   The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 178,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die as a result of breast cancer in 2007. One way to battle these numbers is through increased information sharing and use of early detection methods. A new study from the University of Missouri-Columbia has found that spirituality might play an important role in achieving this, particularly for African-American women.

10. Role of TRPM8 in the development of prostate cancer
    05-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
    In normal prostate epithelium, cells coexist in many stages of development-differentiation, and disrupted differentiation and proliferation are major causes of cancer. A new study shows that the endoplasmic reticulum protein TRPM8 (ER-TRPM8) present in human prostate epithelial luminal cancer cells retains it’s function as a calcium release channel, independent of the differentiation state of the cell, and may be an important factor in controlling the growth of prostate cancer cells.
