Anthracycline Regimens May Worsen 'Chemobrain' in Breast Cancer Survivors
December 3rd 2015Patients with breast cancer who have received anthracycline-based (ANTHR) chemotherapy may be more likely to experience "chemobrain"-a cancer-related cognitive impairment that can affect memory, attention, and physical function-than those treated with nonanthracycline-based regimens.
Genetic Testing May Add Confusion to Treatment Decisions
November 23rd 2015As genetic testing becomes increasingly available, there will be a growing gap between the wide availability of testing and the relative importance of results to treatment decisions. In the current environment, there's more promise in precision medicine than practical applications in the exam room.
Partial Breast Irradiation as Effective as Conventional Therapy
October 29th 2015Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) using multicatheter brachytherapy in patients with early-stage breast cancer was not inferior to conventional whole breast irradiation (WBI), according to a phase III study presented at the 2015 American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting.
Preventive Mastectomy May Not Benefit, but Decision Tool Can Help
October 26th 2015Contralateral prophylactic mastectomies (CPM) have been a growing trend among women at average risk of breast cancer with a diagnosis of cancer in one breast, but the procedure is not medically recommended for this population.

Does Adjuvant Radiation Make Sense for Older Patients With Triple-Negative Breast Cancer?
October 2nd 2015Little is known about the potential benefits of adjuvant radiotherapy in older women diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), but findings of a retrospective study reported at the 2015 Breast Cancer Symposium suggest that the approach may be worth considering for this population.
Hormones May Protect Ovaries, Preserve Fertility in Breast Cancer
September 29th 2015Chemotherapy in young women can damage ovaries and result in premature menopause, but new research shows that the addition of hormonal treatment may preserve ovarian function and fertility in patients with breast cancer and may increase the chances of pregnancy after treatment.
Diet With Extra Olive Oil May Lower Risk of Breast Cancer
September 17th 2015A study to test the effects of the Mediterranean diet on the prevention of cardiovascular disease yielded an unexpected result-the Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) lowered the risk of breast cancer in older women by 68%.
Acupuncture Abates Hot Flashes in Breast Cancer Survivors
September 14th 2015Hot flashes are severe, daily nuisances for many breast cancer survivors, but a few needle pricks from acupuncture may be enough to cool the unpleasant episodes, according to a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
