Biomarkers predict risk for invasive breast cancer years before the tumor develops
11-12-2007 · EurekAlert!A team of scientists from the University of California San Francisco has identified distinct molecular markers that predict whether or not a woman is likely to develop subsequent invasive cancer after initial diagnosis with a noninvasive form of early breast cancer. The research, published by Cell Press in the November issue of Cancer Cell, provides critical information that can be used to determine whether a woman should receive more or less aggressive therapy.

- Researchers find two biomarkers with potential to predict breast cancer spread
12-15-2006 · EurekAlert!
Expression of two different proteins taken from primary tumor biopsies is highly associated with spread of breast cancer to nearby lymph nodes, according to researchers who say this protein profile could help identify at an early stage those patients whose disease is likely to metastasize.

- Mailman School of Public Health researchers report blood DNA can be early predictor of liver cancer
04-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health have discovered a means for early detection of liver cancer. Using DNA isolated from serum samples as a baseline biomarker, the scientists examined changes in certain tumor suppressor genes that have been associated with the development of liver carcinomas. This is the first study to prospectively examine potential biomarkers for early detection of liver cancer in high-risk populations.

- Active lifestyle reduces risk of invasive breast cancer
02-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
Six or more hours per week of strenuous recreational activity may reduce the risks of invasive breast cancer by 23 percent, according to researchers from the University of Wisconsin Paul P. Carbone Comprehensive Cancer Center (UWCCC). Their report in the February issue of Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention, based on a survey of over 15,000 women, shows that exercise has a protective effect against invasive breast cancer throughout a woman's lifetime.

- New animal study may explain why alcohol consumption increases breast cancer risk
04-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new study presents the first animal model to confirm alcohol consumption stimulates tumor growth and malignancy of breast cancer and reveals some of the mechanisms of alcohol-induced breast cancer. Findings demonstrate even moderate alcohol consumption significantly stimulates tumor growth of breast cancer.

- Tumor cell activity may provide clues for treating breast cancer in young women
06-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
When women under 50 develop breast cancer the disease tends to be more aggressive and less responsive to treatment than when it occurs in older women. Researchers at the Duke Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy and the Duke University Comprehensive Cancer Center may have discovered a part of the reason why, and their findings may lead to targeted therapies that can help treat patients more effectively.

- Newly identified biomarker detects and regulates spread of brain tumors
11-10-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers have identified a novel biomarker for brain tumors and have uncovered a potential role the marker may play when the tumor spreads or comes back after treatment. The biomarker, a protein known as "soluble attractin," is normally absent in the central nervous system and is undetectable in cerebral spinal fluid unless malignant astrocytomas are present in the CNS. This newfound ability to identify biomarkers for malignant astrocytomas means physicians will have a minimally invasive method to track the success of treatments.

- 2 microRNAs promote spread of tumor cells
01-28-2008 · EurekAlert!
Scientists at The Wistar Institute and their colleagues have identified two microRNAs that promote tumors' deadly spread. One of the miRNAs may provide an early warning of metastatic breast cancer and the need for aggressive treatment. In a study to be published Feb. 1 in Nature Cell Biology that is available online, the researchers describe how two miRNAs transformed non-invasive human breast cancer cells into cells that rapidly metastasized in cell cultures and mice.

- Anxiety linked to newly diagnosed DCIS patients' overestimation of breast cancer risks
02-12-2008 · EurekAlert!
Elevated levels of anxiety may cause women with ductal carcinoma in situ, the most common form of non-invasive breast cancer, to overestimate their risk of recurrence or dying from breast cancer, suggests a study led by researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
