Improved Imaging for Identifying Breast Cancer in Overweight Women
Increasing the ability to identify sentinel nodes—the very first lymph nodes that trap cancer cells draining away from a breast lesion site—has a major impact in the treatment and outcome of breast cancer patients, possibly eliminating the need for unnecessary and painful surgery. view more (2007-02-07)
'The snip' may have irreversible effects on sperm
Scientists call for more research into the long-term effects of vasectomy, as results revealed today(1) suggest that the effects of 'the snip' might not be as "reversible" as previously thought. Work led by Dr Sheena Lewis at Queen's University Belfast on testicular biopsies shows that men who had a vasectomy more than 10 years ago have... view more... (2004-03-30)
Which is promising as therapeutic targets in patients with biliary tract cancer? EGFR or HER2?
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) are involved in the carcinogenesis of many malignancies. view more (2009-10-16)
PET Outperforms CT In Characterization of Benign and Malignant Lung Nodules
Researchers involved in a large, multi-institutional study comparing the accuracy of positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) in the characterization of lung nodules found that PET was far more reliable in detecting whether or not a nodule was malignant. view more (2008-02-07)
Mayo Clinic discovers potential link between celiac disease and cognitive decline
Mayo Clinic researchers have uncovered a new link between celiac disease, a digestive condition triggered by consumption of gluten, and dementia or other forms of cognitive decline. view more (2006-10-10)
Increased role for PET imaging could improve cancer care
A limitation of current cancer care is the difficulty of quickly assessing how well a therapy is working. However, expanding the use of existing positron emission tomography (PET) technology can provide early and accurate assessment of a tumor's response to a particular therapy allowing physicians to better tailor a patient's treatment. view more (2006-02-02)
New Model Developed to Estimate Radiation Skin Doses during CT Guided Interventional Procedures
A new model that would allow interventional radiologists (radiologists who specialize in fine needle aspiration, fine needle biopsy and radiofrequency ablation) to better estimate patient radiation skin doses during CT guided interventional procedures has been developed. view more (2008-11-04)
Fresh use of targeted therapy advances treatment of early HER2-positive breast cancer
The news that the world's first targeted therapy, trastuzumab (Herceptin), is now available for many women with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer "highlights a truly significant advance in the management of breast cancer," says Edith Perez, M.D., director of Mayo Clinic's Breast Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla. view more (2006-11-20)
Cryoablation is a safe procedure for breast cancer patients, early results indicate
Ultrasound-guided cryoablation of small breast cancer may be a safe procedure associated with minimal morbidity and high patient satisfaction. view more (2007-05-07)
Advanced genomics and proteomics improve the diagnosis and treatment of a deadly lung disease
In an article in the Jan. 15 issue of the American Journal of Respiratory Critical Care Medicine, University of Pittsburgh researchers report that a serious, life-threatening form of pulmonary fibrosis, called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, lacks all the hallmarks of inflammation and is probably unnecessarily treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. view more (2006-01-12)
Mammography plus sonography can help rule out breast cancer in patients with palpable lesions
When mammography and sonography are used together to evaluate palpable breast lesions, they can rule out cancers in most patients, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Baystate Health in Springfield, MA. However, uncommonly, malignancies cannot be diagnosed using this imaging protocol. view more (2008-04-14)
Non-invasive diagnostic tools for assessment of function and structure of the stomach mucosa
Risks for gastric cancer or peptic ulcer diseases are low in subjects with healthy stomach mucosa but are remarkably high in those with "diseased" stomach mucosa: i.e., in those with H pylori gastritis or atrophic gastritis. view more (2009-02-23)
Early Promise Of Simple Screening For Coeliac Disease (p 945)
A research letter by Cuban investigators in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights a new technique which could be used for screening of the intestinal disorder coeliac disease. The new approach is likely to be more user-friendly for patients as it is less invasive than conventional screening which relies on biopsy. The enzyme transglutaminase... view more... (2002-03-13)
Results of phase I trial of novel herbal therapy for men at high risk of prostate cancer
Results of a phase I clinical trial of a novel herb-based therapeutic called Zyflamend have demonstrated that the therapy is associated with minimal toxicity and no serious adverse events in men at high-risk for developing prostate cancer. view more (2009-05-26)
Test can predict spread of eye cancer to liver
Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a method to predict whether melanoma of the eye will spread to the liver, where it quickly turns deadly. view more (2006-09-14)
Which is more accurate on diagnosis of rectal carcinoma?
The depth of transmural tumor invasion along the rectal wall layers and involvement of the regional lymph nodes constitute major factors in the prognosis of rectal cancer. view more (2008-09-25)
FibroTest attributes to generate decision trees in hepatitis C
In recent years the use of non-invasive biomarkers to assess liver fibrosis has become widely accepted. view more (2009-06-15)
Microarray provides 3 genomic guides to breast cancer treatment decisions
Three genomic tests separately predict the likelihood that a patient's breast cancer will reoccur after surgery without additional treatment, and the cancer's vulnerability to chemotherapy or hormone therapy. view more (2007-09-07)
Mouse study: Real-time imaging device may improve surgery for congenital colon disease
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center are developing a spectral imaging system that could result in shorter operating times for infants undergoing surgery for Hirschsprung's disease, according to a mouse study reported in the Journal of Biophotonics. view more (2008-02-29)
Study first: Over-expression of Cox-2 can predict prostate cancer outcome
Researchers say an over-expression of COX-2 in men with prostate cancer is associated with an increase in PSA after radiation treatment and the spread of the cancer outside of the prostate. view more (2006-11-09)
