(Ivanhoe Newswire) – Does progesterone protect against Alzheimer’s disease?

Previous research shows estrogen gives women some protection against Alzheimer’s. Researchers from the University of Southern California wanted to find out if progesterone could do the same.

The study found when progesterone is taken alone it only has limited benefits in mice with symptoms of Alzheimer’s. And when it’s taken with estrogen it can actually block some of estrogen’s benefits.

Researchers gave progesterone to female mice whose hormone production had been blocked to simulate menopause. The mice were genetically predisposed to develop Alzheimer’s-like disease, and had symptoms within months.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – A new breast imaging technique could significantly reduce the number of women who have to go back for more tests after a routine screening mammography.

A new report from Emory University shows stereoscopic digital mammography reduced false-positive findings by 49 percent compared to standard digital mammography and reduced missed lesions by 40 percent.

1,093 patients at increased risk for breast cancer have enrolled in the trial as of July, 2007. Each had a standard digital mammography screening and a stereoscopic digital exam which were read by different radiologists.

More than one third of men diagnosed with prostate cancer in the early stages end up making medically inappropriate treatment choices. A new study reports that these treatment ‘mismatches’ could likely be a result of a patient’s unwillingness to discuss pre-existing conditions with their doctor.

The study was led by Dr. James Talcott of the Center for Outcomes Research at Massachusetts General Hospital. “Prostrate cancer patients experience the same fears and hard decisions as all cancer patients do but prostate cancer treatment directly affects very personal things that most people aren’t comfortable talking about – urinary, bowel and sexual function,” says Talbot.

ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — The key to stopping cancer may lie in one drug’s ability to first speed it up. By accelerating the activity of a cancer-promoting gene, it may be possible to send cancer cells into overdrive until they self-destruct.

Recent research reveals an FDA approved drug called bortezomib is able to selectively kill cancer cells by promoting an acceleration oncogene called c-MYC. By creating a heightened release of c-MYC, a reaction occurs in which a cell-killing protein called NOXA is released.

In a study that is among the first to examine the role of race in the pain experience of metastic breast cancer patients, it was discovered that on a scale of 1 to 10, non-white women reached a pain level of 7 or higher significantly sooner then white women.

 Dr. Liana Castel of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and colleagues conducted the study which is published in the January 1, 2008 issue of CANCER. It included 1,124 women with metastic breast cancer and bone metastases. All of the participants received standard treatment in an international chemotherapy clinical trial conducted between October 1998 and January 2001. Women in 19 countries were involved. 82% of the Caucasians were from the United States.
