BACKGROUND: Look Good Feel Better (LGFB) aims to help women manage appearance-related side effects of cancer and its Lactation and incidence of premenopausal breast cancer: a longitudinal study. Sat, 09/12/2009 - 21:47 Author / Source: Stuebe AM, Willett WC, Xue F, Michels KB. Arch.Intern.Med. 2009 Aug 10;169(15):1364-1371. BACKGROUND: Findings from observational studies suggest an inverse association between lactation and premenopausal breast cancer risk, but results are inconsistent, and data from large prospective cohort studies are lacking.
METHODS: We used information from 60,075 parous women participating in the prospective cohort study of the Nurses' Health Study II from 1997 to 2005. Our primary outcome was incident premenopausal breast cancer.
Early adulthood uprooted: transitoriness in young women with breast cancer. Sat, 09/12/2009 - 21:42 Author / Source: Shaha M, Bauer-Wu S. Cancer Nurs. 2009 May-Jun;32(3):246-255. Young women with breast cancer face a more aggressive disease and lower survival rate compared with those who are older, thereby confronting the potential finitude of life or transitoriness at a time when they are establishing their careers, developing partnerships, and building families. Little is known about the perspectives of young women with breast cancer in how they consider issues of their own mortality. Breast cancer in women under 40. Sat, 09/12/2009 - 21:36 Author / Source: Peppercorn J. Oncology (Williston) 2009 May;23(6):465-474. Breast cancer among young women is rare and often associated with high-risk features. Age alone has been shown to be an independent risk factor for recurrence, although the biologic explanation for the increased risk among younger women remains unknown. Due to the higher risk of recurrence and otherwise typically good health of young women with breast cancer, one must carefully consider both the maximally effective approach to treatment and the potential long-term consequences of therapy. Factors associated with health-related quality-of-life in breast cancer survivors: influence of the type of surgery. Sat, 09/12/2009 - 21:33 Author / Source: Ohsumi S, Shimozuma K, Morita S, Hara F, Takabatake D, Takashima S, et al. Jpn.J.Clin.Oncol. 2009 Aug;39(8):491-496. OBJECTIVE: To determine if health-related quality-of-life (QOL) differences existed between breast cancer (BC) survi Function of muscles of flexors and extensors of the elbow joint in women after treatment of breast cancer.

BACKGROUND: Limited function of the upper limb is the main problem after radical therapy of breast cancer. Emotional distress impacts fear of the future among breast cancer survivors not the reverse. Sat, 09/12/2009 - 21:21 Author / Source: Lebel S, Rosberger Z, Edgar L, Devins GM. J.cancer.surviv. 2009 Jun;3(2):117-127. INTRODUCTION: Fear of the future is one of the most stressful aspects of having cancer. Research to date has conceptualized fear of the future as a precursor of distress or stress-response symptoms. Yet it is equally plausible that distress would predict increased fear of the future or that they would have a reciprocal influence on each other. The purpose of the present study was to examine the bidirectional relations between fear of the future and distress as well as intrusion and avoidance among breast cancer survivors at 3, 7, 11, and 15 months after diagnosis.
Relationship between caffeine intake and plasma sex hormone concentrations in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Sat, 09/12/2009 - 21:19 Author / Source: Kotsopoulos J, Eliassen AH, Missmer SA, Hankinson SE, Tworoger SS. Cancer 2009 Jun 15;115(12):2765-2774. BACKGROUND: Circulating estrogens and androgens are important factors in the development of various female cancers. Caffeine intake may decrease risk of breast and ovarian cancer, although the data are not entirely consistent. Whether or not caffeine affects cancer risk by altering sex hormone levels is currently unknown.
METHODS: We examined the relationship of caffeine, coffee, decaffeinated coffee, and tea with plasma concentrations of estrogens, androgens, progesterone, prolactin, and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) in 524 premenopausal and 713 postmenopausal women from the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and NHSII. The effect of modafinil on cognitive function in breast cancer survivors. Sat, 09/12/2009 - 21:13 Author / Source: Kohli S, Fisher SG, Tra Y, Adams MJ, Mapstone ME, Wesnes KA, et al. Cancer 2009 Jun 15;115(12):2605-2616. BACKGROUND: The authors conducted a randomized clinical trial examining the effects of modafinil in reducing persistent fatigue in patients after treatment for cancer and performed secondary analyses to assess the effect of modafinil on cognitive function.
