Hematology News Stories
Current Hematology News Events, Discoveries and Articles
Math could help cure leukemia
When kids complain that math homework won't help them in real life, a new answer might be that math could help cure cancer. (2008-06-20)
Gene-expression profiling of the effects of liver toxins
Gene-expression data from liver tissue or whole blood can be used to classify histopathologic differences in the effects of hepatotoxins. It is hoped that these findings, published in BioMed Central's open access journal, Genome Biology, will lead to a more precise way of defining the potential hepatotoxicity of new compounds. (2008-06-20)
OHSU Cancer Institute finds that drug stimulated immune system in prostate cancer
In a multi-site study, Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have found that a drug called Ipilimumab, also known as MDX-010, works to stimulate the body's own immune system to fight prostate cancer. The drug was found to be effective in study participants with a serious type of prostate cancer - one where the tumor has spread and was resistant to hormonal treatment and, in some cases, also to chemotherapy. (2008-06-03)
OHSU Cancer Institute researchers find novel chemo drug helps treat prostate cancer
Men with a certain type of prostate cancer have been shown to respond to a new chemotherapy drug, Sagopilone, plus prednisone in an international trial led by Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers. (2008-06-02)
OHSU Cancer Instutute researchers find abnormalities in gene for melanoma
New research from the Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute about mutations in melanoma may bring a wellspring of hope to many patients. (2008-05-30)
OHSU Discovery May Lead to Early Cancer Detection
OHSU pancreatic cancer expert Brett Sheppard, M.D., and colleagues in the OHSU Oregon Stem Cell Center, have developed antibodies that recognize pancreatic cancer; Sheppard is presenting these findings this week during Digestive Disease Week in San Diego. (2008-05-23)
Study finds it pays to be heart smart if considering hormone therapy
A research study has found that a simple blood test may indicate whether post-menopausal hormone therapies present an elevated risk of a heart attack. (2008-05-22)
Blood-clotting protein modified for people with hard-to-treat hemophilia
Pathologists at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston have developed a chemically modified protein that may help people with a hard-to-treat form of a genetic bleeding disorder known as Hemophilia A. (2008-05-20)
Mastectomies on the rise and MRI use may explain part of the trend, say Mayo researchers
The number of women undergoing mastectomy (total breast removal) for early-stage breast cancer has increased in the last three years at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The increase follows a steady decline during the prior seven years. (2008-05-16)
OHSU Cancer Institute researchers pinpoint how smoking causes cancer
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have pinpointed the protein that can lead to genetic changes that cause lung cancer. (2008-05-14)
