Nerve cells derived from stem cells and transplanted into mice may lead to improved brain treatments
Scientists at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research have, for the first time, genetically programmed embryonic stem (ES) cells to become nerve cells when transplanted into the brain, according to a study published today in The Journal of Neuroscience. view more (2008-06-25)
Small peptide found to stop lung cancer tumor growth in mice
In new animal research done by investigators at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, scientists have discovered a treatment effective in mice at blocking the growth and shrinking the size of lung cancer tumors, one of the leading causes of cancer death in the world. view more (2009-08-27)
Nearly a century later, new findings support Warburg theory of cancer
German scientist Otto H. Warburg's theory on the origin of cancer earned him the Nobel Prize in 1931, but the biochemical basis for his theory remained elusive. view more (2009-01-12)
Researchers find cause of frontotemporal dementia
Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) is the second major form of dementia. view more (2006-07-17)
Cryoablation continues to show good results for kidney cancer patients
A review of 62 Mayo Clinic patients who underwent cryoablation to treat cancerous kidney tumors shows that the patients are cancer free for up to two and a half years after having had the procedure. view more (2007-11-26)
Interactive 3-D Map in OR Can Better Guide Jefferson Neurological Surgeons Through the Brain During Procedure
Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience is one of first medical centers in the U.S. to develop and begin using translational, interactive 3-D technology to map the human brain and help guide neurological surgeons during epilepsy surgery and procedures to remove malignant brain tumors. view more (2007-07-31)
Study identifies another strategy for normalizing tumor blood supply
Manipulating levels of nitric oxide (NO), a gas involved in many biological processes, may improve the disorganized network of blood vessels supplying tumors, potentially improving the effectiveness of radiation and chemotherapy. view more (2008-02-21)
Tumor painting revolutionizes fight against cancer
A tumor paint developed by researchers at Seattle Children's Hospital Research Institute and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center will help surgeons see where a tumor begins and ends more precisely by illuminating the cancerous cells. view more (2007-07-16)
Researchers find how a common genetic mutation makes cancer radiation resistant
Many cancerous tumors possess a genetic mutation that disables a tumor suppressor called PTEN. Now researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have shown why inactivation of PTEN allows tumors to resist radiation therapy. view more (2009-06-10)
Ginkgo biloba extract: More than just for memory?
Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center say they now have a clearer picture of how an extract from the leaves of the Ginkgo biloba tree reduces the risk of aggressive cancer in animal experiments. view more (2006-02-24)
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)
FDG-PET accurate for evaluating lung tumor destruction from radiofrequency ablation
FDG-PET can be used to assess the amount of tumor destruction after radiofrequency ablation (RFA)-the use of heat to destroy tumors-for the treatment of lung tumors and may provide more valuable information than CT alone, according to a new study. view more (2006-05-01)
New insight into the genetics of brain tumor formation
In a G&D paper published online ahead of its April 1 print publication date, Dr. William Kaelin (Dana Farber Cancer Institute) and colleagues identify a potential new neuronal tumor suppressor. view more (2008-03-18)
New Approach for the Treatment of Malignant Brain Tumors
Initial chemotherapy alone after surgery is just as successful as initial radiation therapy for patients from whom a very malignant brain tumor (anaplastic glioma) was removed. With this treatment, the patients survive on average > 30 months without a recurrence. view more (2009-10-01)
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...

Tiny radioactive spheres effectively treat cancer that has spread to the liver
Placing tiny radioactive spheres directly into the liver through its blood supply halted growth of tumors that had spread to the organ in 71 percent of patients tested in a small clinical trial, researchers from Mayo Clinic Jacksonville report. view more (2007-10-30)
Finding Will Improve Accuracy of Cancer Diagnosis
Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) investigators working in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic researchers have determined that two types of kidney tumors previously thought to be different diseases are actually variations of the same disease. view more (2009-04-30)
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)
Dual-imaging technique useful before -- and during -- brain surgery
Brain specialists associated with the Neuroscience Institute at the University of Cincinnati (UC) and University Hospital say the ability to incorporate-in real time-two high-tech imaging tools into the operating room can improve the functional abilities of patients who undergo brain surgery. view more (2007-06-11)
New imaging method shows whether treatment for advanced prostate cancer is working
Researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a new imaging technique that can measure the effectiveness of treatment for prostate cancer that has spread to the bones. The technique involves measuring diffusion of water within tumors. view more (2007-04-16)
