Adults who struggle with CPAP treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) should be considered candidates for reconstructive surgery on the upper airway, because it holds the same quality-of-life (QOL) benefits but with more permanence. view more (2009-08-03)
Fox Chase researchers identify differences in treatments and outcomes of patients with second primary lung cancers versus those with one primary lung cancer
Patients with second primary lung cancers (SPLC), when compared to those with one primary lung cancer (OPLC), are more likely to have localized disease at the time of diagnosis and are more likely to receive surgical treatment rather than radiation treatment. view more (2009-08-03)
Variation in prostate stem cell antigen gene raises bladder cancer risk
Researchers have pinpointed a specific gene variation that causes increased risk of urinary bladder cancer, according to a scientific team led by The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2009-08-03)
Study Links Virus To Some Cases Of Common Skin Cancer
A virus discovered last year in a rare form of skin cancer has also been found in people with the second most common form of skin cancer among Americans, according to researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute. view more (2009-07-31)
Nanoparticle-delivered 'suicide' genes slowed ovarian tumor growth
Nanoparticle delivery of diphtheria toxin-encoding DNA selectively expressed in ovarian cancer cells reduced the burden of ovarian tumors in mice, and researchers expect this therapy could be tested in humans within 18 to 24 months, according to a report in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. view more (2009-07-30)

Molecule Plays Early Role In Nonsmoking Lung Cancer
The cause of lung cancer in never-smokers is poorly understood, but a study led by investigators at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center and at the National Cancer Institute has identified a molecule believed to play an early and important role in its development. view more (2009-07-28)
Smoking increases potential for metastatic pancreatic cancer
Smoking has once again been implicated in the development of advanced cancer. Exposure to nicotine by way of cigarette smoking may increase the likelihood that pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma will become metastatic. view more (2009-07-28)
Chicago team uses artificial intelligence to diagnose metastatic cancer

Protein That Promotes Cancer Cell Growth Identified
Scientists at Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have found that the Caspase-8 protein, long known to play a major role in promoting programmed cell death (apoptosis), helps relay signals that can cause cancer cells to proliferate, migrate and invade surrounding tissues. view more (2009-07-27)
Surgery remans an option for advanced lung cancer
In recent years, oncologists have debated whether patients with a certain type of advanced lung cancer would benefit from surgery. view more (2009-07-27)
