Washington, Mar 20 (ANI): Rare mutations in the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene, combined with radiation exposure, might put a woman more at risk of developing a second cancer in the opposite breast, according to a study.
Breast cancer survivors are at increased risk of developing a second cancer in the other, or contralateral breast, compared [...]

Washington, July 10 (ANI): Scientists from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre have identified a protein that helps TB bacteria resist immune response, and remain latent in the body for decades.

They hope that the new discovery may lead to new [...]

Washington, July 3 (ANI): Researchers from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre claim to have identified a cellular pathway that is involved in spread of lung cancer.

It is the same cellular pathway that has been shown to be involved with the spread of colorectal cancer, say the researchers.

The pathway enhances lung cancer’s ability to infiltrate [...]

London, May 7 (ANI): A group of scientists have identified three genes that specifically mediate the metastasis, or spread, of breast cancer to the brain and how.

Researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) have found that COX2 and HB-EGF – genes that induce cancer cell mobility and invasiveness – are the genetic mediators in the [...]

Washington, May 1 (ANI): A new study has discovered six major factors that can affect a woman’s happiness with the outcome of her breast surgery.

The research led by Andrea Pusic, from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, has determined that, as well as final breast appearance, there are five other major concerns that influence surgical [...]

Washington, April 11 (ANI): A novel therapy for metastatic prostate cancer has shown considerable promise in early clinical trials by reducing signs of the disease in patients with drug-resistant cancer.

Of 30 men who received low doses of one the drugs in a multisite phase I/II trial designed to evaluate safety, 22 showed a sustained decline [...]

London, Mar 16 (ANI): For the first time, scientists have identified a common genetic sequence abnormality that can increase the risk of certain blood disorders.

Researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) have shown that the genetic abnormality can enhance the likelihood of acquiring a mutation in a gene linked to certain blood diseases.

For their research, [...]

London, Feb 20 (ANI): Brit experts have cautioned that repeated breast screening tests could lead to unnecessary treatment while women remain ignorant of the risks.

Attacking the Government’s “unethical” leaflets for mammograms, they have said that these pieces of paper “do not come close to telling the truth.”

Twenty-three leading specialists have warned that breast cancer screening [...]

London, Feb 20 (ANI): Minimally invasive breast surgery may be more concerned with better cosmetic outcomes than cure rates, an expert has warned.

Monica Morrow, chief of the breast service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre in New York, has [...]
