Study shows combination of immune substances to be safe
New research has shown that the immune-stimulating hormone known as interleukin-12 (IL-12) can safely be administered with interferon, another immune-system protein, as an experimental therapy for some cancers. view more (2005-12-12)
New type of drug shrinks primary breast cancer tumors significantly in just 6 weeks
A drug that targets the cell surface receptors that play an important role in many types of cancer can bring about significant tumour regression in breast cancer after only six weeks of use. view more (2008-04-17)
U-M researchers discover gene switched off in cancer can be turned on
A gene implicated in the development of cancer cells can be switched on using drugs, report researchers from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. view more (2007-06-12)
UCLA researchers develop new nanomaterials to deliver anti-cancer drugs to cells
Researchers at UCLA have successfully manipulated nanomaterials to create a new drug-delivery system that promises to solve the challenge of the poor water solubility of today's most promising anticancer drugs and thereby increase their effectiveness. view more (2007-06-08)
Acrylamide not linked to breast cancer in US women, study finds
Foods that contain acrylamide are unlikely to cause breast cancer in women, according to preliminary results of a new study involving 100,000 U.S. women. view more (2007-08-22)
Mouth may tell the tale of lung damage caused by smoking
Cells lining the mouth reflect the molecular damage that smoking does to the lining of the lungs, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report today at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research. view more (2008-04-14)
Prostate cancer: Watchful wait or vaccinate?
Researchers at the University of Southern California have developed a prostate cancer vaccine that prevented the development of cancer in 90 percent of young mice genetically predestined to develop the disease. view more (2008-02-04)
Different type of colon cancer vaccine reduces disease spread, Jefferson scientists show
Taking advantage of the fact that the intestines have a separate immune system from the rest of the body, scientists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson in Philadelphia have found a way to immunize mice against the development of metastatic disease. view more (2008-06-25)
Who gets cancer treatment, and who completes it?
Cancer treatment is now very effective in many cases, yet not all patients with cancer are referred and not all complete their treatment programme. This has puzzled cancer specialists who have wondered if psychological factors might influence their decision and has led to research carried out by Dr Stan Lindsay from the Institute of Psychiatry in... view more...

Urologists report success using robot-assisted surgery for urinary abnormality
Ashok Hemal, M.D., a urologic surgeon from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, and colleagues have reported success using robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery to repair abnormal openings between the bladder and vagina known as fistulas. view more (2008-08-19)
Chemotherapy causes delayed severe neural damage
Cancer treatment with chemotherapeutic agents is often associated with delayed adverse neurological consequences - an occurrence often referred to as "chemobrain" - that may compromise the quality of life of a proportion of cancer survivors. view more (2008-04-22)
UV light improving chances of fighting cancer
Scientists at Newcastle University have developed a cancer fighting technology which uses UV light to activate antibodies which very specifically attack tumours. view more (2007-10-30)
IMRT versus 3D CRT for prostate cancer, new long-term data assesses side effects
New research findings show men have fewer long-term gastrointestinal side effects with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) than with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D CRT) for prostate cancer treatment, despite the higher doses of radiation used in the IMRT group. view more (2006-11-06)
Incontinence in women: No need to keep silent
Incontinence (involuntary loss of urine) is a common problem in women, ultimately affecting up to two-thirds of all women. Yet it is estimated that only 1 in 4 women with symptoms of incontinence will seek help for this problem. view more (2006-11-07)
MRI accurately depicts deep endometriosis
Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiologists may be able to diagnose deep endometriosis and accurately locate lesions prior to surgery, according to a new study published in the online edition of Radiology. view more (2009-07-07)

Scientists design a PSA-activated protoxin that kills prostate cancer
Scientists have found a way of using a protein made by prostate cancer to target and kill the cancer cells themselves. In preliminary studies the new therapy affected only the prostate, without causing damage to other healthy tissues, and now it is being tested in a phase I clinical trial. view more (2006-11-10)
PROSTATE CANCER SERIES (p 859)
A four-week series about prostate cancer-the third most common cancer in men worldwide, and the leading male cancer in Europe and North America-begins in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The first article, by Henrik Grönberg of Umea University, Sweden, assesses the epidemiology of prostate cancer, and examines the impact of genetic and... view more... (2003-03-05)
Papers published online on 14 December by Nature and the Nature Research Journals
NATURE GENETICS(http://www.nature.com/naturegenetics) [1] Mutant gene turns gall bladder into pancreas 10.1038/ng1273 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/ng1273) A new study published in the January issue of Nature Genetics shows that, when a developmental gene switch was removed from experimental mice, what would have developed into a gall bladder... view more...

Family history of breast cancer does not increase risk of womb cancer
A family history of breast cancer does not increase a woman`s chances of developing womb cancer, finds a 20-year study in the Journal of Medical Genetics. Cancers of the lining of the womb (endometrium) and breast share some of the same reproductive, hormonal, and lifestyle risk factors. The evidence for a genetic link between the two types of... view more... (2002-11-01)
