   "In fact, prevention and screening interventions accounted for eight out of 10 deaths averted," co-lead investigator Katrina A. B. Goddard, Ph.D., director of NCI’s Division of Cancer Control ...

3. Force spectrum microscopy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_spectrum_microscopy

   FSM measurements on malignant MCF-7 breast cancer cells and benign MCF-10A breast cancer cells revealed a statistically significant separation in force spectrum that allows FSM to assay for metastatic cancer. [1] Dimensionality of extracellular environment greatly influences FSM measurements of cancerous cells.

4. Cell culture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_culture

   Currently, there is an increase in use of 3D cell cultures in research areas including drug discovery, cancer biology, regenerative medicine, nanomaterials assessment and basic life science research. [ 66 ] [ 67 ] [ 68 ] 3D cell cultures can be grown using a scaffold or matrix, or in a scaffold-free manner.

5. DNA demethylation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_demethylation

   During formation of a cancer there is an average reduction of the number of methylated cytosines of about 5% to 20%, [7] or about 840,00 to 3.4 million demethylations of CpG sites. DNMT1 methylates CpGs on hemi-methylated DNA during DNA replication. Thus, when a DNA strand has a methylated CpG, and the newly replicated strand during semi ...

6. Cancer screening - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_screening

   The consequences of overdiagnosis and overtreatment resulting from cancer screening can lead to a decline in quality of life, due to the adverse effects of unnecessary medication and hospitalization. [10] [12] [13] The accuracy of a cancer screening test relies on its sensitivity, and low sensitivity screening tests can overlook cancers. [10]

7. mir-205 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mir-205

   [5] [6] miR-205 expression is associated with survival in breast cancer. Patients with higher expression have higher probability of survival. [7] This down regulation was also observed in breast cancer cell lines, including MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 compared to the non-malignant cell line MCF-10A.

8. E-SCREEN - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-SCREEN

   E-SCREEN is a cell proliferation assay based on the enhanced proliferation of human breast cancer cells in the presence of estrogen active substances. The E-SCREEN test is a tool to easily and rapidly assess estrogenic activity of suspected xenoestrogens (singly or in combination). This bioassay measures estrogen-induced increase of the number ...

   Reflect the stage of cancer; By determining the stage of cancer, it's possible to give a prognosis and treatment plan. [4] Screening for cancers; No screening test is wholly specific, and a high level of tumor marker can still be found in benign tumors. The only tumor marker currently used in screening is PSA (prostate-specific antigen ...
