(HealthDay)—Researchers report that they've identified another genetic variation that appears connected to male breast cancer, a rare condition that kills several hundred men in the United States each year. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-09-links-gene-variant-male-breast.html Cancer Sun, 23 Sep 2012 15:00:41 EST news267631206 (Medical Xpress) -- A molecular 'post-it note' added to a breast cancer gene could flag up the risk that the disease will spread in patients, according to research published in the BJC today. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-07-post-it-breast-cancer-gene-disease.html Cancer Thu, 12 Jul 2012 08:30:01 EST news261298331 Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for the breast cancer genes BRCA1/2 is now feasible and established, with good success rates for those treated, according to investigators from the reproduction, oncology and genetics centres of the university hospitals of Maastricht and Brussels. The results follow a review of the largest number of PGD treatments for BRCA1/2 in Europe and were presented today at the annual meeting of ESHRE (European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology) by Professor Willem Verpoest from the Centre for Reproductive Medicine at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-07-hereditary-breast-ovarian-cancer-pgd.html Cancer Mon, 02 Jul 2012 04:10:27 EST news260421020 Researchers from the University of Adelaide are hoping to better understand why the mutated genes for breast and ovarian cancer are not passed on more frequently from one generation of women to the next. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-05-mystery-breast-cancer-genes.html Genetics Tue, 08 May 2012 19:00:05 EST news255697070 A person’s risk of breast cancer could be decided many years before it develops, according to a new study. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-05-breast-cancer-years.html Cancer Wed, 02 May 2012 04:30:01 EST news255150698 Scientists at the BC Cancer Agency and University of British Columbia have identified new breast cancer genes that could change the way the disease is diagnosed and form the basis of next-generation treatments. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-04-scientists-breast-cancer-genes-rewrite.html Cancer Wed, 18 Apr 2012 13:00:15 EST news253972596 A new study has found that when parents get tested for breast cancer genes, many of them share their results with their children, even with those who are very young. Published early online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the study also revealed that most parents think that their children are not distressed when they learn about the test results. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-01-parents-breast-cancer-genes-results.html Cancer Mon, 09 Jan 2012 04:43:30 EST news245306599 New research out of McGill University's Goodman Cancer Research Centre provides compelling new evidence that a gene known as 14-3-3σ plays a critical role in halting breast cancer initiation and progression. The study, led by the Dept. of Biochemistry's William J. Muller, will be published online today in the journal Cancer Discovery. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-11-gene-breast-cancer.html Cancer Tue, 29 Nov 2011 13:48:25 EST news241796898 A federal appeals court on Friday ruled in favor of Myriad Genetics after a legal battle over whether the US company could keep its patent on genes linked to an inherited form of breast cancer. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-07-myriad-patent-breast-cancer-genes.html Cancer Sat, 30 Jul 2011 03:43:16 EST news231216176
