From : oncologynurseadvisor.com The risk for second primary cancers is higher for breast cancer survivors than for women in the general population; however, the risk remains low and is mostly driven by contralateral breast cancer, according to a study published online Aug. 27 in The BMJ. Paul McGale, Ph.D., from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, and colleagues …
5-Year Phase 2 Data Show 0% Recurrence Rate After Surgery Omission in Select Patients With Invasive Breast Cancer
By: Chris Ryan From: onclive.com Key Takeaways Omitting surgery post-neoadjuvant therapy in select breast cancer patients showed a 0% 5-year recurrence rate and 100% survival rates with whole breast radiation alone. The trial involved patients with a biopsy-confirmed complete response, who did not undergo surgery, highlighting the potential for non-surgical management. Patient-reported outcomes indicated high satisfaction, with improved comfort over …
Ductal Carcinoma Quadruples Risk of Invasive Breast Cancer
From: insideprecisionmedicine.com Women who are diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) are around four times as likely to develop invasive breast cancer and to die from breast cancer than women in the general population, according to a study published by The BMJ this week. This increased risk lasted for at least 25 years after diagnosis, suggesting that DCIS survivors …
Receptor Status Among Patients With Invasive Breast Cancer: What’s Missing?
By: Matthew Stenger From: ascopost.com In a study of SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) data reported in JAMA Network Open, Stephens et al found that approximately 5% of patients with invasive breast cancer had missing components of receptor status and identified several factors associated with the lack of information. Study Details and Key Findings The study involved data from …
Healthy breast fat may protect against invasive breast cancer
Source: Turun yliopisto (University of Turku) From: news-medical.net Researchers have found a possible explanation as to why higher breast density and older age increase the risk of breast cancer. In an innovative study, researchers at the Turku Bioscience Centre, InFLAMES Flagship of the University of Turku, and Turku University Hospital, Finland, have made an extraordinary discovery that turns conventional wisdom …
Researchers identify MRI findings linked with invasive breast cancer
By: Hannah Murphy From: healthimaging.com Focal edema observed on breast MRI exams could signal a more invasive cancer diagnosis for women who display such findings. According to a new paper published in Insights into Imaging, focal edema on T2-weighted images (T2WI) was recently found to positively correlate with several factors indicative of a tumor’s invasiveness. The authors of the new …
Study of Immune ‘Neighborhoods’ Highlights Macrophages as Key Players in Invasive Breast Cancers
By: Asher Jones From: inside.upmc.com Most immunotherapies, which aim to boost T cell activity, work poorly in treating estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. Targeting a different type of immune cell called macrophages could be a more effective approach, suggests a comprehensive new analysis of invasive ER+ breast cancers led by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientists. Published today in …
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Appears Superior for Invasive Breast Cancer Detection
By: John Schieszer From: cancertherapyadvisor.com Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is more effective than digital 2D mammography for detecting invasive breast cancer, according to research published in The Lancet Oncology. In the TOSYMA trial, researchers compared DBT plus synthesized 2D mammograms (DBT-s2D) with standard 2D full-field digital mammography (2D-FFDM) and found a significantly higher rate of invasive breast cancer detection with …
Understanding the Difference Between Invasive and Metastatic Breast Cancer
From: healthline.com Understanding Abnormal Cells Abnormal cells aren’t cancerous, but they may increase your risk of developing cancer. When you have atypical cells that haven’t spread, the cells are considered noninvasive. This is sometimes referred to as pre-cancer or stage 0 cancer. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is an example of this. DCIS is a noninvasive breast cancer of the …
Aging breast tissue could set the stage for invasive breast cancer
Source: University of Notre Dame From: sciencedaily.com The American Cancer Society estimates that 284,200 women will be newly diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021, and 43,600 will die of the disease — the second highest cause of cancer death in women. A woman’s risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer increases with age, but while scientists have long studied cellular …
