Convincing results: Stopping the spread of cancer in the body
A team of Danish researchers have discovered that by blocking a specific enzyme, it is possible to check the spread of cancer in the body. This finding may be the first step towards preventing deaths due to cancer spreading to other parts of the body. The discovery may also help reduce the amount of chemotherapy used.   view more (2004-11-22)

Smoking During Adolescence Could Increase The Risk Of Breast Cancer (pp 1033, 1044)
Authors of a Canadian study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight the varying effects of smoking on the risk of breast cancer-adolescent women who smoke could be at an increased risk of breast cancer later in life compared with non-smokers. One in nine women in the UK have a lifetime risk of breast cancer, with a similar proportion for... view more... (2002-10-02)

Prodrug could help curb skin toxicity related to EGFR-inhibiting cancer drugs
There may be a way around the harsh skin toxicity associated with a widely used cancer drug, according to a study published online this week in Cancer Biology and Therapy by researchers from City of Hope and the Kimmel Cancer at Jefferson.    view more (2009-09-02)

Bacterium that may cause cancer is identified
A University of Sheffield scientist has isolated a bacterium that may cause cancers in those with a genetic pre-disposition to the disease. Dr Milton Wainwright, of the University's Molecular Biology and Biotechnology department, researched historical literature and found that, as early as the 1890s, bacteria were believed to cause cancer.... view more...
