Male Breast Cancer: Limited Awareness Costs Lives, New Study Says‎
Men have a breast cancer incidence rate less than 1 percent of that of
females, but when they do get the disease, it is often more advanced,
according to a sweeping new study. The research, published earlier
this month in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, looked at breast
cancer in 6 countries over the last 40 years. Researchers found that
men had poorer five-year survival rates than women, and the disease
generally occurred later in life for them.

Lung cancer screening with X-rays isn't beneficial
Routine chest X-rays do not prevent lung cancer deaths, not even in
smokers or former smokers, according to a big government study
challenging a once common type of screening.

Double Trouble From HPV
Two new studies have come out that highlight significant news around
HPV – Human Papillomavirus. HPV is known to increase the risk of
cervical cancer in women significantly. Now, a study in the New
England Journal of Medicine shows that an HPV vaccine that helps
prevent HPV in women, can help prevent most anal cancers in gay men..

Increase in Borderline Ovarian Cancer After IVF
Ovarian stimulation by in vitro fertilization (IVF) increases the risk
for borderline ovarian tumors, but the risk for invasive ovarian
cancer is not significantly increased, a new study concludes. It also
found no increase in cancer risk with an increased number of IVF
cycles. The study was published online October 26 in Human
Reproduction.

Research makes it possible to predict how cancers will respond to
chemo. Finding rewrites old theory of why chemo works
Challenging a half-century-old theory about why chemotherapy agents
target cancer, scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have devised
a test that can predict how effective the drugs will be by determining
whether a patient's tumor cells are already "primed" for death. In a
study published online by the journal Science on Oct. 27, the
researchers report that cancer cells that are on the verge of self-
destruction are more likely to succumb to certain chemotherapy agents
than cancer cells that have yet to reach that stage. The discovery
suggests that it may be possible to predict which cancer patients are
most likely to benefit from chemotherapy, as well as to make
chemotherapy drugs more effective by pushing tumor cells closer to the
point of suicide.

Mummy Had History's Second-Oldest Prostate Cancer Case‎‎
Some 2,250 years ago in Egypt, a man known today only as M1 struggled
with a long, painful, progressive illness. A dull pain throbbed in his
lower back, then spread to other parts of his body, making most
movements a misery. When M1 finally succumbed to the mysterious
ailment between the ages of 51 and 60, his family paid for him to be
mummified so that he could be reborn and relish the pleasures of the
afterworld. Now an international research team has diagnosed what
ailed M1: the oldest known case of prostate cancer in ancient Egypt
and the second oldest case in the world

NHS breast cancer screening to be reviewed
England’s breast cancer screening programme could be scaled back amid
concerns from scientists that it is leading to women undergoing
surgery unnecessarily.

Cancer, the growing silent killer among the Ugandan population‎
Having dedicated October as a month to focus on cancer, we have been
running stories on various types of the disease focusing on the
causes, treatment, statistics and methods of prevention. As we wrap up
our series, we look at the state of cancer in the country. Over the
years, cancer has become more common with one in 500 people suffering
from one type or another, a warning that if you have not yet checked
or had screening for those types that can be screened, you should.

Cancer du poumon: une radiographie annuelle ne réduit pas la mortalité
Des radiographies annuelles de la cage thoracique ne réduisent pas la
mortalité résultant du cancer du poumon, selon une vaste étude
clinique présentée mercredi aux Etats-Unis qui montre l'inutilité de
cette procédure.

Les cabines de bronzage favorisent les cancers‎
Ça chauffe pour les cabines de bronzage. Lors du 10e congrès
international de l'Association américaine de recherche contre le
cancer (AACR) qui vient de s'achever à Boston (États-Unis), les
chercheurs ont une nouvelle fois pointé du doigt les méfaits des
cabines à UV (rayons ultraviolets responsables du bronzage), les
accusant de favoriser la survenue de cancers de la peau : le baso-
cellulaire (le plus fréquent), le spino-cellulaire et le mélanome
malin.
