Newly identified biomarker detects and regulates spread of brain tumors
Researchers at Emory University's Winship Cancer Institute have identified a novel biomarker for brain tumors and have uncovered a potential role the marker may play when the tumor spreads or comes back after treatment. view more (2006-11-13)
Researchers report benefits of new standard treatment study for rare pediatric brain cancer
A team of researchers led by The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center unveiled results today from the largest-ever collaborative study addressing the treatment of a rare pediatric brain tumor. view more (2009-10-12)
Enhancement of pancreatic cancer on dynamic CT: Does it correlate with angiogenesis and fibrosis?
Prognosis of pancreatic cancer is poor. Recently, it has been clarified that the grade of tumor angiogenesis is a useful prognostic marker in human cancer, including pancreatic cancer. view more (2009-07-16)
Testicular cancer gauge often not used
A standard part of testicular cancer care isn't used in more than half of all patients who have the condition, researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have found. view more (2008-03-18)
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)
Cancer drug can extend survival in patients with deadly brain tumors
Avastin, a relatively new type of drug that shrinks cancerous tumors by cutting off their blood supply, can slow the growth of the most common and deadly form of brain cancer, a pilot study conducted at Duke University Medical Center has found. view more (2007-02-20)
Treating multiple brain tumors with radiosurgery results in improved survival
Treating four or more brain tumors in a single radiosurgery session resulted in improved survival compared to whole brain radiation therapy alone. view more (2005-10-19)
Cancer-killing viruses influence tumor blood-vessel growth
Viruses genetically designed to kill cancer cells offer a promising strategy for treating incurable brain tumors such as glioblastoma, but the body's natural defenses often eliminate the viruses before they can eliminate the tumor. view more (2008-06-11)
DNA variations linked to brain tumors
Mayo Clinic researchers and colleagues at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have found a connection between DNA alterations on human chromosome 9 and aggressive brain cancer known as glioblastoma. view more (2009-07-06)
Researchers study effects of Aricept in pediatric brain cancer survivors
A pediatric oncologist at Brenner Children's Hospital is evaluating whether a drug typically used to treat Alzheimer's patients will help brain cancer survivors avoid the learning and memory problems that are common after radiation therapy. view more (2006-11-06)
Study finds endoscopic brain surgery pioneered in Pittsburgh effective in children with tumors
A first-of-its-kind study published in the February issue of the Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics suggests endoscopic brain surgery, pioneered by surgeons at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, has the potential to be safer and often more effective than conventional surgery in children with life-threatening conditions. view more (2007-02-09)
Targeted virus compels cancer cells to eat themselves
An engineered virus tracks down and infects the most common and deadly form of brain cancer and then kills tumor cells by forcing them to devour themselves, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report this week in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2006-05-03)
Study finds novel vaccine curbs brain tumor growth, increases survival
A novel vaccine has significantly increased life expectancy in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most dangerous type of brain tumor. view more (2006-04-26)
Promising new methods of treatment for fatal abdominal tumor
GIST is a soft-parts tumor that occurs in the abdomen but is distinguishable from gastro-intestinal cancer. Previously, surgery has been the only treatment option since this type of tumor does not respond to either chemotherapy or radiation. Scientists at the Sahlgrenska Academy at Göteborg University have now shown that the prognosis for... view more... (2003-03-17)
Effects of pediatric brain tumors and their treatment haunt survivors for years, study finds
Children who survive brain cancer struggle for years with the malevolent echo of the disease and its treatment, according to a new study from the Stanford University School of Medicine and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. view more (2005-08-19)
Tiny tool to control growing blood vessels opens new potential in tumor research
Researchers at Uppsala University have developed a new tool that makes it possible to study the signals in the body that control the generation of blood vessels. view more (2009-02-23)
A tumor suppressor that promotes cancer cell growth?
Researchers have shown that the tumor suppressor gene H-REV107-1 may actually stimulate tumor progression in some non-small cell lung carcinomas. view more (2006-10-09)
Angiochem crosses BBB, shows safety, efficacy in phase 1/2 brain cancer studies
Angiochem, Inc. a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing drugs that are uniquely capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier to treat brain diseases, announced today that its lead drug candidate, ANG1005, has demonstrated a favorable safety and efficacy profile in more than 100 patients with brain cancer from two separate Phase 1 /2... view more...

7 years without a nose
Patients whose nose has been destroyed by a tumor or injury carry a severe psychological and social burden. Esthetic reconstruction ranges among the most challenging tasks in plastic surgery. view more (2008-11-07)
Salk researchers develop novel glioblastoma mouse model
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have developed a versatile mouse model of glioblastoma-the most common and deadly brain cancer in humans-that closely resembles the development and progression of human brain tumors that arise naturally. view more (2009-01-05)
