Study shows further benefits of noscapine for prostate cancer
New research has revealed a major breakthrough in the use of cough medicine ingredient noscapine as a prophylactic treatment for prostate cancer. view more (2010-03-19)
Researchers find new chemotherapy combination shows promise in endometrial cancer
Researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report that in a small study of women with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer, gemcitabine and cisplatin, when used in combination, produced a response rate in fifty percent of patients. view more (2010-03-18)
SBRT eliminates tumors with promising survival for early-stage inoperable lung cancer patients
Highly-focused stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) can eliminate the targeted tumor while avoiding treatment-related illness and may ultimately improve survival for patients with inoperable non-small cell lung cancer, according to early findings of a Radiation Therapy Oncology Group study published in the March 17 cancer-themed issue of the... view more...

Revisiting the need to detect circulating tumor cells
One of the most dangerous characteristics of cancer is its ability to metastasize, or spread through the body. For this reason, oncologists have a major need for better tests to detect cells that break away from primary tumors to travel to other parts of the body. view more (2010-03-17)
Solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas or pancreatic endocrine tumor?
Solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas is relatively rare. There are some similarities between SPN and pancreatic endocrine tumor (PET), especially the non-functioning ones, in clinical and pathological manifestations. view more (2010-03-17)
New cancer drug screening technique more closely mirrors reality
Improving on traditional screening tests for potential anti-cancer drugs, scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have developed a laboratory technique that more closely simulates the real-world conditions in which tumor cells mingle with the body's normal cells. view more (2010-03-15)
Researchers discover brain tumor's 'grow-or-go' switch
Cancer cells in rapidly growing brain tumors must adjust to periods of low energy or die. When energy levels are high, tumor cells grow and proliferate. When levels are low, the cells grow less and migrate more. view more (2010-03-12)
K-State professor finds link between low oxygen levels in body and cancer-aiding protein
What began as research into how diabetics could possibly preserve their eyesight has led to findings that could prolong the vision of children afflicted with retinoblastoma. view more (2010-03-10)
Dietary supplements discouraged for prostate cancer patients
Prostate-specific dietary supplements should not be taken during radiation therapy treatments because they have been shown to increase the radiosensitivity of normal prostate cell lines, leading to normal tissue complications, according to a study in the March issue of the International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, the official... view more...

High weight associated with risk of colorectal tumors without microsatellite instability
The increased risk of colorectal cancer associated with obesity may be largely restricted to tumors that have no or low microsatellite instability (MSI), a common condition in most colorectal cancers, according to a new study published online March 8 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2010-03-08)
A new indicator of poor prognosis in node-negative colorectal cancer patients
Tumor budding at the invasive tumor front of colorectal cancer is recognized as an independent prognostic factor significantly related to both lymph node and distant metastasis. view more (2010-03-05)
Possible vaccine for mesothelioma proven safe
Researchers have demonstrated the safety of a potential vaccine against mesothelioma, a rare cancer associated primarily with asbestos exposure. view more (2010-03-04)
Freezing breast tumors helps stop cancer's spread in mice, U-M study finds
Freezing a cancer kills it in its place, and also appears to generate an immune response that helps stop the cancer's spread, leading to improved survival rates over surgery. view more (2010-03-03)
New cancer-fighting strategy focuses on signaling molecules
Cancer researchers studying the immune system have identified a previously unrecognized set of targets and biomarkers to battle solid tumors. view more (2010-02-25)
Mayo oral cancer study shows full tumor genome
Mayo Clinic researchers along with collaborators from Life Technologies are reporting on the application of a new approach for sequencing RNA to study cancer tumors. view more (2010-02-24)
New tool illuminates connections between stem cells and cancer
Researchers have a new tool to understand how cancers grow -- and with it a new opportunity to identify novel cancer drugs. They've been able to break apart human prostate tissue, extract the stem cells in that tissue, and alter those cells genetically so that they spur cancer. view more (2010-02-22)
Few differences in outcomes between open and laparoscopic prostate surgery
Of the 200,000 men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer each year in the United States, about one-third will undergo surgical treatment. view more (2010-02-22)
VARI Findings May Help Patients with Deadly Kidney Cancer
Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) researchers have found a way to reverse resistance to sunitinib, a treatment that is currently the first line of defense against clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), a deadly form of kidney cancer. view more (2010-02-19)
New endoscopic treatment may spare Barrett's esophagus patients from surgery
Early tumor formation in Barrett's esophagus (BE) can be effectively and safely treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA), in combination with prior endoscopic removal of visible lesions, according to a new study in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, the official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute. view more (2010-02-19)
Researchers chart genomic map spanning over 2 dozen cancers
An international team of researchers has created a genome-scale map of 26 different cancers, revealing more than 100 genomic sites where DNA from tumors is either missing or abnormally duplicated compared to normal tissues. view more (2010-02-18)
