May supplementation of docosahexaenoic acid suppress colon tumor cell growth?
Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of death in Western countries. The role of n-3 and n-6 PUFAs in colorectal carcinoma cell growth has not been well studied. It is known that PGE2, generated from AA, is an important factor in the tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer.   view more (2009-03-09)

A potential sugar fix for tumors
Researchers at the Duke School of Medicine apparently have solved the riddle of why cancer cells like sugar so much, and it may be a mechanism that could lead to better cancer treatments.   view more (2008-04-16)

A tumor suppressor that promotes cancer cell growth?
Researchers have shown that the tumor suppressor gene H-REV107-1 may actually stimulate tumor progression in some non-small cell lung carcinomas.   view more (2006-10-09)

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)

Genes involved in cell growth and cell division identified
A recent study shows that hundreds of genes contribute to cell growth and cell division. For the first time these genes, many of which are potential contributors to cancer, have been mapped in a single systematic study.   view more (2006-02-23)

Inhibiting cell process may give cancer drug a boost
A molecule that interferes with the internal scaffolding that shapes the cell may kill cancer cells, retard the growth of tumors and give a boost to a common chemotherapy drug.   view more (2006-05-04)

Jefferson researchers uncover new evidence of prolactin's possible role in breast cancer
Scientists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson in Philadelphia have discovered new molecular evidence of the role of the hormone prolactin in breast cancer.   view more (2007-10-01)

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)

Bristol Scientists Discover New Molecule That Could Prevent Tumour Growth
Scientists at Bristol University have discovered a new molecule that could prevent tumour growth. Dr Dave Bates and Dr Steve Harper in the Microvascular Research Laboratories in the Department of Physiology, working in collaboration with clinicians at Southmead Hospital, have discovered a type of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) found in... view more...

UAB Study Shows Drug May Fight Biliary Cancers
Laboratory studies by University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) researchers have shown that the drug triphendiol (NV-196) causes cell death in pancreatic and bile duct cancer cell lines, slows tumor growth and sensitizes tumors to chemotherapy treatments.   view more (2008-04-16)

Cancer stem cells: know thine enemy
Stem cells -- popularly known as a source of biological rejuvenation -- may play harmful roles in the body, specifically in the growth and spread of cancer.   view more (2007-12-26)

Outsmarting cancer - new results from novel enzyme inhibitors
Smart drugs that can break the chain of command between enzymes and the genes involved in cell division and cell death are a new way forward in tackling breast cancer, according to Dr Stephen Johnston, a consultant oncologist from The Royal Marsden Hospital, London, UK. He was speaking at a news briefing on Thursday (21 March) at the 3rd European... view more... (2002-03-19)

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)

Protein That Promotes Cancer Cell Growth Identified
Scientists at Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have found that the Caspase-8 protein, long known to play a major role in promoting programmed cell death (apoptosis), helps relay signals that can cause cancer cells to proliferate, migrate and invade surrounding tissues.   view more (2009-07-27)

Cancer stem cells spur glioma Angiogenesis, could hold key to brain tumor therapy
Stem cell-like glioma cancer cells that share many characteristics with normal stem cells propel the lethal growth of brain cancers by promoting tumor blood vessel formation, and may hold the key to treating these deadly cancers.   view more (2006-08-15)

Med school discovery could lead to better cancer diagnosis, drugs
A Florida State University College of Medicine research team led by Yanchang Wang has discovered an important new layer of regulation in the cell division cycle, which could lead to a greater understanding of the way cancer begins.   view more (2008-11-24)

Cellular molecule spurs growth of prostate cancer
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill scientists have identified a molecule that stimulates the aggressive growth of prostate cancer.   view more (2005-11-29)

Experimental anti-cancer synthetic molecule targets tumor cell growth and angiogenesis
A recent study conducted by three French CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) laboratories describes a new candidate anti-cancer drug, named HB-19.   view more (2008-06-18)

Mayo Clinic researchers discover cancer cells may move via wave stimulation
Mayo Clinic researchers have uncovered a new cellular secret that may explain how certain cancers move and spread - a feature of cancers that makes treatment especially difficult.   view more (2006-04-03)
