Breast cancer cells

Harland, et al., (1997) Environmental magnetic fields inhibit the antiproliferative action of tamoxifen and melatonin in a human breast cancer cell line, Bioelectromagnetics 18 555–562. The Foundation works to support the Institute's needs as it leads the way in research, diagnosis, support and treatment of women with breast cancer. Day two of the conference will be planned with the ICSN and is to include the issues of epidemiology, screening and the world burden of breast disease. Harland, et al., (1999) Evidence for a slow time-scale of interaction for magnetic fields inhibiting tamoxifen’s antiproliferative action in human breast cancer cells, Cell Biochem.

The IMPACT study will determine how best to screen men for prostate cancer and to find new screening tools for prostate cancer in this high risk group Breast cancer SNP study: to determine the clinical utility of newly discovered gene SNPs which are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. This is incorrect, however, the derivation of cancer being the Latin cancer meaning gangrene as well as crab. nevertheless, Cancerians are said to be liable to breast cancer and to suffer from pleurisy, dropsy, piles and varicose veins. I thought you might be interested to know there are a number of studies showing magnetic fields of just 12mG (1.2µT) block the ability of tamoxifen to control the growth of human breast cancer cells (see references below). The Institute is a treatment, research and education facility encompassing the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Concord Repatriation General Hospital, Canterbury Hospital and the Strathfield Breast Center. Plenary sessions on screening and epidemiology, genetics, DCIS, invasive disease (localised and metastatic), personalised medicine, targeted therapy psychosocial and supportive care are being planned. Workshops (radiography, breast care nursing, pathology etc.) will focus on specific discipline knowledge.
