Coffee May Actually Fight Breast Cancer

MEDICINE & HEALTH It seems that cup of joe may be doing more than providing you with that morning pick me up afterall, especially if you are a woman. Scientists have found that coffee may actually protect women against breast cancer. According to researchers, coffee actually inhibits the growth of tumors and reduces the risk of recurrence in women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and treated with the drug tamoxifen.

Could Sleeping More While Fasting Overnight Prevent You From Developing Breast Cancer?

Taking a systems biological approach to the study of cancers, many researchers have come to find that there is an intimate intermingling between cancerous tumors and the metabolic rate at which your body processes sugars. As exponentially, growing highly-metabolic cells, cancers require a lot of energy to regenerate, so could starving your cells more often help you avoid cancer altogether? Preliminary studies seem to suggest so.

Breast Cancer Predicted to Rise by 50 Percent

Researchers at the National Cancer Institute reported on Monday that they believe that the number of breast cancers suffered by American women will increase by about 50 percent by 2030.

Pfizer Announces IBRANCE Clinical Trials Ended Early In Light of Promising News

Could Your Immune System Be to Blame for the Spread of Breast Cancer?

For years researchers have been quite confused as to the contrary correlation between immunological responses and the spread of cancers. Though a strong immune system is often an indicator of a healthy attack against disease, in some forms of cancer it can also indicate civil war that will undoubtedly aid the cancer in the course of its infection. In particular, researchers investigating lethal forms of breast cancer have found shockingly active immune systems causing metastases of the cancer to other regions of the body, and now they think that they understand why.

Breast Cancer Could Date Back As Far as 4,200 Years

Cancer Death Rates Spare More Than a Million Americans

According to a new report from the American Cancer Society, cancer is claiming the lives of fewer Americans than ever before. In the past two decades cancer death rates have dropped significantly by 22%, sparing the lives of over 1.5 million people in the United States alone. While cancer death rates have declined in every state, the report found substantial variation in the magnitude of the declines from state to state. Generally, states in the south showed the smallest decline, while states in the northeast had the largest decline. States in the south experienced drops in death rates of about 15%, with rates much higher in other parts of the country.

Study Shows How Red Meat May Cause Cancer in Humans

In the past, red meat consumption has been linked with many diseases, such as colorectal and breast cancers amongst many other. And while it has been strongly associated with higher risk of cancer in humans, as opposed to other animals, the mechanism for the meats' health risk have not been determined. But a recent study published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences may have just discovered the science behind its carcinogenic effect, particularly in humans.
