Study: False-Positive Mammograms May Indicate Later Risk

This story comes from the Yahoo! Contributor Network, where individuals publish their unique perspectives on some of the world’s most popular websites.Do you have a story to tell? Become a Yahoo! contributor A study published this week in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute has shown a connection between having previously received a false-positive mammogram and an increased risk of developing breast cancer later on. The study, which was released on Thursday, was conducted by researchers at the University of Copenhagen.

How was the study conducted?

Scientists analyzed the case histories and mammography results of some 58,003 women, all of whom were 50 to 69 years old. The women were screened from 1991 to 2005, according to My Health News Daily.

What did the study find?

After analyzing the data, researchers found that women that had previously had a false-positive mammogram result had a 67 percent greater risk of being diagnosed with the disease at a later date, at a rate of 583 per 100,000. This increased risk appeared to be prevalent for at least six years after the false-positive results. Comparatively only 339 per 100,000 women who had previously had only negative results went on to be diagnosed with breast cancer at a later date. This disparity showed a decrease from the year 2000 and onward.

Why did the disparity shrink for women who were screened after 2000?

Breast cancer specialist Stephanie Bernik said the primary reason might be attributable to the fact our screening processes have gotten better. The number of false-positive tests in general has dropped since then, according to WebMD.

What do researchers think causes this increased risk?

The study only proved an association, so the causes remain unknown. Still, breast cancer experts such as Susan Love have weighed in. Love told ABC News that women with a family history of breast cancer are more likely to receive a false-positive result at some point. She also theorized that it was possible that the testing involved in verifying the results of a false-positive may cause an inflammatory reaction of some kind that increases a woman's risk. Lastly, she pointed out that the false-positives may be catching subtle changes that do not yet signal cancer, which is why some women got a true positive result later on. But, she stressed that scientists do not know the real reason for the increased risk as of yet.

My von Euler-Chelpin, a researcher and associate professor of epidemiology at the University of Copenhagen, reiterated that improvements in screening technology may account for much of the drop in false-positives after 2000. She said that there may have been a higher incidence of missed diagnoses previously that would account for cancer then being found at a later date, hence the appearance of greater risk.

Roche may boost bid for Illumina after rebuff

Reuters – 23 hrs ago CHICAGO (Reuters) - Drugmaker Roche Holding AG may be willing to up the ante in its attempt to buy Illumina Inc., a disease fighter, after a recommendation that Illumina's shareholders reject its latest hostile offer, Roche said in a statement on Friday.

"We remain willing to consider additional value if given the opportunity to enter discussions and perform due diligence," said Severin Schwan, CEO of Roche Group.

Proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) said on Friday in its recommendation to reject the offer that Roche's $6.7 billion bid for San Diego-based Illumina undervalues the firm.

Schwan said Roche was disappointed over the recommended rejection of the bid for Illumina. But "we are pleased that ISS noted that Roche would seem to be an excellent partner for Illumina as the sequencing industry grows more intertwined with new drug development," he said.

Swiss-based Roche is the world's largest maker of cancer drugs and Illumina is a maker of machines that search the human genome for ways to defeat disease.

Roche bid $44.50 per share early in the year and bumped the offer to $51 at the end of March. Illumina, whose stock was listed at $52.33 per share at Thursday's close, rejected both offers. Roche said the latest offer represented an approximate $6.8 billion bid "on a fully diluted basis."

Roche also has nominated a slate of candidates who will seek election to Illumina's board of directors at the April 18 meeting and proposed certain other matters, the statement said.

Heavy Backpacks Give Kids Back Trouble

HealthDay – 15 hrs ago SATURDAY, April 7 (HealthDay News) -- Many teens carry school backpacks that exceed 10 percent to 15 percent of their body weight, which puts them at risk for back pain and related disorders, a new study says.

The threat posed by the heavy weight is made greater by the fact that most teens don't get enough exercise, according to the researchers.

The study included more than 1,400 students, aged 12 to 17, in 11 schools in a province in northwestern Spain. The teens were first weighed with the backpack they normally carry to school and then weighed again without the backpack.

The researchers also collected information about the students' height, exercise levels, underlying health problems and back health.

The average weight of the students' backpacks was almost 7 kilograms (15.4 pounds). Nearly 62 percent of the students carried backpacks that exceeded 10 percent of their body weight, and 18 percent carried backpacks that exceeded 15 percent of their body weight.

One in four students said they had experienced back pain for more than 15 days during the previous year. The most common problem was scoliosis, or curvature of the spine, which was diagnosed in 70 percent of the students with back pain. Low back pain and continuous and involuntary muscle contraction were also common problems.

Girls were more likely to have back problems than boys, and their risk seemed to increase with age.

Teens with the heaviest backpacks were 50 percent more likely to have back pain for longer than 15 days, compared to those with the lightest backpacks.

The study appears online in the Archives of Disease in Childhood.

Doctors and teachers need to educate parents and children about the risks of carrying heavy backpacks to school every day, the researchers said.

Dentists Play Key Role in Detecting Oral Cancer

HealthDay – 15 hrs ago SATURDAY, April 7 (HealthDay News) -- Not only do regular dental exams help keep your teeth and gums healthy, they can help detect oral cancer, the Academy of General Dentistry says.

As part of Oral Cancer Awareness Month in April, the group recommends that people get a dental exam from a general dentist every six months.

"The next time you visit your dentist, ask about an oral cancer screening," academy spokesperson Dr. Seung-Hee Rhee advised in an academy news release.

"Your dentist will feel for lumps or irregular tissue changes in your neck, head, cheeks, and oral cavity and thoroughly examine the soft tissues in your mouth, specifically looking for any sores or discolored tissues. Although you may have already been receiving this screening from your dentist, it's a good idea to confirm that this screening is a part, and will remain a part, of your regular exam," Rhee said.

Each year in the United States, more than 30,000 new cases of oral cancer are diagnosed, and more than 8,000 people die of the disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The five-year survival rate for oral cancer is about 50 percent.

"If it is not diagnosed and treated in its early stages, oral cancer can be deadly," Rhee said. "Treatment for advanced stage oral cancer may lead to chronic pain, loss of function, permanent facial and oral disfigurement following surgery. The earlier the cancer is detected and treated, the better the outcome."

Possible warning signs of oral cancer may include: bleeding sores; sores that do not heal; lumps or thick, hard spots; soreness or feeling that something is caught in the throat; difficulty chewing or swallowing; ear pain; difficulty moving the jaw or tongue; hoarseness; numbness of the tongue, and changes in the way teeth fit together.
