Common breast cancer treatments target tumors by blocking or reducing the levels of estrogen in the body. These treatments may be rendered ineffective in patients with high cholesterol, where tumors can rely on the estrogen-mimicking molecule 27HC as an alternative fuel source.
Research findings suggest there may be a simple way to reduce the risk of breast cancer by keeping cholesterol in check, either with statins or a healthy diet. Additionally, for women who have breast cancer and high cholesterol, taking statins may delay or prevent resistance to endocrine therapies such as tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors.
Researchers at the Duke Cancer Institute have found that a byproduct of cholesterol functions like the hormone estrogen, fueling the growth and spread of the most common types of breast cancers.

Twenty years ago this month, Newswise began with the goal to provide more effective communication between journalists and their sources. As the first online news service for journalists, the original vision for Newswise was to build a comprehensive database of news releases about research news, and to deliver it with state-of-the-art technology.
The recently launched Expert Pitch service from Newswise allows journalists to access sources to comment on breaking news events through an online portal, an email newsletter provided by Newswise, and the @Expert_Pitch Twitter feed.

Journalists who participate more actively on LinkedIn have more positive attitudes toward the network.
Although most Americans would choose to be healthy if that option were easier, obesity is expected to increase in the coming years, largely due to the negative influence of environmental factors of unhealthy food choices and increasingly sedentary lifestyles. Possible solutions to these issues include an emphasis on education and increased transparency in nutritional information labels for consumers.
Findings of a recent study conducted by Newswise indicate that as many as 70% of media professionals have profiles on the popular social networking site LinkedIn. Further investigation reveals that their attitudes toward LinkedIn, and social networking in general, remain somewhat ambivalent. An informative report on the study provides a sampling of survey responses, and an assessment of perceptions about the value of social networking from a professional media perspective.
The first of its kind, an effectiveness study by Newswise has shown that 93% of research news releases and 77% of feature news releases get at least 5 news clips in major media outlets. The study also explored the reach and relevance of web search results duplicating the original news release.
