Targeted physical training can improve the quality of life of patients with metastatic breast cancer and alleviate fatigue. This is shown by an international randomized multicenter study. In the course of the training program, which included two sessions per week over nine months, disease- and therapy-related symptoms were markedly reduced, which was associated with a

Mammals that have evolved more developed brains tend to have a smaller size difference between males and females of that species, according to new research. In many mammal species, the males can be bigger than the females (or vice versa), a trait called sexual size dimorphism (SSD). For example, male elephant seals are around three

A new study adds to evidence which suggests treating breast cancer patients with sodium channel blockers could be a promising future treatment to prevent the spread of cancer during the gap between diagnosis and surgery. A new study on live tissue cells is the first to reveal how channels that allow sodium to enter into

A new machine-learning model can identify the stage of disease in ductal carcinoma in situ, a type of preinvasive tumor that can sometimes progress to a deadly form of breast cancer. This could help clinicians avoid overtreating patients whose disease is unlikely to progress. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a type of preinvasive tumor

A new compound shows promise in overcoming chemotherapy resistance in triple-negative breast cancer -- and could potentially be applied to fibrotic conditions like liver fibrosis or pulmonary fibrosis. A new compound developed by researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center shows promise in overcoming chemotherapy resistance in triple-negative breast cancer -- and could potentially be applied

Researchers have developed a novel prompt, or 'nudge,' embedded in the electronic health record that flags, for treating surgeons, older patients with early-stage breast cancer who may be at risk for unnecessary lymph node surgery. University of Pittsburgh and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center researchers have developed a novel prompt, or 'nudge' embedded in the electronic

Hormone modulating therapy (HMT) used for the treatment of breast cancer was associated with a 7% lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and related dementias later in life, according to a new study. Hormone modulating therapy (HMT) used for the treatment of breast cancer was associated with a 7% lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease

Many women treated for breast cancer using taxanes, a type of cytostatic drug, often experience side effects in the nervous system. Researchers have developed a tool that can predict the risk level for each individual. The tool could help doctors adapt treatment to avoid persistent side effects in those at the greatest risk. Many women

Mathematicians ave put forward a hypothesis which suggests that the reason male mammals don't breastfeed might be driven by the rich community of microbes that lives in breast milk and which plays an important part in establishing the gut microbiome of the infant. Being nursed by a single parent could be an evolutionary strategy to

New research confirms that both Tai Chi and cognitive behavioral therapy can reduce insomnia in breast cancer survivors but also may provide additional health benefits by reducing inflammation and bolstering anti-viral defenses. New research led by UCLA Health confirms that both Tai Chi and cognitive behavioral therapy can reduce insomnia in breast cancer survivors but

Decline. This study investigates the impact of chemotherapy on the gut microbiome and its relationship to cognitive decline and inflammatory signals. Understanding this connection could lead to better management of chemotherapy's behavioral side effects

Adults. This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach infant nutrition and could provide a sustainable and accessible alternative to traditional formula options. With the ability to harness the power of plants to mimic the complex sugars found in breast milk, this research offers a promising solution to addressing the nutritional needs of infants and adults alike
