• Circulating Tumor Cells Linked to Worse Prognosis in Early-Stage Disease

  Published on June 19, 2012 at 12:00 am

  • Tags: Early-stage: Stage IA, Early-stage: Stage IB, Early-stage: Stage IIA, Early-stage: Stage IIB, Early-stage: Stage IIIA, Non-Metastatic, and Blood Marker Tests

  A study has found that circulating tumor cells in the bloodstream are linked to worse prognosis in people diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.

• Researchers Identify 10 Genetic Error Patterns in Breast Cancer

  Published on April 23, 2012 at 12:00 am

  • Tags: Genetics (including BRCA)

  Researchers have found 10 patterns of genetic errors linked to breast cancer's prognosis and how it responds to treatment.

• Women Older Than 65 Have Worse Outcomes After Breast Cancer Diagnosis

  Published on February 7, 2012 at 12:00 am

  • Tags: Progesterone Receptor Positive Cancer, Estrogen Receptor Positive Cancer, Non-Metastatic, Early-stage: Stage 0 -- DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma in Situ), Early-stage: Stage IA, Early-stage: Stage IB, Early-stage: Stage IIA, Early-stage: Stage IIB, and Early-stage: Stage IIIA

  A large study has found that women older than 65 diagnosed with early-stage, hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer had worse outcomes than younger women with similar diagnoses.

• When Breast Cancer Doctors Collaborate, Women More Satisfied

  Published on December 16, 2011 at 12:00 am

  • Tags:

  A study found that women whose doctors actively collaborated throughout the course of breast cancer treatment were more satisfied with their treatment than women whose doctors didn't collaborate.

• Worldwide Risk of Being Diagnosed with Breast Cancer Increasing

  Published on September 15, 2011 at 12:00 am

  • Tags:

  A new analysis of global trends over a 30-year span shows that breast and cervical cancers are on the rise.

• Breast Cancer Cells in Sentinel Lymph Node Don’t Affect Survival

  Published on July 26, 2011 at 12:00 am

  • Tags: Non-Metastatic, Early-stage: Stage 0 -- DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma in Situ), Early-stage: Stage IA, Early-stage: Stage IB, Early-stage: Stage IIA, Early-stage: Stage IIB, and Early-stage: Stage IIIA

  Research strongly suggests that occult metastases in the sentinel lymph node of women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer don't affect survival.

• Obesity Doesn’t Affect Survival in Metastatic Disease

  Published on June 10, 2011 at 12:00 am

  • Tags: Metastatic, Metastatic/Advanced-stage: Stage IV, and Obesity

  Research has found that being overweight or obese at diagnosis doesn't affect the survival of women diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer.

• High C-Reactive Protein Levels May Influence Prognosis

  Published on June 3, 2011 at 12:00 am

  • Tags: Invasive or Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma, Invasive or Infiltrating Lobular Carcinoma, Non-Metastatic, Early-stage: Stage IA, Early-stage: Stage IB, Early-stage: Stage IIA, Early-stage: Stage IIB, Early-stage: Stage IIIA, Locally Advanced-stage: Stage IIIB, and Locally Advanced-stage: Stage IIIC

  Research suggests that C-reactive protein levels may be linked to prognosis after a breast cancer diagnosis.

• Older Women Diagnosed with DCIS or Early-Stage Disease Have Excellent Prognosis

  Published on March 16, 2011 at 12:00 am

  • Tags: Non-Metastatic, 1cm-1.9cm, Less than 1cm, Early-stage: Stage 0 -- DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma in Situ), Early-stage: Stage IA, Early-stage: Stage IB, Ductal Carcinoma In Situ, Invasive or Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma, and Invasive or Infiltrating Lobular Carcinoma

  A large study found that women older than 67 diagnosed with either DCIS or stage I breast cancer were just as likely to be alive 10 years after diagnosis as women not diagnosed with breast cancer.

• Single Cancer Cells in Sentinel Node Don’t Affect Prognosis

  Published on January 19, 2011 at 12:00 am

  • Tags: Non-Metastatic, Early-stage: Stage 0 -- DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma in Situ), Early-stage: Stage IA, Early-stage: Stage IB, Early-stage: Stage IIA, Early-stage: Stage IIB, and Early-stage: Stage IIIA

  A large study suggests that women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer who have occult metastases in a clinically negative sentinel node do almost as well as women without occult metastases.
