BOSTON Researchers have developed a simple urine test that appears to detect breast cancer early and to track tumor growth accurately.

New findings add to the evidence that genetic tests can help predict whether breast cancer will recur, giving valuable guidance to doctors and patients about whether potentially toxic chemotherapy

Women with early stage breast cancer may soon get another gene test to help predict whether they'll relapse in five or 10 years, information that could influence how aggressively they fight the initial tumor.

The effectiveness of therapy for advanced breast cancer can be rapidly predicted by an analysis of the level of cancer cells in the patient's blood, according to a study.

Scientists in the United States are  developing a screening test for breast cancer that checks a  woman's saliva for evidence of the disease to help find tumors  early, when they are most treatable.

A new genetic test can tell doctors  which breast cancer patients need to undergo the discomfort of  chemotherapy -- and suggests many women don't need to,  researchers said on Friday.

A new technology that counts cancer cells in the blood helps predict the success of breast cancer treatments more quickly and more reliably than established methods, researchers reported.

Hormone replacement therapy, breast surgery and a low body weight all make it harder to detect breast cancer, scientists have discovered.

Scientists identify four more genes that increase breast cancer risk using a method that could help improve tests.

A woman twice told she was in the clear after cancer tests is among hundreds of cases under review.

Women with early-stage breast cancer may soon get another gene test to help predict whether they are likely to have a recurrence in five to 10 years, information that could influence how aggressively the initial tumor is treated.

WASHINGTON -- Federal regulators yesterday approved the first molecular-based laboratory test that -- within minutes -- can tell surgeons whether breast cancer has spread and requires more intensive surgery.

Scientists said Tuesday they have  developed a computer program that can predict whether women  have a high risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer.

The test could help about 80,000 women a year make better choices about how to treat their breast cancer, federal officials said. Half could safely skip chemotherapy, they said.

A new test that counts cancer cells in the bloodstreams of patients with advanced breast cancer best tells whether treatment is working, according to a study led by the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
