UVA scientists working to find end-around method to stop triple-negative breast cancer   So-called "triple-negative" breast cancer is a particularly aggressive and difficult-to-treat form. It accounts for only about 10 percent of breast cancer cases, but is responsible for about 25 percent of breast cancer fatalities.       Oncologists find new biomarker for breast cancer having poor prognosis   With the support of the FWF, an oncologist found a biomarker for breast cancer having a poor prognosis and developed two viable methods to detect it in tissue samples.

UT Southwestern researchers take early step toward personalized care for breast cancer   UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have developed a method to map protein changes that occur in different subtypes of breast cancer cells in response to DNA damage from a new class of chemotherapy drugs.         HCI researchers observe how breast cancer tumors evolve over time   A new study by researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah observed how breast cancer tumors evolve over time and demonstrated how changes within tumors may contribute to the process by which cancers no longer respond to treatment.         Abbreviated breast MRI may be valuable cancer detection tool for women with dense breasts   Among women with dense breast tissue, for whom traditional mammograms are less effective at detecting cancer, who request additional screening after a negative mammogram, abbreviated breast MRI may be a valuable cancer detection tool.

Researchers identify previously unknown breast cell types   A joint effort by breast cancer researchers and bioinformaticians has provided new insights into the molecular changes that drive breast development.       Urban American-Indian, Alaskan Native community more likely to have lower cancer survival rates   Compared with the non-Hispanic white population, the urban American-Indian and Alaskan Native (AIAN) community was more likely to have lower survival rates following invasive prostate and breast cancer.       ‘Chemo brain’ may start as tumors form and develop, suggests study   The memory and thinking problems experienced by cancer survivors, known as "chemo brain" or "chemo fog," are not just the result of chemotherapy treatment, they may start as tumors form and develop, suggests a Baycrest-led study.       Extramammary Paget’s Disease (EMPD) Overview   Extramammary Paget disease or EPMD is a rare disease characterized by the appearance of a chronic skin rash, resembling eczema, in the genital areas.       Biophotonics in Cell Biology Studies   Biophotonics is a branch of science where the interaction between biological substances as well as light is used for probing, manipulating and imaging cells and tissues. This emerging technique is widely used in various fields such as medicine, agriculture, and in studies related to life science and environment.
