Study IDs Genes That Can Help Predict Breast Cancer SurvivalTracking DNA activity patterns may someday help women with HER2+ breast cancersHealthDay News — The activity of two genes may help predict certain breast cancer patients' odds of survival and guide their treatment, according to research published online August 17 in Oncotarget.For the study, Paul Huang, PhD, of the Protein Networks Team at the Institute of Cancer Research in London, and colleagues evaluated tumors from 1,964 breast cancer patients.They focused on human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive breast cancers, which account for about 20% of breast cancers.The researchers found that patients whose tumors had high activity in the F12 gene, but low activity in the STC2 gene, were 3 times more likely to die within 10 years, compared to patients with different patterns of activity in these two genes.

Two Genes Identified As Indicators Of Breast Cancer Survival Rates
Two Genes Identified As Indicators Of Breast Cancer Survival Rates
AdvertisementThere are two genes in the body that can help in identifying women who have breast cancer and higher risks of dying from the disease, said researchers from The Institute of Cancer Research.In a study published in the journal Oncotarget, the researchers assessed nearly 2,000 breast cancer patients and found that women who have tumors that show a certain pattern of activity for the two genes had three times more risk of dying within 10 years compared to those who exhibit a different pattern of activity.According to the researchers, the genes could have a hand in releasing cancer cells from the extracellular matrix, a "glue" that keeps cells in place and prevents them from spreading in the body.For the study, the researchers examined breast cancer cells that were positive for HER2, a protein targeted by the drug Herceptin.

UTHSC Professor Awarded $100K for Breast Cancer Research
UTHSC Professor Awarded $100K for Breast Cancer Research
166 | Friday, August 19, 2016A $100,000 grant from the National Cancer Institute to a University of Tennessee Health Science Center professor to study a certain type of breast cancer is the latest example of a groundswell of efforts in Memphis to fight the disease.The grant was awarded to Dr. Meiyun Fan to study a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer known as Basal-Like Breast Cancer, or BLBC for short.About 40 percent of patients who experience BLBC relapse within three years, and the cancer also usually spreads to the brain, lungs or liver – all extremely serious complications.Another key point about the disease – while only about 15 percent of patients get this form of breast cancer, about 40 percent of breast cancer in premenopausal African-American women is this form, according to Fan.
