New test improves detection of liver cancer
Cancer of the liver is very difficult to detect, and it is a major cause of death in Asia and Africa, with rising incidence in Western countries as well. view more (2007-08-09)
PET-CT highly accurate for detecting ovarian cancer recurrence
The accuracy of PET-CT for detecting recurrent ovarian cancer is high, more accurate even than either CT or PET alone, says a new study by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. view more (2006-05-02)
The Malignancy of Cerebral Tumours could be detected by means of Magnetic Resonance
Magnetic resonance is increasingly being used for the detection of cerebral tumours. Nevertheless, while the technique detects the existence of the tumour it does not enable us to tell whether in the case of malignant tumours the tumour cells are actively proliferating or not. A research team at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona has... view more... (1999-06-04)
Colorectal cancer: Immunological tests for more accurate detection of cancer precursors
A large portion of the almost 73,000 colorectal cancers diagnosed in Germany each year could be avoided. If precancerous lesions - growths of the intestinal mucosa called adenomas - are detected and removed at an early stage, there is a great chance that cancer will not develop at all. view more (2009-02-06)
More kidney cancer is detected and treated early, yet death rate rises
The number of cases of kidney cancer has been rising over the last two decades, and new research from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center shows that this increase is driven largely by the detection of small, presumably curable, kidney masses. view more (2006-09-20)
Men with wives, significant others more likely to be screened for prostate cancer
Although the link between early screening and prostate cancer survival is well established, men are less likely to go for early screening unless they have a wife or significant other living with them. view more (2008-12-08)
Researchers win money to develop breath test to detect breast cancer
One of the biggest problems in fighting breast cancer is the lack of inexpensive, early detection diagnostic tools. view more (2006-04-04)
Drop in cancer deaths tied primarily to gains in behavior and screening
Improvements in behavior and screening have contributed greatly to the 13 percent decline in cancer mortality since 1990, with better cancer treatments playing a supporting role, according to new research from David Cutler of Harvard University. view more (2008-12-03)
What are factors associated with use of gastric cancer screening services in Korea?
The mortality of gastric cancer is decreasing despite the increasing incidence in Korea. This can be explained by surgical technique development and early detection by endoscopic screening or upper gastrointestinal study. view more (2009-08-12)
Prostate cancer gene test provides new early detection
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common male cancers in the Western world. Currently, early detection of PCa depends on an abnormal digital rectal examination and an elevated prostate-specific-antigen (PSA) level requiring a prostate biopsy, often associated with anxiety, discomfort, complications, and heavy expenses. view more (2008-10-17)
The clinical availability of CT colonography
Computed tomographic (CT) colonography allows the visualization of extracolonic organs, thereby permitting the detection of potentially significant pathologies beyond the colon. view more (2009-03-31)
The JRC and CEN/STAR searching for standards
Main objectives of The Strategic Workshop on Pre-normative Research and the Needs for Standards in the of Humanitarian Demining Technologies and Detection of Buried Material, hosted by the JRC-Ispra Site (Province of Varese, Italy) from 3rd to 5th November are: To provide a summary overview of the current state of research and development in... view more...

Technology can't replace doctors' judgment in reading mammograms
Radiologists should not become too dependent on the use of computer-assisted detection (CAD) technology when reading screening mammograms because the doctors can see lesions that CAD sometimes misses. view more (2006-12-05)
Researchers set benchmarks for screening mammography
A recent study of medical audit data funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) revealed that community mammography screening results surpass performance recommendations across the United States. view more (2006-09-26)
Computer-aided detection could help breast cancer screening
A novel approach to reading mammograms with the help of a computer could free up hundreds of medical man-hours, as well as speeding-up the breast screening process. view more (2006-09-27)
Measuring certain enzyme activity in urine shows promise for detection of bladder cancer
Measurement of an enzyme level (telomerase activity) in urine appears useful for detection of bladder cancer in men. view more (2005-10-26)
Magnetic resonance imaging improves breast cancer diagnosis
Women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer in one breast have a higher risk of contracting the disease in their opposite breast as well. A thorough examination of the opposite breast using mammography and ultrasound is therefore common practice. view more (2007-03-29)
Scientists Develop Technology To Detect Cancer
Researchers at the University of Liverpool have developed a breakthrough technology that identifies molecular markers in early lung cancer. view more (2005-04-20)
Dentists need more training in oral cancer detection
More than 92 percent of Illinois dentists provide oral cancer examinations for their patients, but many are not performing the procedures thoroughly or at optimum intervals, according to a new University of Illinois at Chicago study. view more (2007-05-30)
Candidate markers for gastric cancer
The sequencing of the human genome has opened the door for proteomics by providing a sequence-based framework for mining proteomes. view more (2008-10-29)
