Published in the July 15, 2009 issue of CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the study indicates that additional research should be undertaken to determine the effects of antioxidant supplementation on the health and survival of breast cancer patients. http://www.huliq.com/11/81927/despite-possible-consequences-breast-cancer-patients-take-high-doses-antioxidants#comments Health antioxidants breast cancer breast cancer treatment Mon, 08 Jun 2009 02:28:43 -0500 harminka 81927 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/81259/african-american-women-advanced-breast-cancer-refuse-chemotherapy A new study finds that nearly one in four African American women with late stage breast cancer refused chemotherapy and radiation therapy, potentially life saving therapies. Published in the July 1, 2009 issue of CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the study indicates that more efforts are needed to ensure that all women with breast cancer receive appropriate care. http://www.huliq.com/11/81259/african-american-women-advanced-breast-cancer-refuse-chemotherapy#comments Health breast cancer breast cancer treatment women's health Fri, 22 May 2009 11:42:48 -0500 harminka 81259 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/80953/new-program-helps-women-breast-cancer Pathfinders, a program designed to care for the whole person -- body, mind and spirit -- has been found to help women with terminal breast cancer cope and improved their quality of life, according to a study led by researchers in the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center. http://www.huliq.com/11/80953/new-program-helps-women-breast-cancer#comments Health breast cancer breast cancer treatment women's health Fri, 15 May 2009 14:50:15 -0500 harminka 80953 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/80819/new-gene-provides-breast-cancer-treatment-options Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have discovered how a gene crucial in triggering the spread of breast cancer is turned on and off. The findings could help predict whether breast tumors will metastasize and also reveal potential drug targets for preventing breast cancer metastasis. The study will appear in the May 20th online edition of the Journal of Cell Science. http://www.huliq.com/11/80819/new-gene-provides-breast-cancer-treatment-options#comments Health breast cancer breast cancer treatment Tue, 12 May 2009 12:14:31 -0500 harminka 80819 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/80602/new-universal-breast-cancer-marker-predicts-recurrence Reporting online in the American Journal of Pathology, researchers from the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson have implicated the loss of a stromal protein called caveolin-1 as a major new prognostic factor in patients with breast cancer, predicting early disease recurrence, metastasis and breast cancer patient survival. http://www.huliq.com/11/80602/new-universal-breast-cancer-marker-predicts-recurrence#comments Health breast cancer breast cancer treatment Wed, 06 May 2009 13:41:10 -0500 harminka 80602 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/80556/new-gene-predicts-local-recurrence-breast-cancer A newly discovered gene known as DEAR1 is mutated in breast cancer and is an independent predictor of local recurrence-free survival in early-onset breast cancer, a research team headed by scientists at The University of Texas M.
