Racial Differences in Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Women With Breast Cancer
The rates of increase in black women using sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) to stage early breast cancer is slower than white women, during 2002 to 2007.

Importantly, breast cancer patients that had activated ERβ in breast tissue had increased disease-free survival. This study suggests that ERβ activation may be useful in evaluating the prognosis of breast cancer patients and that treatment strategies that activate ERβ may be useful for cancer therapy.

Study Confirms 3D Imaging Detects More Breast Cancer Than Digital Mammography Alone
The largest study of its kind to date has revealed that three-dimensional imaging finds more breast cancers than traditional, digital mammography alone.

New Virus Kills Triple Negative Breast Cancer Cells and Tumor Cells
Penn State College of Medicine researchers claim that a virus not known to cause disease kills triple-negative breast cancer cells and killed tumors grown from these cells in mice.
