Rates of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma increase over 30 years
The cancer known as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma became substantially more common in the United States between 1973 and 2002, according to a report in the July issue of Archives of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.   view more (2007-07-17)

UCLA researchers identify how antibody blocks prostate cancer growth in animal models
Researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center have uncovered the mechanism by which an antibody blocks the growth of prostate cancer in animal models, a discovery that could pave the way for development of a new molecularly targeted therapy.   view more (2005-10-18)

Linchpin gene may be useful target for new breast cancer therapies
University of Iowa researchers have discovered a gene that plays a linchpin role in the ability of breast cancer cells to respond to estrogen. The finding may lead to improved therapies for hormone-responsive breast cancers and may explain differences in the effectiveness of current treatments.   view more (2007-09-17)

Cancer is a stem cell issue

Paradigm shift: Switch for programmed cell death promotes spread of glioblastoma
Malignant tumors have usually lost their ability to destroy themselves by programmed cell death, or apoptosis. Therefore, tumors are often resistant to chemotherapy or radiation therapy, whose effect is based on forcing tumor cells to commit suicide.   view more (2008-03-12)

Study demonstrates how gene variant may contribute to cancer development
A relatively common cancer susceptibility gene appears to be frequently acquired in metastatic lesions from colorectal cancer, and give cancer cells a growth advantage, according to a study in the October 5 issue of JAMA.   view more (2005-10-05)

An AIDS-related virus reveals more ways to cause cancer, Penn researchers find
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have shed new light on how Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated Herpes Virus (KSHV) subverts normal cell machinery to cause cancer.   view more (2007-10-09)

UC Davis researchers discover genetic switch involved in cells' response to radiation therapy
