Manchester researchers announce new methods of beating breast cancer
University of Manchester researchers will reveal new ways of controlling and treating breast cancer at the National Cancer Research Institute conference in Birmingham today (Monday 1 October 2007). view more (2007-10-02)
Hopkins scientists find cells responsible for bladder cancer's spread
Johns Hopkins scientists have tracked down a powerful set of cells in bladder tumors that seem to be primarily responsible for the cancer's growth and spread using a technique that takes advantage of similarities between tumor and organ growth. view more (2009-08-07)
Jefferson scientists show gene reverts cancer genes to normal, predicts breast cancer prognosis
Scientists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have shown that the activity of a gene that commandeers other cancer-causing genes, returning them to normal, can predict the prognosis of an individual with breast cancer. view more (2006-11-01)
Unlocking the body's defenses against cancer
Scientists have discovered a way of allowing healthy cells to take charge of cancerous cells and stop them developing into tumours in what could provide a new approach to treating early-stage cancers. view more (2009-08-26)
Researchers say estrogen can kill breast cancer cells once fueled by the hormone
Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers say some breast cancer cells once fueled by estrogen can be killed by the same hormone. view more (2005-12-07)
Researchers identify key gene that may be a marker of breast cancer metastasis
Researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center have identified an important gene involved in the spread of breast cancer that has developed resistance to long-term estrogen deprivation. view more (2007-04-19)
New link between estrogen and breast cancer
The female sex hormone estrogen turns on a gene linked to breast cancer, according to new research by Brisbane scientists. view more (2007-08-27)
Improving understanding of cell behaviour in breast cancer
The invasion and spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body, known as metastasis, is a principal cause of death in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. view more (2008-07-16)
Tracking the spread of cancer cells - Photon02
Not much is known about how clustered cancer cells move, but it is important to understand how individual cancer cells break off from a cluster and spread throughout the human body. A research collaboration between the University of Wales College of Medicine and Kingston University * has lead to the development of a computational imaging technique... view more... (2002-08-28)
Iron induces death in tumor cells
Rapid growth of cancer cells and their frequent divisions have their price: Cancer cells need considerably more energy than healthy cells. view more (2009-03-11)
No cell walls, no new cancer cells
Cancer cells, like houses, need building materials for their walls. And as with a house, the cell wall needs to be built at just the right moment to protect and allow the construction of internal components. view more (2006-08-02)
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)
Paradoxical protein might prevent cancer
One difficulty with fighting cancer cells is that they are similar in many respects to the body's stem cells. By focusing on the differences, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have found a new way of tackling colon cancer. The study is presented in the prestigious journal Cell. view more (2009-11-16)
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)
Stem cells may solve mystery of early pregnancy breast cancer protection
The answer to why an early pregnancy seems to protect against breast cancer could rest with a decrease in stem cells found after animals have given birth, said researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in a report that appears in the current issue of the journal Stem Cell. view more (2008-09-17)
Helicobacter pylori inhibits intercellular communication of cultured gastric cells
The formation of a cancer is proven to be a multi-stage, multi-mechanism process by animal and human studies. As a definite carcinogen, the role of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) in the formation of gastric cancer has been unclear. view more (2007-10-29)
U-M researchers link pathway to breast cancer stem cells
A gene well known to stop or suppress cancer plays a role in cancer stem cells, according to a new study from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. The researchers found that several pathways linked to the gene, called PTEN, also affected the growth of breast cancer stem cells. view more (2009-06-02)
New role for Natural Killers!
Scientists at the University of York have discovered a new role for a population of white blood cells, which may lead to improved treatments for chronic infections and cancer. view more (2008-08-28)
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)
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)
