Researchers discover novel role of the NEDD9 gene in early stages of breast cancer
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women in the United States. Many of these deaths occur when there is an initial diagnosis of invasive or metastatic disease. A protein called NEDD9—which ...

Improving the accuracy of cancer diagnoses: New spectroscopy technique could help doctors better identify breast tumors
Tiny calcium deposits can be a telltale sign of breast cancer. However, in the majority of cases these microcalcifications signal a benign condition. A new diagnostic procedure developed at MIT and Case Western ...

Avastin won't extend breast cancer survival: study
(HealthDay)—The drug Avastin (bevacizumab), when added to chemotherapy, does not improve disease-free survival in patients with triple-negative breast cancer any better than chemo alone, new research finds.
