 Axillary ultrasound imaging found to be inferior for detecting lymph node metastases in breast cancerAxillary ultrasound imaging found to be inferior for detecting lymph node metastases in breast cancer
 
For patients diagnosed with breast cancer, determining whether cancer cells have spread to the axillary lymph nodes of the armpit is important for guiding treatment decisions. It has been debated whether axillary ultrasound imaging is equally sensitive for detecting axillary metastatic lymph nodes in different subtypes of breast cancer.
 
   UT Southwestern scientists discover protein linked to metastatic breast cancerUT Southwestern scientists discover protein linked to metastatic breast cancer
 
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that is strongly associated with metastatic breast cancer and that could be a target for future therapies.
 
   Triple-negative breast cancer found to be chemoresistant prior to treatmentTriple-negative breast cancer found to be chemoresistant prior to treatment
 
Difficult to treat and aggressive "triple-negative" breast cancer is chemoresistant even before chemotherapy begins, a new study by researchers from Karolinska Institutet and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center reports.
 
 Researchers clarify immune response for patients with breast cancer brain metastases
 
Researchers clarify immune response for patients with breast cancer brain metastasesOnce it has begun to spread in the body, approximately half of patients with an aggressive breast cancer type will develop cancer in the brain. Researchers at the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center want to improve treatment for patients with breast cancer brain metastases, but using the body's existing defenses - the immune system.

 Finding ways to reverse obesity’s lingering, pro-cancer effects
 
Finding ways to reverse obesity’s lingering, pro-cancer effectsLike exposure to too much sun and drinking alcohol, obesity is a risk factor for cancer. Researchers at the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center are working to be a part of the solution -- they want to find ways to reverse obesity-linked biological changes in the body that are associated with cancer growth.
 
 
 Scientists develop tiny fluorescent probe that seeks out GLUT5 and detects cancer cells
 
Scientists develop tiny fluorescent probe that seeks out GLUT5 and detects cancer cellsDetermining the presence of cancer, as well as its type and malignancy, is a stressful process for patients that can take up to two weeks to get a diagnosis. With a new bit of technology--a sugar-transporting biosensor--researchers at Michigan Technological University hope to reduce that timeframe down to minutes.
