Scientists identify pancreatic cancer stem cells
Researchers at the University of Michigan Medical Center have, for the first time, identified human pancreatic cancer stem cells. Their work indicates that these cells are likely responsible for the aggressive tumor growth, progression, and metastasis that define this deadly cancer. view more (2007-02-01)
Inside job: new radioactive agents for colon cancer work inside cells
Johns Hopkins scientists have developed a potentially novel way to fight colorectal cancer using tiny molecules to deliver potent barrages of radiation inside cancer cells, unlike current treatments that bind to the surface of cells and attack from the outside and cause unwanted side effects. view more (2007-10-10)
Breast cancer : Discovery of a new tumor marker
At the Curie Institute in Paris, CNRS researchers have discovered a new proliferation marker : the CAF-1 complex. Since deregulated cell proliferation is one of the most characteristic features of tumor cells, this discovery represents a breakthrough in the cancer field. The researchers from the Curie Institute have already validated the use of... view more... (2004-03-30)
Molecular marker identifies normal stem cells as intestinal tumor source
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have answered a central question in cancer biology: whether normal stem cells can give rise to tumors. view more (2008-12-18)
Lung cancer: Molecular scissors determine therapy effectiveness
In the past few years, a number of anti-cancer drugs have been developed which are directed selectively against specific key molecules of tumor cells. view more (2009-03-17)
Popular herbal supplement hinders the growth of pancreatic cancer cells
A new study from the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute suggests that a commonly used herbal supplement, triphala, has cancer-fighting properties that prevent or slow the growth of pancreatic cancer tumors implanted in mice. view more (2007-04-18)
Study identifies new tumor suppressor
A protein called HLJ1 may work as a novel tumor suppressor in non-small-cell lung carcinoma. view more (2006-06-21)
SSX, a new family of cancer vaccine targets
Scientists from the Cancer Vaccine Collaborative (CVC) have discovered that the cancer-specific protein, SSX-2, induces a spontaneous immunological reaction against cancer cells in melanoma patients, offering a new target for the development of a therapeutic melanoma vaccine. SSX-2 is the prototype of the SSX family, and is part of a larger group... view more... (2004-04-01)
Mechanism in cells that generate malignant brain tumors may offer target for gene therapy
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute who first isolated cancer stem cells in adult brain tumors in 2004 have now identified a molecular mechanism that is involved in the development of these cells from which malignant brain tumors may originate. view more (2008-10-27)
1 gene that contributes to breast cancer's aggressive behavior identified
Aggressive forms of cancer are often driven by the abnormal over-expression of cancer-promoting genes, also known as oncogenes. view more (2009-07-21)
New gene discovery that stops skin cancer in its tracks
Tumour Suppressor Genes (TSGs) are important in controlling the growth of cells. Cancer is caused when cells multiply uncontrollably, so the TSGs play a vital role in stopping healthy cells from becoming cancerous. Experts already know that one particular TSG called P16 is able to stop the growth of cells in the most aggressive form of skin cancer... view more... (1999-02-22)
Blocking protein kills prostate cancer cells, inhibits tumor growth, Jefferson scientists find
Researchers at Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia have shown that they can effectively kill prostate cancer cells in both the laboratory and in experimental animal models by blocking a signaling protein that is key to the cancer's growth. view more (2008-02-28)
Study reveals mechanism for cancer-drug resistance
Using the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered a mechanism by which cancer cells become resistant to a specific class of drugs. view more (2006-10-10)
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)
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)
Mass. General study finds potential ovarian cancer stem cells
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers have identified potential ovarian cancer stem cells, which may be behind the difficulty of treating these tumors with standard chemotherapy. view more (2006-07-24)
Mayo Clinic researchers enhance safety and effectiveness of therapeutic virus that fights cancer
Mayo Clinic researchers working with colleagues in Germany have devised a much-needed multilevel safety feature for viruses used to treat cancer. view more (2006-08-01)
When cancer cells can't let go
Like a climber scaling a rock face, a migrating cancer cell has to keep a tight grip on the surface but also let go at the right moment to move ahead. view more (2009-04-14)
NC State Researchers Find Soy May Aid in Treating Canine Cancers
Researchers at North Carolina State University are looking to soy as a way to make traditional canine cancer therapy more effective, less stressful for the dog and less costly for the owners. view more (2009-04-09)
Modified gene targets cancer cells a thousand times more often than healthy cells
Researchers at the University of Rochester have designed a gene that produces a thousand times more protein in cancer cells than in healthy cells. view more (2008-12-18)
