Is it Time to Think Outside the Box?: New Approaches to Genetics Services
August 28th 2014The demand for genetic services has never been greater. Vast advances in genetic technology, Angelina Jolie's disclosure that she is a BRCA mutation carrier, and the Supreme Court ruling on gene patents have hurled genetic services into the mainstream. Since the Supreme Court ruling last year, the cost of germline (hereditary) genetic testing has plummeted and now includes panels of genes.
Trial Suggests Potential Role for DHEA in Relieving Vaginal Symptoms
August 28th 2014A randomized multi-center trial examining the efficacy of adding the prohormone dehydroepiandosterone (DHEA) to a vaginal bioadhesive moisturizer in postmenopausal survivors of breast or gynecologic cancer has found that daily rather than as-needed use of such a moisturizer significantly relieves symptoms of vaginal atrophy in these women, and that when DHEA is added, survivors report significant improvements in sexual desire, arousal, pain, and overall sexual function.
Dr. Jagsi Discusses the Benefits of Hypofractionated Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer
August 21st 2014Reshma Jagsi, MD, DPhil, associate professor, Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Michigan Health System, discusses the benefits of hypofractionated radiotherapy for patients with breast cancer.
Most Patients Don't Opt for Breast Reconstruction and They Don't Regret It
August 20th 2014Even though universal coverage for postmastectomy breast reconstruction is mandated, a new study has found that the majority of women are deciding not to undergo breast reconstruction surgery following a mastectomy.
Can NSAIDs Help Prevent Recurrence in Overweight Breast Cancer Patients?
August 19th 2014Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have found that postmenopausal overweight or obese breast cancer patients receiving hormone therapy as part of their treatment who use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have significantly lower breast cancer recurrence rates and a sizable delay in time to cancer recurrence.
Arin Hanson Discusses the Results of a National Needs Assessment of Young Women with Breast Cancer
August 13th 2014Arin Ahlum Hanson, MPH, CHES, manager, Young Women's Initiative, Living Beyond Breast Cancer, discusses the results of a national needs assessment of young women with breast cancer that was conducted by the Young Women's Initiative.
Exercise Lowers Breast Cancer Risk, But Benefits Fade When Activity Stops
August 12th 2014A new study has found that postmenopausal women who undertook regular physical activity equivalent to at least 4 hours of walking per week in the last 4 years had a lower risk for invasive breast cancer compared with women who exercised less during those 4 years.
PALB2, BRCA2 Gene Mutations Confer Similar Breast Cancer Risk
August 8th 2014Women harboring a loss-of-function mutation in the PALB2 gene demonstrated an increased risk of developing breast cancer that was similar to the predisposition seen with mutations in the infamous BRCA gene, according to a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
Acupuncture Offers Quality-of-Life Benefits for Patients Taking AIs
July 30th 2014A new study led by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania has shown that electroacupuncture produces significant improvements in fatigue, anxiety, and depression in as little as 8 weeks for early-stage breast cancer patients experiencing joint pain related to the use of aromatase inhibitors (AIs).
Trastuzumab-Associated Cardiac Events Reversible, Outweighed by Benefits
July 18th 2014Cardiac events associated with trastuzumab (Herceptin) are mostly reversible and outweighed by significant extensions in overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer
Dr. Jagsi on the Adoption of Hypofractionated Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer
June 24th 2014Reshma Jagsi, MD, DPhil, associate professor, Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Michigan Health System, discusses an analysis of the adoption of hypofractionated radiotherapy for early-stage invasive breast cancer.
For Breast Cancer Patients at Known BRCA Risk, a Role for Testing Prior to Surgery
June 17th 2014The majority of women with breast cancer who undergo the recommended genetic testing for BRCA1/2 mutations and test positive prior to undergoing surgery will change their surgical plan to include a more extensive procedure, a new study reports.
Nurses Design Proactive, Patient-Centered Program to Reduce Lymphedema Risk
June 11th 2014A pilot study of an educational and behavioral program conducted by researchers at the New York University College of Nursing has successfully reduced the risk of lymphedema in breast cancer patients who have undergone axillary lymph node dissection or sentinel lymph node biopsy.
Survey Finds More Inquiries to Genetic Counselors, Including From the "Worried-Well"
June 9th 2014A recent survey conducted by the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) showed a significant increase in patient calls and requests for testing and referrals from healthcare providers in the year following actress Angelina Jolie's announcement of her BRCA mutation status and subsequent double mastectomy.
Dosing Zoledronic Acid Less Often Doesn't Reduce Efficacy
June 3rd 2014Phase III trial results presented at the 2014 ASCO Annual Meeting showed that the dosing frequency of zoledronic acid (Zometa) can be reduced by 67% without compromising effectiveness in women with breast cancer and bone metastases, potentially lowering the risk of serious adverse events.
Key Role for Exemestane in Preventing Breast Cancer Recurrence in Premenopausal Women
June 2nd 2014Adjuvant exemestane reduced the relative risk of developing subsequent invasive cancer in hormone-receptor–positive (HR+) premenopausal women by 28% compared with tamoxifen when both agents were combined with ovarian function suppression (OFS)
Study Finds Survival and Fertility Benefit When Goserelin Augments Breast Cancer Chemo
June 1st 2014A new study presented at the 2014 ASCO Annual Meeting has found that adding goserelin to chemotherapy for women with early-stage hormone receptor (HR)-negative breast cancer helps both to preserve their fertility and to prolong their survival.
