Re: Interesting News Articles About Cancer

Breast cancer genes can come from father

June 20, 2007, 2:29AM

CHICAGO — A deadly gene's path can hide in a family tree when a woman has few aunts and older sisters, making it appear that her breast cancer struck out of nowhere when it really came from Dad.

A new study suggests thousands of young women with breast cancer — an estimated 8,000 a year in the U.S. — aren't offered testing to identify faulty genes and clarify their medical decisions.

Guidelines used by insurance companies to decide coverage for genetic testing should change to reflect the findings, said study co-author Dr. Jeffrey Weitzel of City of Hope Cancer Center in Duarte, Calif. Testing can cost more than $3,000.

"Interestingly, it's about Dad," Weitzel said. Half of genetic breast cancers are inherited from a woman's father, not her mother. But unless Dad has female relatives with breast cancer, the faulty gene may have been passed down silently, without causing cancer. (Men can get genetic breast cancer, too, but it's not common.)

Weitzel said doctors often overlook the genetic risk from the father's side of the family.

The study, appearing in today's Journal of the American Medical Association, looked at the genetic test results from 306 women diagnosed with breast cancer before age 50.........

Re: Interesting News Articles About Cancer

Bonjour, ce message pour témoignage, En juillet 1999 j'ai été opéré du cancer de testicules et j'ai été soigné par radiothérapie et suivi pendant 5 ans (considéré comme période de rémission). Depuis bientôt 3 ans, je suis considéré comme guéri. Il est vrai que les rayons détruise les cellules cancereuse mais aussi les cellules de la flore intestinale et j'ai eu beaucoup de problème de transit maintenant fini. Malheureusement beaucoup d'autre cancer sont encore mortel. Depuis ma maladie, j'ai vu disparaitre en même pas 18 mois (entre le diagnostic et leur décés) 2 amis, 2 hommes pourtant trés costaud. L'un du cancer des poumons et l'autre du cancer de la gorge. Comme j'ai eu beaucoup de chance d'être sauvé, et nouveau ici existe t'il dans la word community grid un programme pour la recherche sur le cancer car si oui, j'aimerai que mon ordinateur travaille pour ce proget. Merci à vous pour vos réponses..

Re: Interesting News Articles About Cancer

Salut Jean-Paul!
Très heureux que tu t'en sois bien sorti.

Le dernier projet "cancer" s'est terminé fin avril/début mai.
Pas encore de date précise pour le prochain mais d'après les dernières indications (non officielles) ce pourrait être dans le courant du troisième trimestre, donc probablement le prochain nouveau projet à démarrer.
Tu n'es pas le seul à l'attendre avec impatience: il y a ici plusieurs milliers de gens qui sont arrivés d'une autre grille qui a fermé et où ils calculaient tous pour le cancer. Et comme de bien entendu ça s'est passé juste à la fin du précédent projet...

Garde un oeil sur ce forum et tu ne devrais pas manquer l'évènement, même si tu n'es pas trop à l'aise en anglais. Tu peux également t'assurer que tu as choisi de calculer pour tous les projets, et ainsi tu pourras voir arriver les nouvelles unités de travail dans ton agent.

Bons calculs sur WCG. Jean.

First baby born from frozen egg

The first test-tube baby created from an egg matured in the laboratory and then frozen has been born in Canada, in a breakthrough offering hope to women with cancer and others unsuited to normal IVF treatment.

The baby is doing well and another three women are pregnant by the same method, researchers told a medical meeting in Lyon, France, on Monday...
