Study finds women with early breast cancer may avoid chemotherapy

"The impact is tremendous", study leader Joseph Sparano of Montefiore Medical Center in NY told USA Today. "Not only have we shown that such treatment has a beneficial effect on disease control, but it also improves breast-cancer related survival", Philip Poortmans, head of the department of radiation oncology at the Institut Curie in Paris, said in a press release. "Now we know there's no need to give chemotherapy to those patients anymore", Mitchell said.

The study, funded by the National Cancer Institute, foundations and proceeds from the USA breast cancer postage stamp, is the latest development in a national trend on cancer treatments.

Judy Perkins told the BBC: About a week after (the therapy) I started to feel something, I had a tumour in my chest that I could feel shrinking.

A new study revealed that women with early-stage breast cancer might not need to undergo chemotherapy.

"Chemotherapy is no Shangri-La", Brawley said.

Dr. Rosenberg added, "This is highly experimental and we're just learning how to do this, but potentially it is applicable to any cancer". By continuing the personalized assessment of an individual's cancer recurrence risk, oncologists can more effectively determine specifically-tailored treatments based on that patient's genomic results.

Chemotherapy is one of the most common treatments for cancer, but a new study shows people diagnosed with one type may be able to skip it. But the researchers who conducted this new controlled experiment found that chemotherapy provided no additional benefit over hormone treatments alone.

Patients were randomly assigned to receive hormone therapy or chemotherapy, followed by hormone therapy.

A 21-gene test called Oncotype Dx that has been around since 2004 has helped guide some decisions, post-surgery.

Trump has, on at least one other occasion, publicly revealed the contents of a tightly held government report before its release. The report is given to senior White House officials the day before its release but is usually closely protected.


However, among younger women with scores 16 to 25, outcomes were slightly better in the chemotherapy group, so in those cases, doctors may urge patients to consider a chemo regimen.

"So all of these patients who participated in this can look back and say".

But she has now been completely cancer free for the past two years and leads an active life. The study which started in 2006 followed almost 7,000 breast cancer patients - including 70 from Mobile who made their potentially life-saving contribution at the University of South Alabama Mitchell Cancer Institute.

Thousands of breast cancer patients may be safely spared gruelling chemotherapy following a landmark study.

In a paper published in December, Kurian and Katz reported that chemotherapy use was plunging among patients with early-stage breast cancer.

The charity Breast Cancer Now said the findings were "practice-changing".

Albain said research is ongoing, as scientists are now exploring questions about what types of chemotherapy might be effective on various groups based on their genomics, and what will happen to the participants of the clinical trial as even more time passes.

According to researchers from the USA, early breast cancers can be successfully treated with a new form of immune therapy instead of traditional chemotherapy.

The breast cancer study cast doubt on chemo's necessity in treating women in early stages of the disease where it has not spread to lymph nodes, it is hormone-positive and it is not the type that the drug Herceptin targets.
