comfortable — after the announcement Monday of a groundbreaking
medical project.

Does Breast Augmentation Increase the Risk of Breast Cancer?
Many women wonder if there is a connection between breast augmentation
and breast cancer; The FDA continues to support the use of breast
implants, as extensive studies have proven their safety; The following
is evidence of how closely the medical community reviews any possible
connection between health issues and implants.

Too many women get HPV tests: study
Doctors are testing women for human papillomavirus, or HPV -- some
strains of which have been linked to cervical cancer -- more often
than guidelines recommend, according to a new U.S. study.

Naked mole rat's genome 'blueprint' revealed
The industrious but unlovely naked mole rat is the latest creature to
have its genome sequenced by scientists. The animals are also
resistant to many diseases, particularly cancer. "I think that's the
most interesting thing about them from a biomedical perspective," said
Dr Magalhaes.

Who should get a CT scan to screen for lung cancer?‎
Annual low-dose CT scans cut the death rate from lung cancer by 20
percent in heavy smokers and formerly heavy smokers.

Metabolic shift may offer early cancer clue
Cancer cells are well known for their altered metabolisms, which may
help them generate the energy they need for rapid growth. Using an
emerging imaging technology, researchers reporting in the July Cell
Metabolism, a Cell Press publication, have discovered that those
metabolic shifts actually develop even before detectable tumors form.
By the same token, the studies in mice with liver cancer show that the
altered tumor metabolism shifts back before established tumors
shrink.

The Cancer Genome Atlas completes detailed ovarian cancer analysis
As part of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA ) project, UNC Lineberger
researchers have contributed to the most comprehensive an integrated
view of cancer genes for any cancer type produced to date.  The UNC
team, which includes Charles Perou, PhD, professor of pathology and
laboratory medicine and genetics, Neil Hayes, MD, associate professor
of hematology/oncology, and Katie Hoadley, PhD, Research Associate,
completed the microRNA and mRNA microarray analysis that contributed
to the findings.

La génétique des cancers du sein progresse
Il est connu depuis la dernière décennie que les mutations du gène
BRCA2 ont pour conséquence d'augmenter le risque de cancer du sein.
Les mutations sont héréditaires et l'augmentation de risque est
transmissible de la mère à la fille. Des chercheurs du Centre de
Recherche et d'Innovation en Biotechnologies de l'Université de
Copenhague (BRIC) ont récemment révélé comment le gène BRCA2
fonctionnait. Ces connaissances seront utiles pour améliorer les
traitements de cancer du sein.

Les Français sont de plus en plus nombreux à souffrir de maladies
chroniques graves
A fin 2010, neuf millions de personnes souffraient d'une ou plusieurs
maladies chroniques graves, telles que le diabète, le cancer ou la
schizophrénie, rapporte Les Echos ce mercredi 29 juin, qui s'est
procuré un rapport transmis aux administrateurs de l'assurance-maladie
(CNAM). Depuis 2009, cette population s'est accrue de 3,9%.
