Cardiac drug could reduce breast cancer spread and mortality

Share A team of researchers from Monash University has discovered that a cardiac drug (carvedilol) could greatly reduce breast cancer progression, with those taking the drug at the time of diagnosis also much more likely to survive. Carvedilol is a beta-blocker used to manage cardiovascular disorders including hypertension and chemotherapy induced heart disease. In collaboration with a team from the Cancer Registry of Norway, the researchers investigated the effects of carvedilol in a large cohort of breast cancer patients (4,014) and found that if women happened to be taking carvedilol when they were diagnosed, they had a greater chance of survival than those not taking the drug.

Microscopic behavior of developing breast cells uncovered

An improved high-tech fluorescence microscopy technique is allowing researchers to film cells inside the breast as never seen before. This new protocol provides detailed instructions on how to capture hi-res movies of cell movement, division and cooperation, in hard-to-reach regions of breast tissue. The technology - called multiphoton microscopy - uses infrared lasers to illuminate fluorescently labelled breast cells without harming them, so that elusive cell behaviours can be observed within living tissue.
