Another study done by researchers at the University of California-Davis Medical Center found that cigarette smoking was associated with spread of breast cancer to the lungs. Those patients also had higher fatality rates.

Ixempra (Ixabepilone) for Metastatic Breast Cancer
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a new drug, Ixempra, for patients with metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer. The drug showed such promise that the FDA fast-tracked its study of Ixempra'a safety and effectiveness, completing their review in six months. Ixempra can be given alone or in combination with capecitabine, for patients who have already tried anthracyclines and taxanes. This drug helps prevent cell division, and in some patients, caused tumors to shrink.
