Eye Cancer News Stories
Current Eye Cancer News Events, Discoveries and Articles
Bioluminescence imaging used for eye cancer detection
At the moment, doctors rely on biopsy analysis to determine the progression of eye cancer. However, researchers now believe that a new technology, bioluminescence imaging (BLI), will allow doctors to detect tumors earlier and quickly choose a method of treatment that doesn't necessarily involve eye surgery. (2009-10-14)
UBC researchers discover gene mutation that causes eye cancer
A University of British Columbia geneticist has discovered a gene mutation that can cause the most common eye cancer - uveal melanoma. (2008-12-11)
St. Jude defines eye cancer gene's role in retinal development
A genetic discovery led by scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital helps answer a long-standing mystery about the eyes of vertebrates, and may translate into a deeper understanding of how genes coordinate the complex process of eye formation and how a rare pediatric eye cancer progresses. (2008-01-17)
St. Jude identifies the specific cell that causes eye cancer, disproving long-held theory
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have identified the cell that gives rise to the eye cancer retinoblastoma, disproving a long-standing principle of nerve growth and development. (2007-10-19)
Immune deficiency linked to a type of eye cancer
The incidence of squamous cell eye cancer is greater among kidney transplant patients and people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) than the general public, which suggests the disease is associated with immune deficiency. (2007-08-15)
New genetic test predicts risk of metastasis in patients with deadly eye cancer
Imagine being diagnosed with eye cancer - but your doctor can't tell whether you have the aggressive type that will swiftly spread, causing blindness and death in as early as a year. (2006-11-15)
St. Jude announces breakthrough in eye cancer treatment
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have demonstrated in a mouse model a new, locally applied treatment for the eye cancer retinoblastoma that not only greatly reduces the size of the tumor, but does so without causing the side effects common with standard chemotherapy. (2006-11-02)
Genetic insights may explain retinal growth, eye cancer
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have discovered the role of several key genes in the development of the retina, and in the process have taken a significant step toward understanding how to prevent or cure the potentially deadly eye cancer retinoblastoma. (2006-05-09)
Radiation therapy can help spare vision in patients with melanoma of the eye
Treating a rare form of eye cancer with radiation therapy can spare patients from significant vision loss. (2005-10-19)
Retinoblastoma researchers find success with two-drug combination
Retinoblastoma is a tumor that arises in the cells of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eyeball, following mutation of the gene RB1. (2005-10-18)
