Can plant research lead to new insights in cancer research?
Ghent - The development of cancer is a complex process with a number of different causes. The root problem is loss of control in the cell division process. A fundamental biological process, cell division can be studied in many organisms. Researchers from the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for... view more (2005-01-10)

Increased Risk of Skin Cancer for Psoriasis Patients
The risk of squamous cell cancer of the skin is increased in patients treated for psoriasis with ciclosporin in addition to photochemotherapy, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of The Lancet. Immunosuppressive treatments such as ciclosporin have been associated with an increased risk... view more (2001-09-26)

A gene for metastasis
Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in the Western world. The tumor starts off as a polyp but then turns into an invasive and violent cancer, which often spreads to the liver.   view more (2007-08-28)

New Understanding Of Role Of Breast Cancer Gene In Normal Function And Disease
Researchers at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Cancer Cell Unit, Cambridge have gained an important new insight into the role of the breast cancer gene known as BRCA2. It appears to have a key function in cell division which needs to happen accurately for normal cell reproduction and repair,... view more (2004-10-28)

A new Eph receptor tyrosine kinase overexpressed in gastric cancer was found
The potential role of Eph receptor and ephrin ligand family in human cancer is receiving increasing attention. Compared with other Eph receptors, EphA4 is distinguished by its ability to bind to both type A ephrins and most type B ephrins.   view more (2008-10-29)

How DDT metabolite disrupts breast cancer cells
Research has shown that the main metabolite of the insecticide DDT could be associated with aggressive breast cancer tumours, but there has been no explanation for this observation to date. Now a report published in the open access journal Breast Cancer Research shows how DDT could act to disrupt... view more (2008-02-14)

UNC researchers find clue to stopping breast-cancer metastasis
If scientists knew exactly what a breast cancer cell needs to spread, then they could stop the most deadly part of the disease: metastasis. New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine takes a step in that direction.   view more (2008-11-18)

Incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancer on the rise among young adults
A new study from Minnesota finds the incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancer increasing among men and women under the age of 40, according to an article in the August 10 issue of JAMA.   view more (2005-08-10)

Gene may hold key to future cancer hope
Scientists may have discovered a new way of killing tumours in what they hope could one day lead to alternative forms of cancer treatments.   view more (2007-10-09)

Jefferson researchers uncover genetic signature that predicts colon cancer
Researchers at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia have uncovered a genetic "signature" that accurately identifies colon cancer-a key, they hope, to better understand how the cancer develops.   view more (2006-04-05)

Tumor response may not be best measure of efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer treatment
Researchers typically evaluate the effectiveness of a new cancer treatment by looking at how tumors respond to it. But in the case of advanced non-small cell lung cancer, there may be a better way to assess effectiveness.   view more (2006-06-06)

U of MN researchers use human embryonic stem cells to kill cancer cells
For the first time, stem cell researchers at the University of Minnesota have coaxed human embryonic stem cells to create cancer-killing cells in the laboratory, paving the way for future treatments for various types of cancers (or tumors).   view more (2005-10-12)

Building stronger bones, 1 stem cell at a time
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are bone marrow-derived cells that are capable of giving rise to various cell types through a process known as differentiation.   view more (2008-01-25)

Women smokers have higher risk of lung cancer than men smokers, though lower lung cancer death rate
Women who smoke appear to be more susceptible to lung cancer than men who smoke, though women smokers have a lower rate of lung cancer-related death.   view more (2006-07-12)

To evade chemotherapy, some cancer cells mimic stem cells
Anti-cancer treatments often effectively shrink the size of tumors, but some might have an opposite effect, actually expanding the small population of cancer stem cells believed to drive the disease, according to findings presented today in Atlanta, Georgia at the American Association for Cancer... view more (2007-09-20)

New genetic techniques to combat lung cancer
New results on genetic techniques that are helping doctors diagnose and treat lung cancer were released today at the 1st European Lung Cancer Conference jointly organized by the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) and the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) in... view more (2008-04-28)

Cell research signals cancer hope
Scientists have moved a step closer to understanding what happens when cells receive a faulty signal that is known to be a cause of cancer.   view more (2005-02-03)

In 'Spontaneous' Liver Cancer, Researcher Sees a Cure
Adding more good news to last week's announcement that Nexavar® (sorafenib) may be the first effective treatment for advanced liver cancer, researchers at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University have uncovered a new molecular mechanism that may... view more (2007-06-20)

A mutation that causes resistence to chemotherapy treatment of lung cancer has been discovered
Lung cancer, mainly caused by tobacco and inhaling radon gas, is the most lethal cancer in the western world. In Spain alone this disease causes around 15,000 deaths each year.   view more (1999-09-27)

Chemotherapy can be more toxic to brain cells than to cancer cells and may cause brain damage
Drugs used to treat cancer may damage normal, healthy brain cells more than the cancer cells they are meant to target.   view more (2006-11-30)

Why cisplatin kills breast cancer cells when other drugs fail
The cancerous cells of some individuals with breast cancer lack expression of two cell surface proteins, the estrogen and progesterone receptors, and do not express increased amounts of HER2.   view more (2007-04-20)

Multicenter study nets new lung tumor-suppressor gene
Collaborating scientists in Boston and North Carolina have found that a particular gene can block key steps of the lung cancer process in mice.   view more (2007-08-06)

UCLA researchers identify leukemia stem cells
Stem cell researchers at UCLA have identified a type of leukemia stem cell and uncovered the molecular and genetic mechanisms that cause a normal blood stem cells to become cancerous.   view more (2008-05-27)

Cancer stem cells can go it alone
At the heart of most, if not all cancers, lie a handful of wayward stem cells that feed the ever growing tumor mass, but their scarcity make it difficult for scientists to study them.   view more (2007-06-12)

Short chromosomes put cancer cells in forced rest
A Johns Hopkins team has stopped in its tracks a form of blood cancer in mice by engineering and inactivating an enzyme, telomerase, thereby shortening the ends of chromosomes, called telomeres.   view more (2007-04-26)
