LONDON (Reuters) - An international research team has identified two genetic variations that appear to increase a person's risk of developing lung cancer by up to 60 percent, they reported on Sunday.
The study published in the journal Nature Genetics included researchers from 18 countries who analyzed genetic mutations in more than 15,000 people -- 6,000 with lung cancer and 9,000 without the disease.

Reanalysis of forty-five studies verifies that oral contraceptives provide protection when women need it most, decades after use.
Although oral contraceptives (OCs) have been shown to reduce the risk for epithelial ovarian cancer, the duration of this protective effect has not been clearly defined. Now, investigators have reanalyzed data from forty-five case-control and prospective studies (primarily in Europe and the U.S.) including more than 23,000 women with ovarian cancer (cases; mean age at diagnosis, 56) and 87,000 women without the disease (controls)

It may not seem so at the time, but women who suffer through morning sickness during their pregnancies actually may be fortunate.
Those women may have a 30 percent lower risk of developing breast cancer later in life than mothers-to-be who experience nine nausea-free months, a new study by epidemiologists at the University at Buffalo suggests.

U.S. researchers said on Tuesday,tools used to predict whether a woman's breast cancer is inherited do not account for smaller families and may leave some women in the dark about their risk for future cancers.

Among women who have been treated for breast cancer, those who stick to a healthy diet and are moderately active seem to live longer, results of a new study indicate. A good diet alone or exercise alone doesn't have the same benefit.

Breast cancer is a dreadful disease among women. Early detection helps in finding a cure. Mammogram is presently the standard tool for detecting breast abnormality. However, its sensitivity is lower for women with dense breasts. It was found that women with an abnormal thermogram are at a higher risk and have a poorer prognosis. However, performing and interpreting thermograms require meticulous training. Computer simulations can be an adjunct tool to help the clinician in the interpretation. In this paper, a novel and flexible finite element model of a female breast is developed

"Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) survivors are known to be at substantially increased risk of solid cancers (SC). However, no investigation has used multivariate modeling to estimate the relative risk (RR), excess absolute risk (EAR), and cumulative incidence for specific attained ages and ages at HL diagnosis."

"Epidemiologic studies suggest that prolactin is associated with breast cancer risk in older women. Because of limited prospective data, particularly in younger women, we examined whether prolactin concentrations were associated with breast cancer risk among women 42 to 55 years (68% premenopausal) from the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS), and then conducted a pooled analysis of three studies. "
