Study provides clues to prevent spread of ovarian cancer
A drug that blocks production of an enzyme that enables ovarian cancer to gain a foothold in a new site can slow the spread of the disease and prolong survival in mice, according to a study by researchers from the University of Chicago Medical Center, but only if the drug is given early in the... view more (2008-03-14)

Compounds found in cruciferous vegetables block lung cancer progression
A family of compounds found in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and watercress, blocked lung cancer progression in both animal studies and in tests with human lung cancer cells.   view more (2005-09-15)

The multi-tasking reovirus
In the past couple of years, researchers at Oncolytics Biotech have been developing a harmless virus as a potent cancer killer, but they have also been accumulating data that suggests in addition to directly killing tumor cells, the reovirus may prime the immune system to mount a separate, powerful... view more (2007-02-08)

New type of drug shrinks primary breast cancer tumors significantly in just 6 weeks
A drug that targets the cell surface receptors that play an important role in many types of cancer can bring about significant tumour regression in breast cancer after only six weeks of use.   view more (2008-04-17)

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)

New technique kills cancer virus without harming healthy cells
Major breakthrough could lead to successful treatment of viral cancers, without side-effects. Yorkshire Cancer Research funded researchers at the University of York have made a major cancer breakthrough. Using a new technique called RNA interference, they have successfully killed human cervical... view more (2002-09-03)

Secrets of cellular signaling shed light on new cancer stem cell therapies
By revealing the inner workings of a common cell-to-cell signaling system, University of Michigan biologists have uncovered new clues about mysterious and contentious creatures called cancer stem cells.   view more (2008-04-10)

VCU Massey Cancer Center and VCU Institute of Molecular Medicine Researchers Publish Findings of a New Chemoprevention Gene Therapy That Kills Pancreatic Cancer Cells
Researchers at the Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center and the VCU Institute of Molecular Medicine have published findings that implicate a new chemoprevention gene therapy (CGT) for preventing and treating pancreatic cancer, one of the most lethal and treatment-resistant forms of... view more (2008-08-06)

ew cancer-fighting virus kills invasive brain cells
Researchers funded by The Terry Fox Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society have found that a cancer-fighting virus called VSV kills the most malignant form of brain cancer in mice.   view more (2006-11-01)

Weight loss after gastric bypass surgery may protect against infection and cancer
Another health benefit of bariatric weight-loss surgery may be a heightened immune defense against cancer and infections, a new study suggests. The results will be presented at The Endocrine Society's 90th Annual Meeting in San Francisco.   view more (2008-06-18)

Relationship between environmental stress and cancer elucidated
One way environmental stress causes cancer is by reducing the activity level of an enzyme that causes cell death, researchers say.   view more (2007-11-06)

HtrA1 and resistance to chemotherapy in ovarian and gastric cancers
While many cancer patients initially have a favorable response to chemotherapy for the treatment of solid tumors, resistance to treatment often develops.   view more (2006-06-09)

UBC discovery may lead to 'smart' therapies for breast, ovarian cancer
New non-toxic and targeted therapies for metastatic breast and ovarian cancers may now be possible, thanks to a discovery by a team of researchers at the University of British Columbia.   view more (2007-03-19)

Inflammation markers identify fatigue in breast cancer survivors
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have defined conditions associated with disabling fatigue that persists for years in almost a third of breast cancer survivors, according to a study in the May 1 issue of Clinical Cancer Research.   view more (2006-05-01)

Active compounds found in Ganoderma lucidum fungus with potential to treat prostate cancer
A new development in the fight against cancer: Recent research at the University of Haifa found that molecules found in common fungus Ganoderma lucidum aid in suppressing some of the mechanisms involved in the progression of prostate cancer.   view more (2007-12-12)

Scientific evidence of the significant anti-cancer effect of milk thistle
Recently, scientists demonstrated the anti-cancer effects of silibinin, a major biologically active compound of milk thistle. Being widely used as a folk remedy for liver diseases, milk thistle is safe and well-tolerated, and it protects the liver from drug or alcohol-related injury.   view more (2007-11-15)

Dense tissue promotes aggressive cancers
New research may explain why breast cancer tends to be more aggressive in women with denser breast tissue. Breast cancer cells grown in dense, rigid surroundings step up their invasive activities, Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center investigators report in the Sept. 9 issue of Current Biology.    view more (2008-08-25)

New molecules discovered that block cancer cells from modifying cell DNA
Researchers have discovered new small molecules that may prevent prostate cancer cells from turning off normal genes in a process that transforms normal cells into cancer cells.   view more (2007-10-12)

From diagnostic tool to cancer therapy
Cancer patients could be benefiting more than they realise from diagnostic scans. Research published today in Breast Cancer Research suggests that a radioactive molecule widely used to evaluate advanced tumours can kill cancer cells. Dr Ekaterina Dadachova and her team from the Albert Einstein... view more (2003-08-20)

EARLY PROMISE OF NEW TECHNIQUE TO IDENTIFY BREAST CANCER
The analysis of breast-duct fluid, collected through ductal lavage (washing), could be a novel method for detecting breast-cancer cells when used in conjunction with mammography screening, conclude authors of a fast-track research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. If detected early, breast... view more (2001-04-25)

Researchers track down the genes that could put the brakes on breast cancer.
Normally, old or damaged cells are told to stop dividing and 'self-destruct' to prevent any mutations being duplicated and growing into tumours. But cancer cells usually ignore these messages and become 'immortal' allowing them to continue multiplying indefinitely and out of control. Scientists... view more (1999-02-22)

Genes identified that protect against heart damage from chemotherapy
A series of genes that protect cells from the powerful, common chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin has been identified by researchers working to understand how the drug also can destroy the heart.   view more (2007-12-04)

Cancer-fighting virus shows promise in early clinical trial
A virus that has been specifically designed by scientists to be safe to normal tissue but deadly to cancer is showing early promise in a preliminary study, researchers said today at the ESMO Conference Lugano (ECLU), Switzerland.   view more (2007-07-09)

MU researcher links hormone replacement therapy to breast cancer
Millions of post-menopausal women use hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as a method to reduce symptoms associated with menopause. In a recent University of Missouri study, researchers found that one of the hormones used in HRT, a synthetic progestin, could be a major factor in promoting breast... view more (2008-04-02)

Basis created for directing and filming blood vessels
A new method of filming blood-vessel cells that move in accordance with targeted signals has been developed by researchers at Uppsala University in collaboration with researchers at the University of California.
