. A new study appearing in Clinical and Translational Science shows the mechanisms governing stem cell expansion in breast cancer (called Notch activity), and finds that therapy targeting a protein called cyclin D1 may block the expansion of […]
