ℹ️ Chemotherapy is treatment with one or more anti-cancer (cytotoxic) drugs. Having chemotherapy makes it less likely that your breast cancer will come back in the future. Whether you will benefit from chemotherapy, and the exact drugs you are given, depends on your breast cancer. We explain more. ⬇️ ... See more

Today is World Oral Health Day.

The most common symptom of mouth cancer is an ulcer or sore in the mouth or on the lip that doesn’t heal.

Other symptoms may include the following:

🔵 A white or red patch in the mouth that doesn’t go away.
🔵 A lump or thickening in the mouth or on the lip.
🔵 Difficulty or pain with chewing, swallowing or speaking.
🔵 Bleeding or numbness in the mouth.
🔵 Bad breath.
🔵 Loose teeth or dentures that don’t fit well anymore.
🔵 A lump in the neck.
🔵 Losing a lot of weight over a short time.

These symptoms can be caused by other conditions, but it's important to have them checked by your doctor or dentist. Mouth cancer can be treated more successfully when it’s diagnosed early.

Today is World Kidney Day so we're talking about kidney cancer.

Small kidney cancers don’t usually cause symptoms. They are often diagnosed by chance. For example, when people are having tests or scans for some other reason.

When kidney cancer does cause symptoms, these may include:

🔵 Blood in the urine (this is the most common symptom).
🔵 A dull pain in your side between your upper abdomen and back.
🔵 A high temperature, night sweats and feeling very tired.
🔵 Losing weight for no obvious reason.
🔵 A lump in the tummy area, side or back.

Most people with these symptoms won’t have kidney cancer. They can be caused by more common conditions. But it’s important to get any symptoms checked by a doctor.

📰 Scientists part-funded by Breast Cancer Now have found that new drugs called PARP inhibitors may boost the body’s immune response and enhance the effect of immunotherapies in breast and lung cancers.

PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy currently used to treat BRCA-mutated ovarian cancer, and have been approved for treatment of advanced BRCA-mutated breast cancer in the USA.

The new research suggests that combining PARP inhibitors with some immunotherapies could offer an effective treatment for certain cancers.

Professor Chris Lord, Professor of Cancer Genomics at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, who led the study, explained:

"The findings of this study substantially change our understanding of how PARP inhibitors work. We now know that they not only kill tumours by damaging their DNA, but also by attracting immune cells to attack them – acting as a sort of double-pronged attack."

PARP inhibitors can specifically kill cancer cells with faults in genes involved in DNA repair, such as the BRCA1 and 2 genes in breast cancer, or the ERCC1 gene in some lung cancers, both of which were used in this study.

PARP inhibitors were first developed as a cancer treatment following landmark research by UK scientists at the Breast Cancer Now Toby Robins Research Centre at The Institute of Cancer Research, London in 2005, who demonstrated for the first time that cancer cells with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations were very sensitive to this class of drugs. ...

A balanced world is a better world. On International Women’s Day, our researchers have a message encouraging women to believe in themselves, to face challenges, be inspired, and to never give up on their goals.

[Clockwise from top]

Kate Makin, PhD Student: "Don’t be afraid of making mistakes and to ask questions even if they may seem silly or obvious. Secretly, everyone is a little unsure of what they are doing.”

Professor Leonie Young, Professor of Surgery: “Balancing life and work can be challenging. I’m sure other scientists also feel the same.”

Dr. Jennifer Gomm, Programme Leader: “The brave women with breast cancer. They are my driving force.”

Dr. Rachel Eyre, Postdoctoral Research Associate: “Science has traditionally been a very male-dominated career. It’s still tough for women, but I think things are changing, and we need more women coming into science to keep challenging perceptions, and keep things moving forward. Out of our lab window we can see patients entering the hospital, and every patient I see inspires me to get on with the job.”

Dr. Violet Warwick, Programme Manager: "If you want it, just do it. There’s nothing holding you back but you.”

Dr. Charlotte Coles, Consultant Oncologist: “Make sure you aim as high as you can, we often underestimate our own capabilities. You can do this.”

Dana Bhattacharyya, PhD student: “I’m inspired every day, by my friends, my supervisor, and most of all by own curiosity to find answers.”
