Cancer Conundrum Cracked
Cancer researchers at the University of Dundee have just turned a common cancer belief on its head saying that a group of proteins previously believed to cause cancer can also be used in the fight against cancer. Dr Neil Perkins and his team in the School of Life Sciences have identified that NF-kappaB * a group of proteins present in every cell... view more... (2004-03-25)
Potential New Therapeutic Molecular Target to Fight Cancer
Researchers at the Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center have identified the enzyme sphingosine kinase 2 as a possible new therapeutic target to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy for colon and breast cancer. view more (2007-11-02)
Cancer cell communication exposed
The discovery, by scientists at Monash University and the Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York, of how communication between cancer cells is controlled has promised new treatment options for malignant tumours. view more (2005-10-31)
A cancer gene causing tumours by a 'double-whammy' mechanism also reveals the key to a cure
Scientists at the Babraham Institute have discovered that a tiny change in a protein involved in cell survival is responsible for abnormal cell activity in the early stages of cancer. The protein, known as Bcl-xL, normally protects cells from dying; and when the DNA in cells becomes damaged, Bcl-xL is modified so that it no longer keeps the cells... view more... (2004-01-21)
2-drug combination appears safe and active in metastatic kidney cancer
Fox Chase Cancer Center investigators report that a two-drug blockade of mTOR signaling appears safe in metastatic kidney cancer in a phase I trial. view more (2009-06-01)
Hormone mix could cut breast cancer risk and treat symptoms of menopause
The right combination of estrogen and a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), which blocks the effects of estrogen in breast tissue, could relieve menopause symptoms and cut breast cancer risk. view more (2009-10-20)
Ultraviolet B light exposure associated with increased risk of skin cancer
A decreased ability to repair chromosomal damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation in test tubes may be associated with an increased risk of the common skin cancers basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, but not of melanoma. view more (2005-12-21)
New therapeutic target for melanoma identified
A protein called Mcl-1 plays a critical role in melanoma cell resistance to a form of apoptosis called anoikis, according to research published this week in Molecular Cancer Research. view more (2009-04-16)
News from Cancer: Risk factors for deadly form of lymphoma
A new study indicates that the incidence of mantle cell lymphoma, an aggressive type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, is on the rise, most frequently striking men, Caucasians and older individuals. view more (2008-07-07)
History of nonmelanoma skin cancer is associated with increased risk for subsequent malignancies
Individuals with a history of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) are at increased risk for other cancers, according to a study published in the August 26 online issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2008-08-27)
UNC scientists discover cellular 'SOS' signal in response to UV skin damage
New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine has identified two proteins that may help protect against skin cancer. view more (2007-03-19)
Scientists uncover mode of action of enzyme linked with several types of cancer
Scientists at the Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC) of the Université de Montréal have discovered a key mechanism used by cells to efficiently distribute chromosomes to new cells during cell multiplication. view more (2009-06-04)
Advanced therapy offers cure for relapsed cancer patient
Testicular cancer patients who do not respond to traditional therapy can be cured with high-dose chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. view more (2007-07-26)
Counting tumor cells in blood predicts treatment benefit in prostate cancer
Counting the number of tumor cells circulating in the bloodstream of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer can accurately predict how well they are responding to treatment, new results show. view more (2008-07-07)
Gastric cancer with 3 pathological features
Primary carcinoma of the stomach is almost always adenocarcinoma or signet ring cell carcinoma and there are few reports of choriocarcinoma or neuroendocrine cell carcinoma. view more (2008-09-18)
2 heads are better than 1: 2 dysfunctional DNA repair pathways kill tumor cells
Individuals who inherit two mutant copies of any one of about 12 genes that make the proteins of the Fanconi Anemia (FA) pathway develop FA, which is characterized by increased incidence of cancer and bone marrow failure, among other things. view more (2007-04-13)
New role for gene that counteracts formation of tumors
The researchers, connected to Ghent University, have discovered the function of an important mediator involved in suppressing the development of tumors. view more (2005-08-26)
Obesity boosts gullet cancer risk 6-fold
Obese people are six times as likely to develop gullet (oesophageal) cancer as people of 'healthy' weight, shows research published ahead of print in the journal Gut. view more (2007-10-11)
Research reveals molecular pathway behind invasive prostate cancers
University of Cincinnati (UC) cancer and cell biologists have identified a new molecular pathway key to the development of invasive prostate cancers. view more (2009-05-19)
Saliva proteins could help detection of oral cancer
Clinicians could detect oral squamous cell carcinoma, a form of oral cancer, using a simple test that detects proteins in saliva, according to a report in the October 1, 2008, issue of Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. view more (2008-10-01)
