World first and only ultra-low magnetic scanner can identify previously undetectable breast cancer tumour invasion. An Aberdeen University developed scanner does not require use of intravenous contrast agents unlike MRI systems and could improve breast cancer diagnosis and treatment plan, increase surgical accuracy and reduce operations. A groundbreaking new scanner developed by scientists at the […]

A new combination therapy against cancer has been investigated by a research team at the Medical University of Vienna led by Maria Sibilia. This therapy employs systemic administration of the tissue hormone interferon-I combined with local application of Imiquimod. This combination showed promising results in topically accessible tumors like melanoma and breast cancer models: The […]

A study led by the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine discovered that certain breast tumour cells sacrifice their own growth to aid other cells in resisting chemotherapy. For patients with early-stage breast cancer, there is a 7 to 11 per cent chance of relapse within five years after receiving initial treatment, and this […]
A device has been created that could carry out Clinical Breast Examinations (CBE). The manipulator, designed by a team at the University of Bristol and based at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, is able to apply very specific forces over a range similar to forces used by human examiners and can detect lumps using sensor technology at […]
