Researchers say estrogen can kill breast cancer cells once fueled by the hormone
Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers say some breast cancer cells once fueled by estrogen can be killed by the same hormone.   view more (2005-12-07)

Gene Test Could Reduce Unnecessary Treatment For Women With Breast Cancer (pp 340, 362)
In this week's issue of THE LANCET, US researchers describe how gene expression profiles could determine whether or not women with breast cancer would respond to docetaxel treatment. Women who are likely to be resistant to the drug could be given alternative treatment. Chemotherapy or hormonal... view more (2003-07-30)

Nutrients in certain vegetables may provide cancer-fighting benefit
Chemicals in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, watercress, cabbage and cauliflower, appear to not only stop human prostate cancer cells from growing in mice but also may cut off the formation of blood vessels that "feed" tumors.   view more (2007-04-18)

Nanocomposite labeled cancer cells can be targeted and destroyed using lasers
A nanocomposite particle can be constructed so that it has a mix of properties that would not otherwise happen in nature. By combining an organic matrix with metallic clusters that can absorb light, it is possible to incorporate such particles into cells and then destroy those targeted cells with a... view more (2007-05-21)

Researchers identify cancer-causing gene in many colon cancers
Demonstrating that despite the large number of cancer-causing genes already identified, many more remain to be found, scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have linked a previously unsuspected gene, CDK8, to colon cancer.   view more (2008-09-15)

VCU Massey Cancer Center and VCU Institute of Molecular Medicine Researchers Publish Findings of a New Chemoprevention Gene Therapy That Kills Pancreatic Cancer Cells
Researchers at the Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center and the VCU Institute of Molecular Medicine have published findings that implicate a new chemoprevention gene therapy (CGT) for preventing and treating pancreatic cancer, one of the most lethal and treatment-resistant forms of... view more (2008-08-06)

Henry Ford Hospital expands research on gene and radiation therapy for prostate cancer
Henry Ford Hospital is embarking on an expanded major clinical trial involving the use of gene therapy in combination with radiation therapy, to determine if the combined treatment is more effective than radiation therapy alone for patients with intermediate risk prostate cancer.   view more (2008-02-07)

Study Examines Role of Helicobacter Pylori in Esophageal Cancer Development
Infection with bacteria that can cause peptic ulcers and distal stomach cancer may be associated with a reduced risk of a type of esophageal cancer called adenocarcinoma, according to a study in the March 3 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. However, that same study found that... view more (2004-03-03)

Ireland Cancer Center researchers advance lung cancer treatment
Researchers at the Ireland Cancer Center of University Hospitals Case Medical Center have developed methods for treating lung cancer cells that have become resistant to new anti-cancer agents.   view more (2007-04-24)

Defects in critical gene lead to accelerated lung tumor growth
Cancer causing mutations occur in our bodies every day - but luckily, we have specific genes that recognize these malignant events and keep cells from growing out of control. Only a few of these genes - called tumor suppressors - are currently known.   view more (2007-08-06)

AUA releases new guidelines on non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
The AUA is pleased to announce their new Guideline on the Management of Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Cancer. Each year, more than 60,000 people are diagnosed with bladder cancer, which has been linked to a number of risk factors, including cigarette smoking and exposure to hazardous chemicals.   view more (2007-11-12)

UCLA discovery will aid in treatment of patients with a deadly brain cancer
Researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer have identified key characteristics in certain deadly brain tumors that make them 51 times more likely to respond to a specific class of drugs than tumors in which the molecular signature is absent.   view more (2005-11-10)

Phase II study of therapeutic vaccine shows efficacy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer
A therapeutic cancer vaccine has shown effectiveness when given alongside chemotherapy to patients with metastatic colorectal cancer in a phase II trial, according to researchers at Oxford BioMedica (UK) Ltd.   view more (2007-08-02)

Prostate cancer screening creates new dilemma for men, says professor
Between 70 and 80 per cent of prostate cancer was now being diagnosed at a stage where it may be curable, a press conference at ECCO 11 - The European Cancer Conference in Lisbon heard today (Wednesday, October 23, 2001). "We used to have a situation in which one of every two patients... view more (2001-10-23)

New protein target may advance design of HIV and cancer drugs
Using small molecules containing platinum, Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center researchers have created a process to inhibit a class of proteins important in HIV and cancer.   view more (2006-05-31)

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)

New tool to speed cancer therapy approval available
Although cancer remains a leading cause of death in America, it can take up to 12 years to bring a new anti-cancer agent before the FDA and the success rate for approval is only five to 10 percent. That means many research hours and dollars are wasted chasing avenues that will not bring fruit.   view more (2008-09-15)

New Diagnostic Faecal Test Could Identify Colorectal Cancer (p 1917)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describe a new technique where the detection of a specific protein in faeces could be a marker for colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is a common disease (causing around 500,000 deaths each year worldwide), and screening methods that... view more (2002-05-29)

Bits of 'junk' RNA aid master tumor-suppressor gene
Little-known bits of RNA help master tumor-suppressor gene do its job, U-M cancer researchers find. Three micro RNA genes appear to be key partners of protective gene p53; their loss is linked to common type of lung cancer.   view more (2007-08-24)

Some antidepressants associated with gastrointestinal bleeding
A class of antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) appear to be associated with bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract.   view more (2008-07-08)

Skin flaps deliver cancer-fighting therapy, ASPS study reveals
Using gene therapy, plastic surgeons have delivered cancer fighting proteins through skin flaps placed on cancerous tumors on rats with a 79 percent reduction in tumor volume.   view more (2008-05-09)

Bilberry extract -- can it help prevent certain cancers?
A Leicester cancer research project, which receives funding from Hope Against Cancer (formerly The Hope Foundation,) is investigating whether an extract from bilberries can prevent or delay the onset of certain cancers.   view more (2007-10-04)

European league-tables for antibiotic resistance revealed
Tests of antibiotic resistance in cattle have revealed stark variation across thirteen European countries. The results, published today in BioMed Central's open-access journal Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, show that major differences were apparent in the occurrence of resistance between countries... view more (2008-07-08)
