NSAIDs: Painkillers, inflammation inhibitors, anti-cancer drugs and new de-methylating agents
Researchers at the National Sun Yat-Sen University and Kaohsiung Medical University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan have revealed a new mechanism by which nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) attenuate tumor invasion and metastasis.   view more (2008-03-27)

Antibiotics: Single largest class of drugs causing liver injury
Antibiotics are the single largest class of agents that cause idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI), reports a new study in Gastroenterology, an official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute.   view more (2008-12-01)

Study proposes new theory of how viruses may contribute to cancer
A new study suggests that viruses may contribute to cancer by causing excessive death to normal cells while promoting the growth of surviving cells with cancerous traits.   view more (2007-10-24)

Broccoli sprout-derived extract protects against ultraviolet radiation
A team of Johns Hopkins scientists reports in this week's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that humans can be protected against the damaging effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation - the most abundant cancer-causing agent in our environment - by topical application of an... view more (2007-10-23)

A new therapeutic option for human hepatocyte cancer
p53-impaired tumors may be particularly suitable to parvovirus H-1-induced therapy. Although the p53 deficiency in tumors may induce resistance to chemotherapeutic agents, this will not affect the tumor cell susceptibility to H-1 PV-induced oncolytic infections.   view more (2008-09-24)

Enhancing chemotherapy's efficacy: new agent has synergistic effect with standard drugs
Integrating the use of drugs targeted to specific cancer proteins into current chemotherapy regimens to improve the efficacy of systemic treatment is an important clinical goal at Fox Chase Cancer Center.   view more (2007-04-16)

Can pomegranates prevent prostate cancer? A new study offers promise
The juice of the pomegranate, say researchers at University of Wisconsin Medical School, shows major promise to combat prostate cancer-the most common invasive cancer and the second-leading cause of cancer death in American men.   view more (2005-09-27)

Antibiotic inhibits cancer gene activity
A little-known antibiotic shows early promise as an anti-cancer agent, inhibiting a gene found at higher-than-normal levels in most human tumors.   view more (2006-10-02)

Carcinogens from parents' tobacco smoke found in their babies' urine
When mom or dad puffs on a cigarette, their infants may inhale the resulting second-hand smoke. Now, scientists have detected cancer-causing chemicals associated with tobacco smoke in the urine of nearly half the babies of smoking parents.   view more (2006-05-12)

Mayo Clinic researchers enhance safety and effectiveness of therapeutic virus that fights cancer
Mayo Clinic researchers working with colleagues in Germany have devised a much-needed multilevel safety feature for viruses used to treat cancer.   view more (2006-08-01)

A potential sugar fix for tumors
Researchers at the Duke School of Medicine apparently have solved the riddle of why cancer cells like sugar so much, and it may be a mechanism that could lead to better cancer treatments.   view more (2008-04-16)

Bleeding during endoscopy: Do anti-inflammatories play a role?
Does an aspirin-a-day increase the risk of bleeding during invasive diagnostic procedure? This is an important concern for many patients who take these and other antiplatelet agents in an effort to reduce heart attacks or strokes.   view more (2007-03-16)

Study suggests newer breast cancer drug may protect heart
By uncovering how one breast cancer drug protects the heart and another does not, Duke University Medical Center researchers believe they may have opened up a new way to screen drugs for possible heart-related side effects and to develop new drugs.   view more (2007-06-11)

New gene silencing therapy for cervical cancer
Researchers at The University of Queensland's (UQ) Centre for Immunology and Cancer Research (CICR), based at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, have pioneered a new approach for the treatment of cervical cancer.   view more (2005-11-17)

Mayo Clinic studies find association between acid reflux and esophageal cancer
Two new Mayo Clinic studies draw attention to the risk factors and possible genetic basis for Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer (adenocarcinoma).   view more (2006-05-24)

Genetic double-agents unmasked
Babraham Institute and Cancer Research UK scientists have discovered that certain enzymes with a key activity in the immune system may be important in stem-cell development, but may also work against us by contributing to the occurrence of cancer.   view more (2004-10-26)

Reining in cancer - first laboratory study to show that combining novel targeted therapiesmay keep cancer cells under control
A team of Italian researchers has demonstrated in the laboratory for the first time that combining two of the newest anti-cancer targeted agents may produce a powerful new combination against breast cancer - and possibly many other cancers as well. Their findings are reported (Thursday 24 January)... view more (2002-01-21)

Serendipity versus planning-cancer drugs of the future?
Delegates at the European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC-5) were given two examples of promising new drugs to watch in the future-raloxifene and lapatinib.   view more (2006-03-27)

Researcher working on destruction of chemical weapons
America's war on terror includes fighting the dark side of deadly chemical agents, and Texas A&M University chemist Dr. Frank Raushel is helping with the fight by developing an enzyme that might neutralize one such chemical agent, the organophosphates.   view more (2008-09-25)

A new approach to prevent cancer
Scientists at the University of Dundee have identified a way of inactivating a naturally occurring human protein, a development which could offer new routes to developing cancer prevention treatments.   view more (2005-05-10)

A new way to look at lung cancer and tobacco carcinogens
Two types of cancer-causing agents in cigarettes-a nicotine-derived chemical and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the main culprits in lung cancer. Exposure to tobacco smoke - both mainstream and second-hand - is a leading cause of cancer death in the United States.   view more (2008-05-29)

UQ scientists break new ground in fight against infection & chronic disease
University of Queensland (UQ) researchers are on track to develop new treatments for acute infections, chronic inflammatory diseases and cancer.   view more (2005-11-30)

Tummy Bug Puzzle Unravelled
The bacterium, Helicobacter pylori, which infects the stomach, causes duodenal ulcer disease and is thought to cause stomach cancer. The question of why the bacteria are only found in the stomach has puzzled scientists for many years. Researchers at the Conway Institute and the Children's Research... view more (2004-05-11)

Looking through the eyes of a mouse, scientists monitor circulating cells in its bloodstream
A team of researchers from the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School (HMS) have developed an optical device that allows them to peer through the eyes of a mouse and monitor the cells passing through its bloodstream.   view more (2007-12-04)
