New Way To Get Physical In The Fight Against Cancer
Conventional biological wisdom holds that living cells interact with their environment through an elaborate network of chemical signals. As a result many therapies for the treatment of cancer and other diseases in which cell behavior goes awry focus on drugs that block or disrupt harmful chemical signals...

Technology May Reduce Need For Repeat Cancer Surgery
Every year more than 100,000 women in the United States undergo a lumpectomy, a conservative procedure to remove cancerous tumors while preserving the breast. The surgeon's goal is to attain a tumor-free, or negative, surgical margin the first time they operate...

Research Shows Removing Healthy Breast Does Not Improve Breast Cancer Survival, NYT Columnist Writes
Recent studies show that more women with cancer in one breast are opting for removal of both breasts, even though removal of the healthy breast does little to improve survival rates, New York Times columnist Tara Parker-Pope writes...

Palpable breast cancers are more common in women not undergoing annual mammography
New research findings indicate that some breast cancers continue to be detected as a palpable lump rather than being found through mammographic screening. Patients who presented with palpable tumors -- those detected as a result of breast complaint or during examination -- had larger tumors and were at a more advanced stage at diagnosis.

'Microtentacles' on tumor cells appear to play role in how breast cancer spreads
Researchers have discovered that "microtentacles," or extensions of the plasma membrane of breast cancer cells, appear to play a key role in how cancers spread to distant locations in the body. Targeting these microtentacles, which are linked to a protein called "tau," might prove to be a new way to prevent or slow the growth of these secondary cancers, the scientists say.

Breast cancer screening: MRI sensitive, no added value with mammography, study suggests
Do we need a revision of current recommendations for breast cancer screening? According to a recent study, this appears advisable at least for young women carrying an increased risk of breast cancer. The results of the EVA trial confirm once more that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is substantially more accurate for early diagnosis of breast cancer than digital mammography or breast ultrasound: MRI is three times more sensitive for breast cancer than digital mammography.

New Technology Targets Breast Cancer
Breast cancer can hide in plain sight. In women with denser breast tissue than normal, traditional mammograms may miss dangerous tumors. To address this, Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula is one of 10 centers taking part in a U.S. Food and Drug Administration clinical trial that will look at 20,000 women to test a new technology that promises to spot breast cancer more often.
