Source of infection affects hospital mortality in septic shock patients in the ICU
In ICU patients who have septic shock, the anatomic source of infection has a strong effect on the chances of survival, according to a new study from researchers in Canada. View More (2013-05-20)
Popular diabetes drug does not improve survival rates after cancer: Study
Despite previous scientific studies that suggest diabetes drug metformin has anti-cancer properties, a new, first-of-its-kind study from Women's College Hospital has found the drug may not actually improve survival rates after breast cancer in certain patients. View More (2013-05-10)
Lucky bacteria strike it rich during formation of treatment-resistant colonies
In biology, we often think of natural selection and survival of the fittest. What about survival of the luckiest? View More (2013-05-09)
Time to tumor growth helps predict survival benefit of Bevacizumab for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer
Certara™, a leading provider of software and scientific consulting services to improve productivity and decision-making from drug discovery through drug development, announced that its Pharsight Consulting Services has developed a mathematical model of tumor growth inhibition, which when combined with baseline prognostic factors, predicts treatment effect with bevacizumab for patients with...

Study finds survival from cardiac arrest highest in the operating room or post-anesthesia care unit
A University of Michigan study from the "Online First" edition of Anesthesiology found cardiac arrest was associated with improved survival when it occurred in the operating room (O.R.) or post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) compared to other hospital locations. View More (2013-05-02)
Team finds markers related to ovarian cancer survival and recurrence
Researchers at the University of Illinois have identified biomarkers that can be used to determine ovarian cancer survival and recurrence, and have shown how these biomarkers interact with each other to affect these outcomes.

Researcher part of team showing connection between chemoresponse assays and improved ovarian cancer survival rates
This spring, a team of researchers has released results from an eight-year study that shows improved survival rates for women diagnosed with ovarian cancer who undergo cancer tumor testing to determine the best treatment. View More (2013-04-26)
Patients who have STEMI heart attacks while hospitalized more likely to die
If you suffer a heart attack while walking down the street and are taken to the hospital quickly, your chances of survival are very good. But if you have a heart attack while already in the hospital for something else, you are 10 times more likely to die. View More (2013-04-18)
New drug combination therapy developed to treat leukemia
A new, pre-clinical study by researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center suggests that a novel drug combination could lead to profound leukemia cell death by disrupting the function of two major pro-survival proteins. View More (2013-04-18)
CT and serum LDH shows promise as survival predictor for some metastatic melanoma patients
Combining CT imaging findings with baseline serum lactate dehydrogenase levels is showing promise as a way to predict survival in patients with metastatic melanoma being treated with anti-angiogenic therapy. View More (2013-04-17)
Gene signature can predict who will survive chemotherapy
An eight gene 'signature' can predict length of relapse-free survival after chemotherapy, finds new research in Biomed Central's open access journal BMC Medicine. View More (2013-04-16)
Fat cells prolong survival of human stem cells grown in vitro
One of the main obstacles that stands in the way of using human hematopoietic stem cells (hHSCs) to treat a variety of diseases is the difficulty growing them in culture-they quickly die or differentiate into other cell types. View More (2013-04-10)
Vitamin P as a potential approach for the treatment of damaged motor neurons
Biologists from the Ruhr-Universität Bochum have explored how to protect neurons that control movements from dying off. View More (2013-04-03)
African Americans experience longer delay between prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment
African American men on average wait a week longer than their Caucasian counterparts between the initial diagnosis of prostate cancer and treatment, according to University of North Carolina researchers. View More (2013-04-02)
Researchers are first to use common virus to 'fortify' adult stem cells
Using the same strategy that a common virus employs to evade the human immune system, researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center's Institute for Regenerative Medicine have modified adult stem cells to increase their survival - with the goal of giving the cells time to exert their natural healing abilities.

HPV improves survival for African-Americans with throat cancer
Even though the human papillomavirus (HPV) is a risk factor for certain head and neck cancers, its presence could make all the difference in terms of survival, especially for African Americans with throat cancer, according to a newly published study from Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.

Higher soy intake prior to lung cancer diagnosis linked to longer survival in women
New results from a large observational follow-up study conducted in Shanghai, China, indicate that women with lung cancer who consumed more soy food prior to their cancer diagnosis lived longer than those who consumed less soy. View More (2013-03-26)
Genetic alterations linked with bladder cancer risk, recurrence, progression, and patient survival
A new analysis has found that genetic alterations in a particular cellular pathway are linked with bladder cancer risk, recurrence, disease progression, and patient survival. View More (2013-03-25)
Scientists investigate potential markers for a response to sunitinib in patients with metastatic RCC
Markers such as CA9, CD31, CD34 and VEGFR1/2 in the primary tumours might serve as predictors of a good response to a sunitinib treatment in patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), according to a new study to be presented at the 28th Annual EAU Congress currently on-going in Milan.
