Media Invitation - Keeping ahead of the criminal - £20M for Crime Prevention Research
Crime prevention and detection technology needs to keep at least one step ahead of the criminal to be effective. This means continued advancement in forensic science techniques, anti-terrorism technologies, personal and property security, crime detection and developing a safer living environment. The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research... view more... (2002-10-14)
AGA supports new guidelines favoring tests that prevent colorectal cancer
New consensus colorectal cancer guidelines released today state for the first time that the primary goal of colorectal cancer screening is cancer prevention. Previous guidelines have given equal weight to tests for detecting cancer and preventing cancer. By removing polyps from the large bowel, colonoscopy is the only screening test that also... view more... (2008-03-06)
MRI better than MDCT in detecting endoleaks, study says
Contrast-enhanced MR imaging is significantly superior to 16 slice multidetector CT in the detection of endoleaks after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurisms (EVAR), according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Ospedale San Giovanni in Bellinzona, Switzerland. view more (2008-04-14)
Early Promise Of Non-Invasive Test For Colorectal Cancer (p 403)
A fast-track research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describes how the detection of a specific mutation in faecal DNA could be a reliable method for identifying a subset of proximal colorectal cancers. If successful, the new assessment, when combined with sigmoidoscopy or other DNA-based tests, could be advantageous over more difficult... view more... (2002-01-30)
University of Kent Study Aims To Improve Information And Support Needs For Older Men With Prostate Cancer
The Centre for Health Services Studies (CHSS) at the University of Kent is currently engaged in an exploratory study of the information and support needs for men aged 75+ with prostate cancer. view more (2004-11-03)
ADDING HPV TESTING TO CERVICAL SCREENING COULD SAVE LIVES AND SAVE MONEY
Adding a test for a virus known to cause cervical cancer to the conventional cervical smear test improves the detection of cervical abnormalities in women over 34 years old. Research published today1 shows that the use of a test for the human papilloma virus (HPV) in addition to the current Pap smear increases the number of high-grade... view more... (1999-09-09)
New technique may help detect potential breast cancer spread
A new phase III clinical trial of early stage breast cancer patients has shown that a molecule designed to home in on nearby lymph nodes is just as accurate as current techniques, but faster, more specific and easier to use. view more (2009-05-08)
Study finds multiple markers for breast and ovarian cancer
Scientists from the Uppsala Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR) have made a promising discovery that could improve the early diagnosis of breast and ovarian cancers through a simple blood test. view more (2005-08-01)
University of Toronto scientists map entire yeast genome
University of Toronto scientists have devised a tool to help understand and predict the state of a cell by successfully mapping all 70,000 nucleosomes in yeast. Nucleosomes wrap DNA before it is transformed into proteins and are critical indicators and regulators of a cell's state. view more (2007-11-27)
New screening technologies improve detection of polyps during colonoscopy
Two studies presented at the American College of Gastroenterology's 73rd Annual Scientific Meeting in Orlando highlight new technologies with the potential to improve the detection of colorectal polyps and flat lesions during colonoscopy. view more (2008-10-06)
Change in gene may be underlying molecular defect in some colorectal cancers, study suggests
Inactivation of a DNA repair gene may be an early step in the development of sporadic colorectal tumors, and detection of the molecular basis for this inactivation may ultimately be useful in risk assessment for colorectal cancer. view more (2005-09-21)
An advanced genetic diagnostic method for multiple myeloma
A researcher at the University of Navarra, Borja Sáez Ochoa, has proposed a new genetic diagnostic method for multiple myeloma (MM), a type of bone marrow cancer, which permits the detection of this disease in earlier stages. view more (2006-09-12)
Attitudes toward mammography differ across ethnicities, cultures, backgrounds
Black and Hispanic women have a different understanding of screening mammography compared with that of Caucasian women. view more (2007-11-27)
Scientists make step forward in drug detection
Scientists at The University of Nottingham are leading the field in developing a new detection system that could be used to test athletes for performance-enhancing drugs. view more (2005-02-16)
AGA Institute statement on CT colonography study
Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths, affecting both men and women nearly equally and is one of the most preventable cancers. The American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute supports clinically proven technologies that increase the number of patients screened for colon cancer. view more (2007-10-08)
Screening may over-diagnose 1 in 10 breast cancers
Screening women for breast cancer could result in a 10% rate of over-diagnosis, finds a study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2006-03-03)
US prostate cancer deaths down one third in men aged 50-74: Europe following?
Copenhagen, Denmark: New findings presented today (Tuesday 23 September) at ECCO 12 - The European Cancer Conference, show that US prostate cancer mortality rates, which had been increasing slowly during the 1970s and 1980s, suddenly started to fall rapidly during the 1990s. view more (2003-09-21)
Cleveland Clinic leading clinical program to improve early-stage lung cancer detection
Cleveland Clinic and Riverain Medical today announced the establishment of the first study in an ongoing program to determine whether chest X-ray CAD (computer-aided detection) can improve practical early detection of lung cancer. view more (2007-11-27)
Can dogs smell cancer?
In a new scientific study, researchers present astonishing new evidence that man's best friend, the dog, may have the capacity to contribute to the process of early cancer detection. view more (2006-01-06)
Sensitive nanowire disease detectors made by Yale scientists
Yale scientists have created nanowire sensors coupled with simple microprocessor electronics that are both sensitive and specific enough to be used for point-of-care (POC) disease detection, according to a report in Nano Letters. view more (2008-10-13)
