Benefits seen for high-risk women in ovary removal

Surgery to remove healthy ovaries gives a triple benefit to high-risk women: It lowers their threat of breast and ovarian cancer, and boosts their chances of living longer, new research suggests. The study is the largest to date to find advantages for preventive surgery for women who carry BRCA gene mutations. Women with the faulty genes have a dramatically higher cancer risk than other women - five times greater for breast cancer and at least 10 times greater for ovarian cancer. August 31, 2010

Shocking Study: New Breast Cancer Tests Causes Cancer - Health Blog - CBS News

Do the diagnostic tests doctors use to detect breast cancer actually cause cancer? That's the shocking finding of a new study of some of the newest, most sophisticated imaging techniques, including breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) and positron emission tomography (PEM). While the new techniques can be very helpful in diagnosing some tricky cases of breast cancer, they involve the injection of radioactive material, which increase the risk of developing cancer. Just how risky are the new procedures? "A single breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) or positron emission mammography (PEM) examination carries a lifetime risk of inducing fatal cancer greater than or comparable to a lifetime of annual screening mammography starting at age 40," the study's author, Dr. R. Edward Hendrick, clinical professor of radiology at the University of Colorado-Denver, School of Medicine in Aurora, said in a written statement.
