Biomarker predicts tamoxifen breast cancer response
Tamoxifen, in combination with chemotherapy and surgery, is commonly used to treat hormone-responsive breast cancer, but is still only effective in a proportion of affected women. A biomarker Read more...
Next-gen sequencing pinpoints breast cancer biomarkers
Next-generation sequencing (NGS)--faster and cheaper genome sequencing--has revolutionized the search for genes connected with disease, and each week more DNA- and RNA-based biomarkers are found. In Read more...
Researchers homing in on biomarkers for chemotherapy heart injury
Doxorubicin--often known by patients as "the red stuff"--is a common and effective treatment for breast cancer but can cause damage to the heart in a small group. Researchers at Ohio State University Read more...
Exercise cuts breast cancer markers
Exercise is good for you. Everyone says so--it keeps your weight down, lowers your blood pressure and reduces your risk of heart attack or stroke. Research at the American Institute for Cancer Read more...
Researchers diminish false positive risk in breast cancer biomarker panel
Thanks to a protein biomarker panel, researchers have found a promising way to determine whether breast lumps are benign or malignant. While the panel still carries the threat of false positives, as Read more...
UPDATED: Researchers home in on breast cancer biomarker
Researchers at the Maine Medical Center Research Institute have discovered a potential cancer biomarker by detecting a specific protein in patients' blood. While the protein was first suspected to be Read more...
Biomarkers can help with basic understanding of breast cancer
Joyce O'Shaughnessy, a researcher at Baylor Sammons Cancer Center in Dallas, is interviewed by OncLive about the future of breast cancer biomarkers. O'Shaughnessy says that because of the complex Read more...
'Systems biology' could find earliest signs of breast cancer
A biomarker is not necessarily one single smoking gun that tells a doctor a disease is on its way. Biomarkers are sometimes a series of changes undergone inside the body, and the challenge for Read more...
Gold nanoparticles detect PSA for breast cancer
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has long been the best biomarker available for early detection of prostate cancer, despite problems with over-diagnoses and false positives. As it turns out, the PSA Read more...
Researchers shed tears for cancer biomarkers
Mivision, an optical industry trade publication, tells us about a search for biomarkers within tears that could indicate diseases such as breast cancer. The research is being led by Mark Willcox, Read more...
