New Model More Accurately Predicts Breast Cancer Risk in Hispanic Women

Dr. Mitchell Gail and collaborators have developed the first breast cancer risk model based exclusively on data from Hispanic women. The model will become part of NCI’s online tool that helps providers calculate breast cancer risk in individual patients.

CLL Patient Provides Invaluable Resource for Study of Cancer Evolution

Dr. Michael Dean and colleagues charted changes in cancer cells through the course of disease over 29 years for a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), treated at the NIH Clinical Center. Six mutation profiles emerged; close examination of these patterns could reveal details about the molecular mechanics of cancer evolution.
