New way to predict breast cancer survival
2011-07-21 06:33:00 A team of scientists at the University of California, San Francisco has discovered a new way to predict breast cancer survival based on an "immune profile" ? the relative levels of three types of immune cells within a tumor. Knowing a patient's profile may one day help guide therapy. Moreover, the UCSF team showed that they could use drugs to alter this immune profile in mice. Giving these drugs to mice, in combination with chemotherapy, significantly slowed tumor growth, blocked metastasis and helped mice live longer, suggesting that the approach may work in people........

Genes that cause resistance to breast cancer drugs
2010-10-12 15:22:00 Scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have discovered a gene activity signature that predicts a high risk of cancer recurrence in certain breast tumors that have been treated with usually used chemotherapy drugs. Despite their resistance to drugs of the anthracycline class, the breast cancers bearing this gene signature will probably still be vulnerable to other types of chemotherapy agents, say researchers in a letter to be published in Nature Medicine on its Web site and later in a print edition. Thus, the findings could lead to a genetic test of breast cancers to help physicians choose the best initial therapy for an individual patient........

Breast Cancer Drug Pricing Disparity
2010-08-23 01:43:00 The commonly prescribed breast cancer drug, Arimidex, was released as a generic in June 2010. The generic name is anastrozole. I called several local pharmacies last week to find out how much this medicine would cost for a one-month supply. I found some very surprising results: Costco: $27 Walgreens (with Saver Card): $325 (without Card): $380 CVS: $361 Walmart: $347 Target: $340 These are not typos. Costco is selling a one-month supply of generic Arimidex for TWENTY SEVEN DOLLARS, while everyone else in town is selling it for over $300. How can this be? Because Costco's pricing policy is that they charge their customers the wholesale price plus a 14-15% mark-up. (And remember: you don't need to be a Costco member to...

The posting thread was whether the lieutenant governor position should be retained; Eric was shocked to agree with me that it should be. But commentator Dienne wanted to change the subject to abortion. What irked Dienne was that someone had the gall to lob a compliment my way: "Also, whether you agree with him or not he's often backing himself up with a solid argument." Dienne's response was: Yeah, like when he uses questionable studies quoted in other articles without...

Breast cancer, oral contraceptives, abortion and lies (?)
2010-01-12 01:46:00 For years, the National Cancer Institute has been telling Americans that having an abortion and using oral contraceptives had nothing to do with an increased risk of breast cancer. But now, recognized experts in cancer have published a study in a reputable, peer-reviewed publication that finds that the contraceptives and abortions significantly increase the risk in a specific type of breast cancer called triple-negative..This should be earth-shattering news, backing as it does the assertions and scientific findings that have concluded that abortion raises the risk of breast cancer, but so far, the nation's major newspapers, wire services and news programs have ignored it, even though they all have access to the study and the press release describing it....

Mammography and breast cancer risk in some high-risk women
2009-12-01 15:28:00 Low-dose radiation from annual mammography screening may increase breast cancer risk in women with genetic or familial predisposition to breast cancer, according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). "For women at high risk for breast cancer, screening is very important, but a careful approach should be taken when considering mammography for screening young women, particularly under age 30," said Marijke C. Jansen-van der Weide, Ph.D., epidemiologist in the Department of Epidemiology and Radiology at University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands. "Further, repeated exposure to low-dose radiation should be avoided"........

Previously, the function of KLF17 had been unknown........

Chip May Detect Breast Cancer
2009-10-09 21:23:00 In his left hand, Aaron Wheeler holds a petri dish bearing a lump of breast tissue that resembles, in size and appearance, a piece of chewed gum.In his right, the University of Toronto chemist holds a microchip array, about the size of a credit card, bearing a drop of red liquid about a thousand times smaller than the glob of mutilated flesh. The drop represents the minute amount of cells that Wheeler's tiny board needs to accurately gauge estrogen levels in a woman's breast tissue.Read more
