Part of an oral presentation at the recent Society of Surgical Oncology's 65th Annual Cancer Symposium in Orlando, revealed that a stratification of age, race and hormone receptor status helps to predict survival in node-negative breast cancer patients...

Research from investigators at The Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ), UMDNJ-School of Public Health (SPH) and UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, indicates that tumor size stratified by age, race and hormone receptor status helps predict survival in node-negative breast cancer patients.

(Southern Methodist University) Scientific literature suggests WIC, a US government nutritional program, improves birth outcomes of children. The literature disregards that mothers underreport their WIC benefits while acknowledging WIC serves the very poor. Now a study that accounts for both was unable to find WIC has either a positive or ...

(The Translational Genomics Research Institute) Because cases of triple-negative breast cancer are so genetically different, whole-genome sequencing is needed to detect the subtle molecular differences that might point to specific treatments for individual patients.

Could blocking a testosterone receptor lead to a new way to treat an aggressive form of breast cancer? That's a question researchers at Mayo Clinic in Arizona and the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) are exploring. Preliminary results of a Mayo Clinic - TGen collaborative study shows the testosterone receptor ...
