Discovery Of New Marker To Identify Severe Breast Cancer Cases

Women with breast cancer whose tumors express high levels of a particular genetic marker are significantly more likely to die from their disease than are those with more normal levels, according to researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine. The finding implies that blocking the action of the marker – a newly recognized type of RNA – could one day be an effective way to prevent …

Discovery that PARP protein exists in all breast tumors will help target chemo and predict response
Discovery that PARP protein exists in all breast tumors will help target chemo and predict response
The presence of a protein called PARP in tumors can help predict their response to chemotherapy, researchers have found. They have found that PARP expression exists across all breast cancer subtypes, and that these tumors are highly sensitive to chemotherapy. PARP positive tumors could become a new entity in breast cancer, and the researchers believe that they may be on the verge of a major …

Can Resveratrol Cure Breast Cancer? The Discovery That You Should Be Aware Of
In this article we are going to take a quick look at resveratrol and breast cancer, and see if there has been any link between them. The truth is, separating the fact from fiction with any anti aging supplement can be difficult and dubious to do, and with so much hype out there, it becomes easy to overlook some good hard science, and the sensational discoveries that abound.
Ok…..but does resveratrol have any carcinogen killing benefits….or is it all just a bunch of hype?
The truth is that there have been very positive studies done on resveratrol and breast cancer, and a very prominent one was published in the summer of 2008 which shocked many in the health community. In a study done at the University of Nebraska, low levels of resveratrol were discovered to be a powerful preventive measure to the formation of adducts, which are facilitated by too much estrogen in the body. The same research also showed that low levels of resveratrol also suppressed key risk factors for the development of breast cancer, both in quantites low enough to be found in potentially, a single glass of wine. ( contrary to some of the research that says one would need 1000 bottles of wine per DAY to take advantage of the res found in grapes)
So how does all of this happen in the body, anyway?
Good question…and I am certainly not a doctor, nor did I stay in a holiday inn express last night! But according to the lead investigator in this one study, and in co berating opinions throughout the scientific community, essentially resveratrol induces an enzyme in the female body that “shuts off” the production of active estrogen, which is thought to be the primary driver behind breast cancer formation.
The key takeaway? Resveratrol is going to be a household name at some point in the near future…and there will no doubt be lots of hype amidst the good news, too! But there is A LOT to be excited about when it comes to this mysterious “fountain of youth” and the more you know, the more you grow!
Bonus Tip:
Beware of the Resveratrol Scams! Unfortunately, many of the resveratrol products on the market are scams, being sold by unscrupulous companies with one hand in your pocket, rather than out to help you heal.
My best advice? If you really want to experience the amazing anti aging benefits of this powerful anti-oxidant , make sure you ONLY buy
Genuine Resveratrol Supplements or extract.
Also, you can check out Real
( Resveratrol Trials and Reviews like these that will help you make a smarter, more informed, and ultimately BETTER buying decision as well!)
