Researchers have shown that vaccinating mice with a modified form
of a virus containing proteins from breast cancer cells can kill
large breast cancer tumors and tumors that have spread to the lungs.
The rodent model of cancer used in this study closely resembles
a type of breast cancer seen in humans called HER2-positive. Although
other cancer vaccines have shown activity in the treatment of very
small tumors, their ability to influence large, established tumors,
such as many HER2-positive breast cancers, has proven difficult.
The study, led by researchers at the National Cancer Institute
(NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, appeared in the
March 15, 2008, issue of "Cancer Research".

Researchers have identified genetic variations in a region of
DNA that may be associated with risk for breast cancer. Women with
the variation have a 1.4 times greater risk of developing breast
cancer compared to those without this variation. The study is one
of several genome-wide association studies looking for breast cancer
genes to be published this year by researchers at the National
Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health,
and their colleagues.
While there are no proven CAM treatments for cancer, CAM may be useful to relieve the side effects of treatment and to improve quality of life. NCCAM has a number of resources available for breast cancer patients considering complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).

By activating a cancer suppressor gene, a small molecule called
nutlin-3a can block cancer cell division, according to researchers
at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes

Birkdale Medicinals releases new pet mix for dogs with cancer. Are Americans feeding their dogs food that causes cancer? Birkdale Medicinals owner, Tom Peters, had a very unusual response to the death of his beloved family dog from cancer — he wanted to know why. What he found out made him create a healthier food called Birkdale pet mix. The recent scrutiny of dog food ingredients and the lack of nutritional value it provides has sparked a debate over the rise in cancer in dogs. The result is a newly formulated healthy dog food with herbal supplements to boost a pet's nutrition and natural immune system. (PRWeb Jan 29, 2008)
