Data from all 50 states shows early onset breast cancer is on the rise in younger women: Does place of exposure matter?
Peer-Reviewed Publication Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health FacebookXLinkedInWeChatBlueskyMessageWhatsAppEmail February 19, 2025– Breast cancer incidence trends in U.S. women under 40 vary by geography and supports incorporating location information with established risk factors into risk prediction, improving the ability to identify groups of younger women at higher risk for early-onset breast cancer, according to...

Ultrasound imaging of breast cancer tumors offers non-invasive monitoring of radiation and immunotherapy response effectiveness Posted Today In the ongoing battle against triple negative breast cancer, Vanderbilt researchers have uncovered a promising non-invasive method to track how tumors respond to radiation and immunotherapy, which uses the body’s own immune system to fight cancer. Checking for signs of...

Houston Methodist researchers identify inhibitor drugs to treat aggressive breast cancer
Peer-Reviewed Publication Houston Methodist FacebookXLinkedInWeChatBlueskyMessageWhatsAppEmail A national study seeking more effective treatment for deadly metaplastic breast cancer has identified two inhibitor drugs with the potential to interrupt disease progression. Houston Methodist and a team of researchers from across the country examined the biology of metaplastic breast cancer, comparing it to non-metaplastic triple negative breast cancer....
AI can identify women at risk of breast cancer years in advance: Study
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Artificial intelligence is able to identify women who have an elevated risk of developing breast cancer several years before it is diagnosed, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (FHI) said on Tuesday. Five researchers from FHI, the University of California and the University of Washington were given access to a commercially...
Proof-of-concept study dissolves clusters of breast cancer cells to prevent metastases
by ETH Zurich Study design and digoxin treatment response assessment. Credit: Nature Medicine (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41591-024-03486-6 Certain tumor types do not remain at their point of origin but spread throughout the body and form metastases. This is because the primary tumor continuously releases cancer cells into the blood. These circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can join together into small...
Explant’ technique predicts a tumor’s responsiveness to breast cancer treatment
by University of Leicester Maintenance of the immune microenvironment in BC-PDEs. Whole slide mIF-stained sections of BC-PDEs were digitized using a Vectra Polaris and analyzed in InForm. (A) Representative image of a single PDE stained for CD4, CD8, FOXP3, CK and DAPI. (B) Individual cells were phenotyped into T-Helper (CD4 + ve), T-effector (CD8 + ve), T-regulatory (CD4 + ve FOXP3 + ve), Tumor...
Mini-tumors from circulating breast cancer cells offer new treatment insights
by German Cancer Research Center Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Tumor cells circulating in the blood are the germ cells of breast cancer metastases. They are very rare and have not been propagated in the culture dish until now, which made research into therapy resistance difficult. ADVERTISING A team from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the...
