Being diagnosed with potentially fatal metastatic breast cancer inspired one man to gather a team of diverse professionals to create an AI-based tool that analyzes a patient’s symptoms using a smartphone, providing oncologists with a means of providing an individualized treatment care plan to patients with metastatic cancer.When Christopher Gregg was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer in 2018, he started thinking of ways of improving his – and others’ – cancer treatments. A neurobiology and human genetics…

Victoria Beckham has a secret that she doesn’t want her 12-year-old daughter, Harper, to know -she used to have breast implants. The reason is that she wants to instill in her pre-teen a sense of self-love and confidence. Victoria Beckham reveals her regret over breast implants, as she fosters self-love in her daughter(Instagram/Victoria Beckham) She confessed to Allure magazine, which featured her on their December cover, that she regrets getting implants. Stay tuned with breaking news on HT Channel on…

A Northwestern Medicine study introduces an AI tool that improves breast cancer outcome prediction by analyzing both cancerous and non-cancerous cells. This approach may reduce unnecessary chemotherapy, offering more personalized and accurate treatment plans. The study’s comprehensive dataset and future goals aim to refine breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.Northwestern Medicine’s AI tool promises more precise breast cancer prognosis, aiming to minimize unnecessary chemotherapy treatments.AI tool could reduce…

November 1, 20232min readScientists have developed an ultrasound device to detect aggressive breast cancer that may develop between screeningsBy Simon MakinThe new scanner could help detect aggressive breast tumors early. Credit: Canan Dagdeviren/Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyIf breast cancer is caught early, its survival rate is nearly 100 percent. If not, that rate can quickly drop to roughly 25 percent. Women older than 50 in the U.S. are advised to get mammograms every two years, but the most aggressive tumors…

Attending the annual Jodhpur RIFF (26-30 October) for the first time is a bit of an overwhelming experience – there’s so much to do, so many excellent performances to attend and so many conversations with musicians from across the country and the world to absorb. It becomes even more overwhelming when you’ve ridden 622kms on your trusty Bullet, also lovingly known as Rasputin, because you are given to periodic fits of road-longing and can’t be bothered with other forms of transport. Aching limbs and a sore posterior are…

A molecule called MHC-II (seen here in green) disguises metastatic breast cancer cells (red), allowing them to invade the lymph nodes and take root without provoking an immune response. Credit: Beyaz lab/Cold Spring Harbor LaboratoryLymph nodes act as one of the body’s first lines of defense against disease. From these organic control centers, immune cells are sent into battle against foreign invaders. But somehow, lymph nodes are also the first stop for most metastatic cancers.“It’s paradoxical,” Cold Spring Harbor…

A recent study found that women diagnosed with and treated for breast cancer experienced faster biological aging than those without the disease. It was particularly noticeable for women who underwent radiation therapy, suggesting that cancer treatments, not the disease itself, might accelerate aging.NIH study reveals that radiation has the highest correlation, with surgery and endocrine therapies showing lesser associations.According to a recent study conducted by the National Institutes of Health and their partners,…

Most people with breast and other cancers die not from the primary tumor but from metastasis, when the cancer spreads throughout the body. Researchers have developed a compound that blocks the actions of a metastasis-causing protein, potentially reducing the spread of breast cancer.Metastatic breast cancer – also called metastases, secondary tumors or secondaries – occurs when cancer cells break away from the original tumor and travel through the blood or lymphatic system to another part of the body, commonly the bones,…

Harvard Medical School researchers have discovered a novel molecular mechanism that may account for up to one-third of breast cancer cases, showing estrogen not only fuels cancer growth, but directly alters cell DNA, leading to cancer-causing genomic rearrangements. This finding, while not immediately applicable to therapy, could influence the design of tests to monitor treatment response and cancer recurrence.New research unveils a new mechanism responsible for certain types of breast cancer.In what may turn out to be a…

Prominent daytime TV actor Andrea Evans has died at the age of 66. Nick Leicht, Evans’ manager, confirmed to The Times that the longtime daytime star died Sunday at her home in Pasadena as a result of breast cancer. “I’ve been working with Andrea for the past seven years,” Leicht said. “She was such a tremendous talent and an absolute joy to work with.” Evans rose to fame for her portrayal of Tina Lord on ABC’s “One Life to Live” from 1979 to 1981 and then again from 1985 to 1990. She earned a Daytime Emmy nomination in…
