Genetic variations associated with susceptibility to bacteria linked to stomach disorders

Two genome-wide association studies and a subsequent meta-analysis have found that certain genetic variations are associated with susceptibility to Helicobacter pylori, a bacteria that is a major cause of gastritis and stomach ulcers and is linked to stomach cancer, findings that may help explain some of the observed variation in individual risk for H pylori infection.

In Estrogen Receptor POS Breast Cancer, Genetic And Clinical Factors Best To Predict Late Recurrence

A new analysis has provided a comprehensive comparison of scores designed to predict which women with oestrogen-receptor positive breast cancer are at high risk of recurrence beyond five years after diagnosis, and may benefit from prolonged endocrine treatment.

Study establishes basis for genomic classification of endometrial cancers; proper categorization is important for choosing the best treatment

A comprehensive genomic analysis of nearly 400 endometrial tumors suggests that certain molecular characteristics – such as the frequency of mutations – could complement current pathology methods and help distinguish between principal types of endometrial tumors, as well as provide insights into potential treatment strategies.

Study: Age, race, economics affect cancer treatment

Young poor, black and Hispanic women diagnosed with breast cancer tend to experience longer delays before undergoing treatment and have poorer survival as a direct consequence, researchers have found in a massive analysis of more than 8,000 cases.

Particular DNA changes linked with prostate cancer development and lethality

A new analysis has found that the loss or amplification of particular DNA regions contributes to the development of prostate cancer, and that patients with two of these DNA changes have a high likelihood of dying from the disease. The study provides valuable information on the genetics of prostate cancer and offers insights into which patients should be treated aggressively.

Online Dietary Recommendations For Cancer Patients Inconsistent

Radiation oncologists at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital are stressing the need for evidence-based, standardized guidelines on dietary recommendations for cancer patients – and with good reason. A new analysis revealed that online dietary recommendations for cancer patients, if even present on an institution’s website, appear to be consistently inconsistent…
