3-D doppler ultrasound helps identify breast cancer
Three-dimensional (3-D) power Doppler ultrasound helps radiologists distinguish between malignant and benign breast masses, according to a new study being published in the November issue of Radiology. view more (2008-10-21)
Technique could speed new medulloblastoma drugs
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have developed a strategy to speed future development of more effective and less toxic treatments for medulloblastoma, a type of brain cancer. view more (2006-04-18)
Study shows radiofrequency ablation highly effective in treating kidney tumors
A relatively new, minimally invasive treatment was 100 percent successful in eradicating small malignant kidney tumors in a study of more than 100 patients, report researchers from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. view more (2007-08-01)
Exercise may lead to faster prostate tumor growth
Prostate tumors grew more quickly in mice who exercised than in those who did not, leading to speculation that exercise may increase blood flow to tumors, according to a new study by researchers in the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center (DCCC) and the Duke Prostate Center. view more (2008-04-14)
Study Finds Needle Biopsies Safe in 'Eloquent' Areas of Brain
After a review of 284 cases, specialists at the Brain Tumor Center at the University of Cincinnati (UC) Neuroscience Institute have concluded that performing a stereotactic needle biopsy in an area of the brain associated with language or other important functions carries no greater risk than a similar biopsy in a less critical area of the brain. view more (2009-06-04)
The Largest Congress Worldwide on Ion Therapy in Heidelberg
The largest congress worldwide on the topic of particle or ion therapy - radiation with heavy ions and protons - has taken place in the fall of 2009 in Heidelberg. view more (2009-10-27)
Extra copies of EGFR gene signal poor prognosis for vulvar cancer
A genetic fingerprint identified in patients with a gynecologic cancer may reveal candidates for targeted therapy. view more (2008-10-01)
Mayo Clinic study shows drug could effectively treat, prevent the spread of breast cancer
A Mayo Clinic study of a drug that has shown promise in treating sarcoma, lung and brain cancers, demonstrates that the drug may also be effective in treating breast cancer, in particular the spread of breast cancer. view more (2007-11-01)
Cell pathway on overdrive prevents cancer response to dietary restriction
Whitehead Institute researchers have pinpointed a cellular pathway that determines whether cancerous tumors are susceptible to dietary restriction during their development. view more (2009-03-12)
St. Jude identifies the specific cell that causes eye cancer, disproving long-held theory
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have identified the cell that gives rise to the eye cancer retinoblastoma, disproving a long-standing principle of nerve growth and development. view more (2007-10-19)
Resistance to chemotherapy in lung cancer, optimizing flu vaccination strategies
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide, in part because these tumors often are or become resistant to chemotherapy. view more (2006-10-03)
Rate of secondary cancers increases over years after treatment for childhood leukemia
Survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia have a significantly increased risk of secondary cancers developing over 30 years after leukemia treatment when compared to the general population. view more (2007-03-21)
Dangerous glucose-hungry cervical tumors can be detected using PET scans
Cervical cancers that take up a lot of blood sugar, or glucose, are more resistant to treatment than those that are less glucose-hungry, according to research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2006-03-31)
Gene thought to assist chemo may help cancer thrive
A gene thought to be essential in helping chemotherapy kill cancer cells, may actually help them thrive. view more (2007-05-16)
U-M researchers identify stem cells in pancreatic cancer
University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have discovered the small number of cells in pancreatic cancer that are capable of fueling the tumor's growth. The finding is the first identification of cancer stem cells in pancreatic tumors. view more (2007-02-01)
Extract of broccoli sprouts may protect against bladder cancer
A concentrated extract of freeze dried broccoli sprouts cut development of bladder tumors in an animal model by more than half, according to a report in the March 1 issue of Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. view more (2008-02-28)
PET scans track small tumors after stereotactic body radiotherapy
Readily available CT screening for lung cancer is increasing the discovery of small, primary lung cancers. For many, a radiation technique called stereotactic body radiotherapy presents a less invasive treatment option to surgery that is typically offered to non-surgical candidates. view more (2007-10-29)
Blue light used to harden tooth fillings stunts tumor growth
A blue curing light used to harden dental fillings also may stunt tumor growth, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2008-06-25)
Analysis of breast and colon cancer genes finds many areas of differences between tumors
Researchers from University Hospitals (UH) Ireland Cancer Center and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine are part of a new national study that has analyzed more than 18,000 genes, including 5,000 previously unmapped genes, from breast and colorectal tumors. view more (2007-10-12)
Computer obeys thoughts via Brain-Computer Interface
A research group led by Academy Professor Mikko Sams is developing a brain-computer interface, a device that transforms electrical or magnetic brain signals into commands a computer can understand. Equipment of this kind is necessary. For instance, it enables physically disabled persons to use a computer keyboard. The Brain-Computer Interface, or... view more... (2005-03-02)
