 Beyond BRCA: Epigenetic Silencing in Breast CancerBeyond BRCA: Epigenetic Silencing in Breast Cancer
 
An interview with Professor William Newman, discussing his recent discovery in the field of breast cancer research, and the options that this will provide for women who have a family history of breast cancer but test negative for BRCA1/2 mutations.
 
   Polygenic screening could inform breast cancer risk in female survivors of pediatric cancerPolygenic screening could inform breast cancer risk in female survivors of pediatric cancer
 
A combined evaluation of common variants with small effects and rare predisposing mutations among young female childhood cancer survivors may further stratify this high-risk population for subsequent breast cancer risk.

Study: Mastectomy does not completely eliminate need for future breast imagingThe proportion of breast cancer patients who are eligible for breast conservation therapy, yet opt for mastectomy, is increasing, for reasons that include the desire to eliminate future screening and/or biopsy of the remaining breast tissue.
 
 
 Postmenopausal women who lost weight had lower risk of developing invasive breast cancer
 
Postmenopausal women who lost weight had lower risk of developing invasive breast cancerIn a study of postmenopausal women, participants who lost weight had a lower risk of developing invasive breast cancer than those who maintained or gained weight. Published early online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the findings suggest that weight loss may help lower postmenopausal women's breast cancer risk.
 
 
 Study of Nigerian breast cancer patients reveals prevalence of aggressive molecular features
 
Study of Nigerian breast cancer patients reveals prevalence of aggressive molecular featuresA study comparing DNA and RNA data from Nigerian breast cancer patients to patients in a United States database found that certain aggressive molecular features were far more prevalent in tumors from Nigerian women than in black or white American women.
 
 
 Advanced breast cancer patients can benefit from immunotherapy-chemotherapy combination
 
Advanced breast cancer patients can benefit from immunotherapy-chemotherapy combinationPatients with an aggressive form of advanced breast cancer can benefit from immunotherapy when used in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment, according to the results of a large international Phase III clinical trial published today in the New England Journal of Medicine and led by a researcher at the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
 
 
 Immunotherapy trial offers new hope for people with aggressive breast cancer
 
Immunotherapy trial offers new hope for people with aggressive breast cancerThere is new hope for people with an aggressive type of breast cancer, as an immunotherapy trial shows for the first time that lives can be extended in people with triple-negative breast cancer.
 
 
 Study reveals new treatment option for women with advanced breast cancer resistant to hormone therapy
 
Study reveals new treatment option for women with advanced breast cancer resistant to hormone therapyTreatment with the cyclin dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor palbociclib achieves a clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival in patients with hormone receptor positive human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative advanced breast cancer that has relapsed or progressed on hormonal therapy, according to the final analysis of overall survival results from the PALOMA-3 study reported at ESMO 2018.
 
 
 Targeting a protein could be key for suppressing breast cancer metastasis, study suggests
 
Targeting a protein could be key for suppressing breast cancer metastasis, study suggestsA new study by University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center researchers suggests that targeting a protein known as collagen XIII could be key for suppressing breast cancer metastasis.
 
 
 New findings could benefit patients with triple-negative breast cancer
 
New findings could benefit patients with triple-negative breast cancerAbout 15 percent of breast cancers are classified as triple-negative, lacking receptors for estrogen, progesterone, and Her2.
 
 
 Shorter course of trastuzumab could be an option for women with HER2+ early breast cancer
 
Shorter course of trastuzumab could be an option for women with HER2+ early breast cancerWomen with HER2-positive early breast cancer with small tumours have similar disease-free survival and lower risk of cardiac toxicity with a nine-week course of adjuvant trastuzumab compared to those treated for one year, according to a subgroup analysis of the Short-HER trial reported at ESMO 2018 Congress in Munich.
 
 
 Fish oil based diets may suppress growth and spread of breast cancer cells
 
Fish oil based diets may suppress growth and spread of breast cancer cellsOmega-3 fatty acids, such as those typically contained in fish oil, may suppress the growth and spread of breast cancer cells in mice.
 
 
 High rate of non-adherence to hormonal therapy found among premenopausal early breast cancer patients
 
High rate of non-adherence to hormonal therapy found among premenopausal early breast cancer patientsNearly one in six premenopausal women being treated for early stage breast cancer do not adhere adequately to tamoxifen therapy after one year of treatment, potentially putting themselves at increased risk of recurrence and reduced survival, a French prospective study reports at ESMO 2018.

Wireless 'bio-patch' could aid recovery after breast reconstruction surgeryPatient studies of a new sensing device have proved it can provide early warning of the potential failure of breast reconstruction surgery, making it easier to take effective remedial action.

Researchers develop diagnostic test to determine risk of developing malignant breast cancerCurrently, with a pre-malignant breast cancer diagnosis from a biopsy, there are three options: observation, chemoprevention or surgery, all of which require a patient to make decisions while operating from a place of fear and unknown outcomes.
