For breast cancer patients who underwent a mastectomy who undergo radiation therapy after immediate breast reconstruction, autologous tissue reconstruction provides fewer long-term complications and better cosmetic results than tissue expander and implant reconstruction, according to a study in the November issue of the International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, the official journal of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology.

Women with a strong family history of breast cancer have a four times greater risk for the disease than women in the general population, even if they do not carry a mutation of the BRCA gene, according to a study presented Monday at the American Association for Cancer Research's annual

Osteoporosis is a growing concern among breast cancer survivors and their doctors, because certain cancer drugs can cause bone loss. But a new study has found that cancer drugs aren't the only culprits. Among 64 breast cancer patients referred to a bone health clinic, 78 percent had at least one other cause of bone loss, including vitamin D deficiency, excessive calcium excretion in urine and an overactive parathyroid gland.

The use of the cancer drug bevacizumab is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (blood clots in the deep veins of the legs or in the lungs), according to a new article.

Taking calcium and vitamin D supplements does not reduce breast cancer incidence in postmenopausal women, according to data from a randomized, doubled-blind, placebo-controlled trial published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Scientists have identified pathways by which a reduced-calorie diet and exercise can modify a postmenopausal woman's risk of breast cancer.

Breast cancer, the leading cause of death among women in France, is the most commonly occurring cancer in women. Sporadic breast cancer, which is non-hereditary, turns out to be the most widespread, representing 85 to 90% of all cases, but remains the least well-known. Researchers have just discovered the cause of 50% of sporadic breast cancers.

Two new compounds show early promise for destroying breast cancer tumors. Researchers have observed no negative side effects so far. The compounds disrupt bonding of a cancer-related protein.

A drug meant to inhibit tumor growth may have a dangerous side effect.

Psychological intervention programs may not only improve a breast cancer patients' overall health, they may also increase their chance of survival.

New research is helping doctors unlock the genetic mysteries behind breast cancer, helping women discover and treat their disease earlier.

Many women who experience abnormal swelling of the arm or shoulder area following treatment for breast cancer -- a bothersome condition called lymphedema -- suffer in silence, a new survey indicate.

About 80 percent of cancer diagnoses occur in the elderly, but many of their risk factors for the disease are behavioral, a new study revealed.

HealthDay - FRIDAY, Nov. 21 (HealthDay News) -- The cancer-fighting pill Iressa works as well as chemotherapy as a second-line treatment for lung cancer, researchers report.

HealthDay - FRIDAY, Nov. 21 (HealthDay News) -- Latina women are almost six times more likely than white women to report great dissatisfaction and regret about their choice of breast cancer treatment, a new report says.

AP - Some advanced lung cancer patients already treated with chemotherapy might be able to skip some of the bad side effects of another series of chemo by taking a pill instead, a study suggests. An international study showed patients on Iressa, an expensive, newer targeted treatment, survived about as long as those on another course of chemotherapy.

Reuters - The lung cancer pill Iressa has shown surprising results for patients with advanced disease where it has been at least as effective as a standard chemotherapy treatment, researchers reported on Thursday.

AFP - The European Patent Office on Wednesday restored on appeal a controversial patent for a breast cancer gene that had been withdrawn from a US biotech firm, but granting it in a more restricted form than before.

We examined whether pre-existing knowledge of chemotherapy-associated cognitive problems and priming the 'chemo-brain' schema increase the reporting of cognitive complaints.Methods: Two hundred and sixty-one breast cancer patients were interviewed about cognitive problems and other cancer-related symptoms. Preceding the interview, half of the patients were primed with an introduction letter to the study in which the occurrence of cognitive complaints and its relation with chemotherapy was explicated. The remaining patients received a neutral letter that did not mention this…

Two critical properties of cancer cells are their ability to divide without restraint and to spread away from the primary tumor to establish new tumor sites. Now, researchers have found a protein they say acts as a deadly master switch, both freeing cancer cells from a tumor while ramping up new growth. (Source: ScienceDaily Headlines)

I'm hoping it's bubonic plague," I told my oncologist.   She looked startled and poked on my swollen lymph nodes. Then she smiled and said, "That would be neat. I've never treated plague before, and it responds well to antibiotics. Have you traveled in the Southwest recently?"   It's a strange world when you and your oncologist think having bubonic plague is preferable to have a cancer recurrence. We were mostly teasing, trying...

 Sometimes all it takes to bring hope to hundreds of people is to stay alive after a grim cancer prognosis.  That’s what Virginia Hetrick has been doing for seventeen years.  In 1998, when I  joined an on-line support group for Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC), Virginia, who was seven years out from diagnosis, was the longest-term survivor in the group.  In my years on the mailing list, I’ve seen people...

Since Canada has Thanksgiving in October, celebrating another one with us in November will be a novelty for Sister and hubby.

Yesterday while driving and listening to the radio, I heard a report about stress and breast cancer. A study had been conducted over 11 years at Ohio State University. The study included 227 women each divided into groups of about eight or 12, some of which participated in group therapy. The purpose was to determine the benefits of psychological intervention and how it affected breast cancer and recurrence. I found the results astounding! The outcome determined that women who were involved in group therapy were less likely to die from breast cancer. I found the report on ABC health news and…

This is hunting season in Michigan. My husband has been spending the past weekends hunting with a bow and now gun season starts. My father was a sportsman so I grew up well-acquainted with hunters and the like. My husband hunts for deer, my dad hunted for moose. Unfortunately, he was good at it, so like most responsible hunters, we had to eat the meat, and we ate a lot of it when I was little (Moose are really big!). I can tell you right now how moose meat tastes. I hate it. I am not a big fan of deer meat either, but my husband is good at disguising the meat in certain dishes. When I started…

Sister bought me an aluminum water bottle to use this summer and made me promise to never buy water in plastic bottles. Her concern was over the press about the estrogen and carcinogens people were exposed to from the plastic in the bottles leaching into the water. We use a pitcher with a filter for tap water at home. I found it all very confusing and stopped buying bottled water, (except for my son’s energy water) to appease sister but mostly because I believe we should be somewhat sensitive to the environment. Those ads about water bottles piling up at the dump got to me. I make the…

Sister has been listening to me complain about what I call brain damage. After four years, I really believe that I am continuing to suffer from chemo brain. Every now and then, I go over the symptoms with Sister who feels they relate to ADD, so she got me a book on it. Having chemo brain, I seldom read a book from cover to cover starting on chapter one. Because this book is written for people with ADD it is not designed to be read conventionally anyway; this helped me to stick with it. Skimming through the chapters, I began to see how chemo-brain could be diagnosed as ADD. This isn’t so…

Digital mammography provides better-quality imaging, clearer views, and allows for electronic storage (so films can't be lost or misplaced).

Medicare requires that your annual screening mammography be done at least 366 or more days from your last imaging study. Yes, that's right: one year and one day.

Fibrocystic breast tissue is very common and is not something that people should be freaking out about if they've been told they have "it."

Try to avoid eating processed sugar. Simple sugars aren't the best source of energy anyway.

We know that when our immune system goes on the blink, our body's ability to ward off cancer cell production is weakened.
