Researchers have identified two molecules that could potentially serve as biomarkers in predicting brain metastases in patients with breast cancer, according to data published in Cancer Research, a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-02-microrna-molecule-biomarker-brain-metastases.html Cancer Tue, 05 Feb 2013 13:00:01 EST news279282485 Researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have identified a molecule linked to more aggressive forms of breast cancer – a discovery that could point the way to potential cures. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-12-molecule-linked-late-stage-breast-cancer.html Cancer Mon, 17 Dec 2012 12:42:07 EST news274970519 A protein that is necessary for lactation in mammals inhibits the critical cellular transition that is an early indicator of breast cancer and metastasis, according to research conducted at the University at Buffalo and Princeton University and highlighted as the cover paper in November issue of Nature Cell Biology. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-10-lactation-protein-suppresses-tumors-metastasis.html Cancer Wed, 24 Oct 2012 09:00:01 EST news270284902 A receptor protein suppresses local invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells, the most lethal aspect of the disease, according to a research team headed by scientists from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-09-lifr-protein-suppresses-breast-cancer.html Cancer Tue, 25 Sep 2012 09:35:21 EST news267784508 A lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPAR1) inhibitor, known as Debio-0719, suppresses the development of metastases in mice by inducing cancer cell dormancy, according to a study published August 21 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-08-lpa1-inhibition-metastatic-dormancy-mouse.html Cancer Tue, 21 Aug 2012 16:00:07 EST news264782231 The protein transient receptor potential melastatin-like 7 (TRPM7) is a critical determinant of breast cancer cell metastasis, according to study results published in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-08-trpm7-protein-key-breast-cancer.html Cancer Tue, 07 Aug 2012 13:35:02 EST news263565284 Researchers from VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland have in collaboration with the University of Turku, Indiana University and two Finnish companies, Biotie Therapies Corp. and Pharmatest Services Ltd, discovered a novel mechanism regulating the development of breast cancer bone metastases and showed that heparin-like compounds can potentially be used to inhibit breast cancer metastasis to bone. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-05-heparin-like-compounds-inhibit-breast-cancer.html Cancer Mon, 21 May 2012 10:23:06 EST news256814519 Lymph nodes help to fight off infections by producing immune cells and filtering foreign materials from the body, such as bacteria or cancer cells. Thus, one of the first places that cancer cells are found when they leave the primary tumor is in the lymph nodes. The spread of cancer cells to the lymph nodes, lymphatic metastasis, is known to indicate a poor prognosis in many types of cancers; how tumor cells reach the lymph nodes, however, is not well understood. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-04-pathway-linked-breast-cancer-metastasis.html Cancer Mon, 02 Apr 2012 12:00:04 EST news252584321 (Medical Xpress) -- Scientists from the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research together with colleagues from the University of Fribourg have discovered a signaling mechanism controlling mobility and metastasis in breast cancer. They have been able to thus reduce invasiveness of the cancer cells. This is promising for the development of therapies against the types of breast cancer that readily form metastasis and for which a therapy has yet to be found. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-03-inhibiting-cell-migration-breast-cancer.html Cancer Wed, 14 Mar 2012 10:06:50 EST news250938392 A possible new target for breast cancer therapy comes from the discovery that the Tyk2 protein helps suppress the growth and metastasis of breast tumors, as reported in Journal of Interferon & Cytokine Research, a peer-reviewed journal published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-10-potential-therapeutic-breast-cancer.html Cancer Wed, 05 Oct 2011 16:18:58 EST news237050329
