A normal liver is observed in about 10% of HCV infected patients and the natural history of theses so-called "healthy-HCV carriers" is not fully defined. view more (2008-09-24)
Kaposi sarcoma arises independently from multiple cells
Kaposi sarcoma is unique among cancers because most tumors grow from a small number of different cells, whereas nearly all other cancers arise from a single cell. view more (2007-07-11)
Cancer Research UK supports additional TroVax phase II trial in colorectal cancer
Oxford BioMedica announced today that Cancer Research UK (CRUK) has agreed to conduct and sponsor an open label Phase II trial with Oxford BioMedica's leading cancer immunotherapy product, TroVax®, in colorectal cancer patients who have liver metastases. The decision by CRUK follows extensive review of the successful Phase I/II data of TroVax... view more... (2003-08-28)
New alternative to biopsy detects subtle changes in cancer cells, Stanford study shows
A drop of blood or a chunk of tissue smaller than the period at the end of this sentence may one day be all that is necessary to diagnose cancers and assess their response to treatment, say researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. view more (2009-04-13)

Breast self-examination (BSE) should not be seen as a cheaper alternative to mammography, and people who still advocate it as an effective way of reducing breast cancer mortality are doing women a disservice, a scientist will say at the 4th European Breast Cancer Conference next week (Tuesday 16 March). Professor Lars Holmberg,... view more... (2004-03-10)
New gene test for prostate cancer at hand
Men with susceptibility for prostate cancer will soon be identifiable through a simple DNA test. So hope scientists at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet, who have shown that men carrying a combination of known risk genes run a four to five times higher risk of developing prostate cancer. view more (2008-01-18)
Removal of superficial tumours in oesophagus by endoscopy can avoid complete extirpation of this part of the digestive tract
The removal through endoscopy of tumours that affect only the superficial layers of the oesophagus can avoid complete extirpation of this part of the digestive tract. view more (2008-04-11)
Not all fat is created equal
A Temple University study finds fat in obese patients is "sick" when compared to fat in lean patients. view more (2008-08-28)
Dartmouth researchers discover gene signatures for scleroderma

End of the bedrest campaign
Long-duration spaceflight has a significant impact on the body, with astronauts experiencing changes in their bone and muscle in particular. To meet the requirements of long-stay missions aboard the International Space Station and prepare for future interplanetary missions, space agencies are working together to develop preventive-medicine methods... view more...

UC Davis study finds HIV hiding from drugs in gut, preventing immune recovery
UC Davis researchers have discovered that the human immunodeficiency virus, the virus that causes AIDS, is able to survive efforts to destroy it by hiding out in the mucosal tissues of the intestine. view more (2006-07-31)
New Study Looks At Sensitivity To Sun
A project designed to try and explain the way genes influence sensitivity to sun is underway at the University of Edinburgh. The study will look not only at the role of ultraviolet radiation in causing skin cancer, but at its benefits in treating of patients with psoriasis, eczema and a range of other skin conditions. Professor of Dermatology... view more... (2002-04-24)
Sonohysterography is an Alternative Diagnostic Tool for Women with Adenomyosis Suffering from Dysmenorrhea, Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding and Pelvic Pain
Sonohysterography (SHG), a simple ultrasound technique commonly used to evaluate the uterine cavity, improves the diagnostic capability of transvaginal ultrasound in detecting adenomyosis (a common benign condition of the uterus that causes dysmenorrhea, abnormal vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain), according to a study performed at the Thomas... view more...

University of Saskatchewan and Canadian Synchrotron researchers shed light on esophageal disease
Canadian Light Source (CLS) staff scientist Luca Quaroni and Dr. Alan Casson, Head of the Department of Surgery at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) used the synchrotron's infrared microscope to identify tissue afflicted with a condition known as Barrett's Esophagus from chemical fingerprints associated with the disease, which can lead to... view more...

PET scan can non invasively measure early assessment of treatment for common type of breast cancer
Non-invasive imaging can measure how well patients with the most common form of breast cancer - estrogen receptor positive type - respond to standard aromatase inhibitor therapy after only two weeks and shows similar findings that more invasive needle sampling identifies, according to a poster presentation to be presented at the ASCO annual... view more...
