There is no amount, pattern or timing of alcohol use during pregnancy proven safe for a developing fetus. Repeat: there is no amount, pattern or timing of alcohol use during pregnancy proven safe for a developing fetus. Drinking in pregnancy can have a range of harmful consequences for the child ─ including poor growth, learning and behavioral difficulties, problems with movement and co-ordination, and distinctive facial features ─ that are collectively known as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). Screening for alcohol use during pregnancy is a necessary first step in preventing FASD, but studies have suggested that primary care providers do not screen consistently and can be hesitant to follow up with women who report drinking. New research published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research has evaluated midwives’ and nurse-midwives’ understanding of the risks of drinking in pregnancy, and their screening practice.
Sleeping with a television or light on in a room may be a risk factor for gaining weight or developing obesity, according to scientists at the National Institutes of Health. The research, published online June 10 in JAMA Internal Medicine, suggests that cutting off lights at bedtime could reduce women’s chances of becoming obese.

Athletes invest hours practicing before a big game. Runners train for months leading up to a marathon. A mother-to-be should likewise prepare herself for the mental and physical rigor of pregnancy, labor and caring for a newborn.
Los estudios muestran que la administración durante 5 años de tamoxifeno, raloxifeno e incluso de los inhibidores de la aromatasa puede reducir a la mitad el riesgo de cáncer de mama. Sin embargo, las mujeres con alto riesgo de cáncer de mama se muestran renuentes a aceptar este medicamento preventivo.
“Individualized therapies are strongly recommended and the treatment decision should be made collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team consisting of obstetricians, gynecologists, oncologists, pediatricians, and psychologists,” says researcher.
Results of a phase 3 clinical trial by researchers at UCLA’s Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found that women with HER2-positive breast cancer had significantly better response rates, but more severe side effects, when they were treated with traditional neoadjuvant chemotherapy along with dual HER2-targeted blockade, compared to a more novel approach using HER2-targeted chemotherapy plus HER2-targeted blockade.
The Henry Ford Cancer Institute has earned a full three-year accreditation designation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a program of the American College of Surgeons. Henry Ford Hospital, Henry Ford Macomb Hospital and Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital each earned full re-accreditation, along with new accreditation for Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital and Henry Ford Allegiance Health, meaning each hospital program within Henry Ford Cancer Institute is now fully-accredited.
Studies show that the risk of breast cancer can be reduced by half through the use of a five-year course of tamoxifen or raloxifene, and also by aromatase inhibitors. Nevertheless, women at high risk of breast cancer have a low acceptance of preventive medicine. A new study by Mayo Clinic and collaborators at the University of Manitoba and CancerCare Manitoba suggests that when women at high risk are presented with personalized genetic information, they're more likely to take preventative medications to reduce their chance of developing breast cancer. The research involved a new blood test developed by Mayo Clinic to identify women at higher genetic risk for developing breast cancer.
A UCLA-led study has found that using a drug called ribociclib in combination with a common hormone therapy may help premenopausal women with the most common type of breast cancer live longer than if they only receive the hormone therapy.
Adding the targeted therapy ribociclib to hormone therapy significantly improved overall survival (OS) in premenopausal patients with advanced hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer, according to results of the MONALEESA-7 Phase III clinical trial led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

There are stark differences in the information provided and conversations doctors have with women and men about elective sterilization. Iowa State researchers analyze the influence of gender and how doctors and patients can improve these conversations.
Researchers at The Johns Hopkins University and other institutions report that a new laboratory test that induces cancer cells to squeeze through narrow spaces has the potential to accurately predict which breast cancers and other solid tumors are likely to spread, or metastasize, to other sites. The test, they say, might also help clinicians select the best drugs to prevent cancer’s spread.
New research by School of Nursing professor Sheila Ridner finds that a special scan measuring lymphatic fluid volume is significantly better than a tape measure at predicting which women undergoing treatment for breast cancer are at risk of developing a common complication resulting from damaged lymph nodes.
