BREAST CANCER INDUCED BY RADIATIONSince Roentgen's discovery of the X-ray in 1895, scientists and society in general have been continuously impressed and surprised by its properties. Impressiveness reflects mainly the many applications that have been devised for X-rays in science, industry, and ...

Maryland, confirm the thinking that women with Hodgkin's disease (cancer of the lymphatic system) should be given only as much radiation as is necessary to eliminate the primary cancer [a stance not shared by Healing Cancer Naturally].
Oct. 29, 2007 --After battling breast cancer and being pronounced free of the illness, women are looking for anything that can help them stay healthy. Now it appears that an additional boost of radiation may help keep the disease at bay, according to a new study released Monday at the an...
Aging-related cancer incidence remains not fully understood. Here, the authors depict a progressive process of senescence in murine mammary stem cells at single-cell resolution, which is governed by the transcription factor Bcl11b and associated with enhanced chemical-induced tumorigenesis in aged mice...
Inflammatory breast cancer. This rare type is caused by inflammatory cells in lymph vessels in your skin. Paget's disease of the nipple. This type affects the areola, the thin skin around your nipple. Phyllodes tumors of the breast. These rare tumors grow in a leaflike pattern. They grow ...
“We found that these induced breast cancer stem cells (iBCSC) were generated by radiation-induced activation of the same cellular pathways used to reprogram normal cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) in regenerative medicine,” he explains. ...
CHICAGO, June 4 (Xinhua) -- The presence of cancer cells in the blood of patients with early-stage breast cancer may be predictive of a benefit from radiotherapy delivered after surgery, according to a study posted on the website of Northwestern University (NU). ...
that can provide a causal mechanism. For example, it has been shown that exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation (the radiation emitted from wireless devices)may cause a decrease in melatonin production, and studies have demonstrated that reduced melatonin levels may lead to breast cancer. ...
Along with surgery, radiation may be used to kill cancer cells that remain in the area. Most women who have had all or part of a breast removed can have reconstructive surgery for their breast (or breasts), to match the size and shape of the other breast or their original breasts. Medic...
