Can soy reduce the risks of breast cancer?
March 07 2008 at 09:23AM Tokyo - Women who eat traditional Japanese soy-based foods on a regular basis face lower risks of breast cancer, a government-sponsored study showed on Friday. Women who had high levels of genistein, a compound found in soybeans, had less of a chance of developing breast cancer than women with less of it, said the study by the National Cancer Centre in Tokyo. Soybeans in Japan are eaten as tofu, miso soup or Japanese fermented beans known as "natto." The study followed approximately 25 000 women aged between 40 and 69 throughout Japan for an average of 10 and a half years. The team studied the relationship between genistein concentration and breast cancer risk by comparing blood samples taken from a 144 women who had developed breast cancer and 288 who did not...... |

Aspirin can cut risk of breast cancer - study
March 07 2008 at 07:44PM London - Taking drugs like aspirin regularly could significantly reduce the risk of breast cancer, according to a new report published in Britain. The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can cut the incidence of the cancer by 20 percent, said the review of 21 studies into the issue over the last 27 years. Such drugs could also help treat women who already have breast cancer, said Professor Ian Fentiman of Guy's and St Thomas' hospital in London, who compiled the study. "NSAIDs may well offer significant protection against developing breast cancer in the first place and may provide a useful addition to the treatment currently available to women who already have the disease," he said. "Recent studies of NSAIDs use have shown about a 20 percent risk reduction in the incidence of breast cancer, but this benefit may be confined to aspirin use alone and not other NSAIDs." The review, published by the International Journal of Clinical Practice (IJCP), was based on 11 studies of women who already had breast cancer and 10 comparing women who did and did not have the disease.... |

----------------------------------------Tumour growth block hopes raised Scientists have discovered a key part of the chemistry which makes cancer cells so dangerous. They believe it could now be possible to tamper with the mechanism - and stop tumour growth in its tracks. Harvard Medical School identified an enzyme which enables cancer cells to consume the huge quantities of glucose they need to fuel uncontrolled growth.... continues

'Killer' marrow transplant hope
Some leukaemia patients who do not respond to conventional treatments may benefit from bone marrow transplants selected to target the cancer directly. The technique, pioneered in Italy, uses transplants from family members who are not a perfect match. "Natural killer" cells in the new bone marrow then attack the leukaemia.,,, |
