Model for cancer cure
The outcome for some cancer patients can now be predicted much earlier by making the right choice of treatment based on a mathematical model rather than the current life-table method, which has been in use for over 20 years, according to research published today in the Institute of Physics Journal Physics in Medicine & Biology. The paper`s... view more... (2002-10-23)
Cancer in Sweden--three national studies show the importance of where people grow up
Scientists at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, have compared the incidence of cancer in first- and second-generation immigrants in Sweden. The results clearly indicate that life-style factors during childhood and adolescence have a decisive impact on the risk of contracting cancer later in life. The findings are presented in three scientific... view more... (2002-04-24)
Helicobacter pylori inhibits intercellular communication of cultured gastric cells
The formation of a cancer is proven to be a multi-stage, multi-mechanism process by animal and human studies. As a definite carcinogen, the role of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) in the formation of gastric cancer has been unclear. view more (2007-10-29)
Surgeons successfully remove gall bladder without outer incisions
French surgeons successfully removed a woman's gall bladder through her vagina, according to a report in the September issue of Archives of Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2007-09-18)
Bacteria that cause urinary tract infections invade bladder cells
Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found definitive proof that some of the bacteria that plague women with urinary tract infections (UTIs) are entrenched inside human bladder cells. view more (2007-12-18)
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 survival experience of cancer patients whose... view more... (2002-10-09)
DKK-3 and WIF-1: Proteins related to liver cancer development?

Genetic Variants Predict Recurrence of Bladder Cancer, Patient Survival
Scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have discovered genetic variations in the inflammation pathway that reduce the likelihood of recurrence and increase survival of patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who are treated with mainstream therapy. view more (2009-04-21)
Towards predicting late-stage radiation toxicity
Radiation is a brutal and in many cases necessary part of cancer therapy. More 50% of cancer patients receive radiotherapy as part of their treatment, and many experience concurrent negative side effects. view more (2006-10-31)
Link found between muscle damage during childbirth, condition causing fallen bladder, uterus
An increase among women electing to have caesarean sections in recent years has been due in large part to a concern that giving birth vaginally will lead to a fallen bladder and uterus in later life, and the issue has been hotly debated in the medical community. view more (2007-01-31)
Biomarker predicts malignancy potential of HG-PIN lesions in the prostate
Men whose prostate cancer screenings show high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HG-PIN) may find themselves in limbo, "stuck" between diagnoses - they are told prostate cancer has not yet developed, but it might, and they are advised to undergo repeated needle biopsies as a precaution. view more (2008-05-01)
Botox: Its not just for wrinkles anymore
When researchers at the Chang Gung University Medical College, Taiwan and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine injected botulinum toxin A, or Botox, into the prostate gland of men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition commonly referred to as enlarged prostate, they found that it eased symptoms and improved quality of life. view more (2006-05-24)
Surgeons perform world's first pediatric robotic bladder reconstruction
A 10-year-old Chicago girl born with an abnormally small bladder that made her incontinent has become the first patient to benefit from a new robotic-assisted bladder-reconstruction method developed by surgeons at the University of Chicago Medical Center. view more (2008-11-20)
Delayed neurological development contributes to night-time bedwetting in some children
Night-time bedwetting in some children is likely to be caused by delayed neurological development, finds research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. This can be predicted by a drawing test, shows the research. Thirty four children aged between 7 years and 13 were studied. They all wet the bed at least four times a week. The children were... view more... (2002-08-20)
UAB Study Shows Drug May Fight Biliary Cancers
Laboratory studies by University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) researchers have shown that the drug triphendiol (NV-196) causes cell death in pancreatic and bile duct cancer cell lines, slows tumor growth and sensitizes tumors to chemotherapy treatments. view more (2008-04-16)
U-M researchers ID gene involved in pancreatic cancer
Researchers from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a gene that is overexpressed in 90 percent of pancreatic cancers, the most deadly type of cancer. view more (2009-03-03)
Kegel exercises reduce urinary incontinence in women, study confirms
A supervised regimen of Kegel exercises for at least three months was found to be especially effective for stress incontinence. Men also can use Kegel exercises, but were not included in the analysis. view more (2006-02-03)
Inhibitor of novel cancer target, LPAAT-beta, demonstrates selective anti-cancer effects in animal cancer models
Frankfurt, Germany: In a plenary session at the Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics, Dr Jack W. Singer, M.D. and Research Program Chairman of Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (CTI) today (Thursday 21 November) presented data from preclinical studies on a novel cancer target LPAAT-beta[1] in cultured cells and in preliminary animal... view more... (2002-11-17)
Program could ease treatment decisions for prostate cancer patients
A Web-based program that provides prostate cancer patients with information about different treatment approaches may make deciding which path to follow a little easier, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2007-05-16)
