One of these was a stem-cell like breast cancer cell line that altered its behavior under varied environmental conditions, such as the availability of oxygen and nutrients. Degradome sequencing, followed by a multistep selection process, revealed 100 protease genes that played a role in the growth of breast cancer cells.
Staging breast cancer is the initial step to help physicians determine the most appropriate course of treatment. As of 2016, guidelines incorporated biologic factors, such as tumor grade, cellular proliferation rate, estrogen and progesterone receptor expression, human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) expression, and gene expression profiling into the staging system.

The National Comprehensive Cancer Center Guidelines recommend active surveillance as the preferred management option for men with very low risk disease and a life expectancy below 20 years, and those with low risk disease and a life expectancy below 10 years; and an option for those with low risk disease and a life expectancy of 10 years or ...
Murthy also urged a reassessment of the guideline limits for alcohol consumption to account for cancer risk. In the U.S., there are about 100,000 alcohol-related cancer cases and about 20,000 ...
The tattooed corpse of a woman was found bizarrely stuffed in a refrigerator dumped in some New Jersey woods — and cops say they need the public’s help identifying her.
