Researchers at Umeå University show that the protein METTL3 helps breast cancer cells spread. By regulating the release of molecules, METTL3 makes it easier for tumors to invade surrounding tissue and form metastases. The discovery reveals a previously unknown function of METTL3

Healthy, breastfed infants who receive iron supplementation show fewer aggressive behaviors at age 3 compared with children who did not receive supplementation, according to new research from Umeå University. However, more research is needed before iron supplementation can be rec

For people at high risk of developing breast cancer, yearly mammograms may not be enough to detect tumors early. To make earlier diagnosis easier, an MIT team has developed portable detectors based on ultrasound, which could be used much more frequently.

New research has found that digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) availability at breast imaging facilities is similar across low- and high-deprivation areas, but facilities in low-deprivation areas are significantly more likely to offer weekend appointments, which may affect access

New research has uncovered persistent disparities in preventive cancer care across different sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) populations. The study, published in Cancer, found particular concern for cervical and breast cancer screening.

An Australian study by researchers at Peter Mac has shown that the natural protection against breast cancer offered by childbearing is due to the influx of killer T cells to the breast. The research shows that the cells begin to populate the breast during pregnancy and are closel

In recent years, notable advances have been made in diagnosing and treating breast cancer. However, its recurrence continues to plague thousands, deepening the need to find ways to better predict the likelihood of its return.

In 2013, Angelina Jolie inspired a wave of testing for pathogenic variants of the gene BRCA1 by announcing that she carried a variant that left her at such high risk of breast cancer that she chose a preventive mastectomy. Many people with similar gene variants won't need risk-re

If you're a woman newly diagnosed with breast cancer, treatment can feel ... well, scary. Will chemotherapy work? Or will it become a cycle of educated guesswork: trying one drug combination, waiting, scanning? If the tumor doesn't respond, trying something else. In the meantime,

Research from the University of Granada published in the European Journal of Pediatrics has revealed that girls with higher levels of bisphenol A (a component of plastics and epoxy-phenolic resins) and benzophenones (ultraviolet filters) in their urine are more likely to experien

Breast cancers diagnosed during the first three years after childbirth, particularly within the first year, may be biologically more aggressive than similar cancers in women who have never given birth, according to a new study led by investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Compr

A new systematic review has found that both the way a baby is born and exposure to antibiotics around the time of birth could be linked to differences in the development of the infant gut microbiome. The review also found that exclusively breastfeeding babies born by cesarean sec
