Fibroid Tumors Triggered By A Single Stem Cell Mutation
May 08, 2012
Fibroid uterine tumors affect an estimated 15 million women in the United States, causing irregular bleeding, anemia, pain and infertility. Despite the high prevalence of the tumors, which occur in 60 percent of women by age 45, the molecular cause has been unknown... Read More
How Does A Broken DNA Molecule Get Repaired?
May 08, 2012
Scientists from the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at Delft University of Technology have discovered a key element in the mechanism of DNA repair. When the DNA double helix breaks, the broken end goes searching for the similar sequence and uses that as a template for repair... Read More

Hypoxia Could Drive Cancer Growth
May 08, 2012
Low oxygen levels in cells may be a primary cause of uncontrollable tumor growth in some cancers, according to a new University of Georgia study. The authors' findings run counter to widely accepted beliefs that genetic mutations are responsible for cancer growth... Read More

Questioning The Necessity Of 6 Month Follow-Up Of Patients With Benign MRI-Guided Breast Biopsies
May 08, 2012
Short term follow-up of patients who have had a negative (benign) MRI-guided vacuum assisted breast biopsy may not be necessary, a new study indicates. The study, conducted at Yale New Haven Hospital in Connecticut, included 144 patients with 176 lesions that were followed anywhere from three months to 36 months... Read More

Additional Malignancies Detected By Pre-Op MRI In Dense & Non-Dense Breasts
May 08, 2012
Newly diagnosed breast cancer patients should undergo a preoperative MRI exam even if their breasts are not dense, a new study indicates. The study found no difference between the usefulness of 3T breast MRI in detecting additional malignancies and high risk lesions in dense versus non-dense breasts... Read More

Malignancy And Resistance Of Breast Cancer Cells Controlled By MicroRNA
May 08, 2012
Many breast cancer patients are treated with a drug called tamoxifen. The substance blocks the effect of estrogen and thus suppresses the growth signals of this hormone in cancer cells. When resistance to the drug develops, tumor cells change their growth program: They change their behavior and shape, become more mobile and also adopt the ability to invade surrounding tissue...
