London [England], Sept. 16 : A recent study suggests that targeting a specific blood vessel molecule may help to prevent the deadly spread of breast cancer.

As per the study, the protein endosialin helps breast tumor cells to escape into the blood stream, reports Daily Mail.

Detecting endosialin may also provide a biomarker test for high-risk breast cancer.

In an exclusive interview to ANI, Cancer survivor and Zumba Fitness enthusiast Reva Kumar said that there is nothing surviving about it, it's about living it and cancer is treatable if detected on time.

Washington DC, 9 July - In a new study, scientists have shown that adding a cheap and widely-available female hormone progesterone to the treatment of some breast cancer patients could help beat the disease.

Washington, June 12 : A new study has revealed that obesity is associated with increased breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women.

An analysis of extended follow-up data from the Women's Health Initiative clinical trials suggests that postmenopausal women who were overweight and obese had an increased risk of invasive breast cancer compared to women of normal weight.

Washington, Jun 4 - A new study has suggested that women aged 50-69 years, who attend mammography screening, reduce their risk of dying from breast cancer by 40 per cent compared to women who are not screened.

Overall, women who are invited to attend mammography screening have a 23 per cent risk reduction in breast cancer death (owing to some attending and some not), compared with women not invited by routine screening programmes.

Washington, Apr 21 : A new study has revealed that South Asian women are likelier to be diagnosed with breast cancer at stages II to IV compared to the general population.

Washington, April 16 - Good news for women! Scientists have come up with a simple bold test to predict future risk of breast cancer.

According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women both in the developed and less developed world, and in the long term the scientists hope that the new method will lead to better prevention and early treatment of the disease.

Washington, Apr.9 - Researchers recently stumbled upon the " fountain of youth" while conducting the breast cancer research.

It was found in the mammary glands of genetically modified mice. A research team led by Professor Rama Khokha has found that when two factors that control tissue development are removed, people could avoid the impact of aging.

Washington, Mar 29 - A team of researchers has found the switch that might tame the most aggressive of breast cancers.

Researchers from Garvan Institute of Medical Research have found that so-called 'triple-negative breast cancers' are two distinct diseases that likely originate from different cell types. This helps explain why survival prospects for women with the diagnosis tend to be either very good or very bad.

Melbourne, Mar 10 : Researchers have recently identified 15 new gene regions linked to breast cancer risk that makes the count up to around 100 markers, which will ultimately help in more efficient screening.

Scientists from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute and Cambridge University, in collaboration with the international Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC), have identified new gene regions.

London, Jan 28 - A new study has revealed that girls who drink a can and a half of sugary cola, lemonade or other fizzy drinks a day are increasing their risk of breast cancer.

Washington, Nov 4 - A new study has demonstrated that practicing "mindfulness" meditation or being involved in a support group has a positive physical impact at the cellular level in breast cancer survivors.

Washington, Oct 15 : Scintists have discovered a new protein called Erbin, which is believed to be an anti-tumor factor in aggressive breast cancer.

London, Oct 7 - The researchers have concluded that breast implants may cause cancer.

Research from the Medical University Vienna, the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Cancer Research cooperated for this study with scientists from Cambridge, Liverpool, Swansea and Australia and concluded that breast implants can cause a new subtype of the rare yet malignant lymphoma known as ALCL.

Washington, Sept 25 - A new study has revealed that overall weight gain during adulthood, especially thickening of the waist area increases the risk of postmenopausal breast cancer by 33 percent.

Washington, Sep 03 - Researchers have recently found the enzyme that controls the metastasis of breast cancer.

The researchs at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, which was among the first to show a link to the spread of breast cancer, found the enzyme, called UBC13, in the breast cancer cells at two to three times the levels of normal healthy cells.

Washington, Aug 15 - A new study has demonstrated that few breast cancer patients who used common antiinflammatory drugs like aspirin or ibuprofen have drastically lower breast cancer recurrence rates.

Washington, Aug 2 - A new study has revealed that women, who recently used birth control pills with high-dose estrogen are prone to increased risk for breast cancer.

Washington, June 11 - Studies have so far suggested no significant association between red meat intake and breast cancer.

However, most have been based on diet during midlife and later, and many lines of evidence suggest that some exposures, potentially including dietary factors, may have greater effects on the development of breast cancer during early adulthood.

Washington, May 19 - Researchers have reported a discovery that they hope would lead to the development of a powerful new way of treating an aggressive form of breast cancer.

The breast cancer subtype in question is commonly called "HER2-positive"; it's a subset of the disease affecting about one patient in four, in which tumor cells overexpress a signaling protein called HER2.

Washington, Apr 10 : A new study has revealed that consuming a high-fat diet is associated with increased risk of certain types of breast cancer.

According to the researchers, high total and saturated fat intake were associated with greater risk of estrogen receptor- and progesterone receptor-positive (ER+PR+) breast cancer (BC), and human epidermal growth factor 2 receptor-negative (HER2-) disease.

Washington, March 21 - A new study has revealed that practicing sport for more than an hour day reduces the risk of contracting breast cancer in women of all ages.

According to a research presented to the European Breast Cancer Conference in Glasgow, women who have the highest level of daily exercise can significantly reduce their risk of contracting breast cancer.

Washington, March 13 : Researchers have found that a gene known to be associated with breast cancer susceptibility, BRCA 1, plays a critical role in fat storage, insulin response and mitochondrial function in skeletal muscle cells.

Dr. Espen Spangenburg, associate professor of kinesiology, and his laboratory team are the first to identify that the BRCA1 protein is expressed in the skeletal muscle of both mice and humans.

Washington, March 4 - A new study has found that yoga can benefit women who are undergoing treatment for breast cancer, as it regulates stress and fights fatigue.

The research has found that patients, who participated in yoga exercises that incorporated controlled breathing, meditation and relaxation techniques into their treatment plan, experienced improved ability to engage in their daily activities, better general health and better regulation of stress hormone cortisol.
