Blood test reveals women's response to breast cancer treatment

Breast tumour DNA circulating in the bloodstream could be used to measure how well a woman's cancer is responding to treatment, according to a new Cancer Research UK study published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Heart disease risk after breast cancer radiotherapy smaller than previously thought

Researchers have for the first time calculated by how much radiotherapy for breast cancer increases the risk of heart disease and the findings can now be used by doctors to help treat patients more appropriately.

Cancer researchers and astronomers team up to beat cancer

Cancer Research UK scientists have honed techniques originally developed to spot distant galaxies and used them to identify biomarkers that signal a cancer’s aggressiveness among some 2,000 breast tumours, in a study published in the British Journal of Cancer.

Breast cancer gene provides vital clue to bowel cancer drug resistance

Having too many copies of a gene linked to breast cancer might be the reason why some bowel cancer patients fail to respond to certain targeted drugs, according to a study published in the British Journal of Cancer.
