More cancer developments. What about hereditary?

SINGAPORE: A study by the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) has shown that family history of breast cancer is a strong indicator of breast cancer risk among local women.

A history of at least one affected immediate relative (for example, a mother, daughter or sister) is twice as important for breast cancer risk in Singapore women relative to Western women.

The study also showed that the Gail Model - a standard model used in Western populations to predict individual risk of breast cancer - was inaccurate in the local population.

Dr Chay Wen Yee, one of the researchers said: "Our study showed that the Gail Model over-estimated the risk of breast cancer among local women. This shows that methods used to predict risk of breast cancer in the West do not provide accurate estimates in our setting."

Lung cancer also perhaps?

My family is good at it.

WASHINGTON: Hundreds of novel genes that are mutated in stomach cancer, the second-most lethal cancer worldwide, have been identified.

The finding by an international team of scientists, led by researchers from the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School (Duke-NUS) in Singapore and National Cancer Centre of Singapore, paves the way for treatments tailored to the genetic make-up of individual stomach tumours.

Stomach cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death globally with more than 700,000 deaths each year, and is particularly common in East Asia.

Treatment of this deadly disease is often difficult and unsuccessful because of late detection of tumours and a poor understanding of the causes. In the United States, less than a quarter of patients survive more than five years after diagnosis, even after treatment.

Even dental xray can kena brain tumour. Scary right?

WASHINGTON: People who get regular dental X-rays are more likely to suffer a common type of brain tumour, US researchers said on Tuesday, suggesting that yearly exams may not be best for most patients.

The study in the US journal Cancer showed people diagnosed with meningioma who reported having a yearly bitewing exam were 1.4 times to 1.9 times as likely as a healthy control group to have developed such tumours.

A bitewing exam involves an X-ray film being held in place by a tab between the teeth.

Also, people who reported getting a yearly panorex exam -- in which an X-ray is taken outside the mouth and shows all the teeth on one film -- were 2.7 to three times more likely to develop cancer, said the study.
