Obesity Increases Lymphedema Risk For Breast Cancer Survivors
Throughout the world, 10 million breast cancer survivors have a lifetime risk for developing lymphedema, a chronic condition that involves swelling of the limbs and impacts physical and psychosocial health. In a new study, researchers found that the risk of developing lymphedema is 40 percent to 60 percent higher in women with body mass index classified as overweight or obese compared to normal weight women. The researchers recommend increased health education for breast cancer survivors.

Breast Cancer: Diet High In Vegetables, Fruit And Fiber May Cut Risk Of Cancer Recurrence In Women Without Hot Flashes
A secondary analysis of a large, multicenter clinical trial has shown that a diet loaded with fruits, vegetables and fiber and somewhat lower in fat compared to standard federal dietary recommendations cuts the risk of recurrence in a subgroup of early-stage breast cancer survivors -- women who didn't have hot flashes -- by approximately 31 percent. These patients typically have higher recurrence and lower survival rates than breast cancer patients who have hot flashes.

Team Finds Breast Cancer Gene Linked To Disease Spread
A team of researchers at Princeton University and The Cancer Institute of New Jersey has identified a long-sought gene that is fatefully switched on in 30 to 40 percent of all breast cancer patients, spreading the disease, resisting traditional chemotherapies and eventually leading to death.

Molecular Determinants Of The Inflammatory Breast Cancer Phenotype
Despite advances in multimodality treatment, inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) remains the most aggressive and lethal form of breast cancer. The use of primary human IBC cell lines and functional in vivo xenograft cancer models have revealed characteristics innate to IBC thought to confer a strong metastatic potential and aggressive phenotype.

Gene Helps Breast Cancer Spread And Resist Chemo
Scientists in the US looking for genomic changes in breast tumor samples found that a gene called metadherin (MTDH) appears to play a dual role in both helping cancer spread (metastasis) and maintain resistance to chemotherapy.

Cyclophilin B Is A Possible New Target For Treating Breast Cancer
Dr. Charles Clevenger and colleagues at Northwestern University have uncovered that cyclophilin B may contribute to progression in breast cancer. Their report can be found in the January 2009 issue of The American Journal of Pathology. The protein cyclophilin B affects cell division, motility, and death, all of which are altered in cancerous cells. To explore the role of cyclophilin B-mediated gene regulation in breast cancer, Dr.

UPCI Researcher Receives Grant To Study Breast Cancer Biomarkers
Susan G. Komen for the Cure has awarded Jean Johanna Latimer, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Molecular Genetics and Biochemistry Program at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI), a grant to develop biomarkers that will help identify which forms of a common, noninvasive cancer-ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)-will metastasize. The research, focusing in part on DCIS in African-American women, may eventually spare patients from unnecessary treatments.
