M. D. Anderson research links diet, gardening and lung cancer risk
By simply eating four or more servings of green salad a week and working in the garden once or twice a week, smokers and nonsmokers alike may be able to substantially reduce the risk of developing lung cancer, say researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.   view more (2007-12-10)

Cancer Survival Rates Higher Than Previously Assumed
Conventional estimates for life expectancy after cancer diagnosis have been too pessimistic, suggests a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. There are two main ways of quantifying survival estimates after cancer diagnosis. The conventional method, known as the cohort method, is based on the... view more (2002-10-09)

New treatment for breast cancer
The Gipuzkoa Cancer Institute and the Donostia-San Sebastian General Hospital have taken the first step to substitute traditional chemotherapy for breast cancer cases with a novel treatment. This new treatment is less aggressive and, thus, does not produce alopecia. From May, the two centres will... view more (2004-04-26)

Genetic mutation associated with increased risk of lung cancer
Carriers of a common genetic disorder previously linked to lung disease may have a 70-percent to 100-percent increased risk of lung cancer, according to a report in the May 26 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.   view more (2008-05-27)

Patients unaware of link between smoking and bladder cancer
Even though cigarette smoking accounts for up to half of all bladder cancer cases, few people are aware of the connection - including more than three-quarters of patients who have bladder cancer.   view more (2008-07-09)

UC Davis researchers discover genetic switch involved in cells' response to radiation therapy

Why cisplatin kills breast cancer cells when other drugs fail
The cancerous cells of some individuals with breast cancer lack expression of two cell surface proteins, the estrogen and progesterone receptors, and do not express increased amounts of HER2.   view more (2007-04-20)

Additional mammogram readers improve breast cancer detection

Patients with lung cancer in Scotland continue to miss out on treatment
Patients with lung cancer in Scotland are not getting the treatment they need, shows a study in Thorax. Only around four out of 10 people eligible for curative treatment received it, and those under 60 were five times more likely to be aggressively treated than patients in their seventies. Over... view more (2001-02-14)

Harnessing Microbes to Kill Cancer
An ingenious new way to attack cancer tumours is being developed by medical researchers from Nottingham as part of an EU consortium, the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Meeting in Edinburgh heard today, Tuesday 8 April 2003. The problem with powerful anti-cancer drugs is that they kill... view more (2003-04-02)

A cancer gene causing tumours by a 'double-whammy' mechanism also reveals the key to a cure
Scientists at the Babraham Institute have discovered that a tiny change in a protein involved in cell survival is responsible for abnormal cell activity in the early stages of cancer. The protein, known as Bcl-xL, normally protects cells from dying; and when the DNA in cells becomes damaged,... view more (2004-01-21)
