General Cancer Control News and Research
- Researchers have developed a new, non-invasive method of cancer testing. The new method is low-cost enough to make regular monitoring of cancer patients affordable.
- Adolescent and young adult cancer survivors may be at greater risk of developing cardiovascular disease later in life.
- Recent research has found that the risk of developing a rare type of lymphoma after receiving breast implants is extremely low. Since the risk is so low, researchers don’t think it should discourage women from undergoing reconstructive surgery after a mastectomy.
- A recent study found evidence that bariatric surgery may reduce the risk of developing some cancers associated with hormone level changes, like postmenopausal breast cancer, endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer.
- There have been new findings that could improve a new approach to treating advanced ER-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer.
- Over the past decade, trends in lung cancer research have revealed new paths for future research.
- Recent research has found that non-Hispanic black women with breast cancer have worse outcomes than most other racial and ethnic groups.
- Researchers examined the local communication between endothelial cells and tumor cells to determine if tumors can weaken blood vessels to enable metastasis.
