From Italy, the early detection of a second case of breast cancer can significantly increase survival chances. In a study of over 1,000 women, researchers found that those who survived breast cancer once before were 27% to 47% more likely to survive a subsequent breast cancer if it was detected in the asymptomatic stage.
From Kingston, Queen's University researchers may have found a new diagnostic test for fetal alcohol syndrome using old technology. The researchers used eye-tracking tools to test 89 children for the condition, and found that children with the disorder reacted more slowly to visual stimuli than those without the condition. The researchers are now planning to conduct a much larger trial.
And finally from Toronto, researchers from Princess Margaret Hospital have concluded that biopsies should be performed on suspected metastatic breast cancer. In a study of 35 women, researchers found that biopsies of suspected metastatic breast cancer resulted in a change in clinical management among 20% of patients. Currently, biopsy is not standard practice for metastatic disease.
