Study finds 231 new genes associated with head and neck cancer
A Henry Ford Hospital study has identified 231 new genes associated with head and neck cancer, one of the most deadly cancers responsible for 2.1 percent of all cancer deaths in the United States. view more (2009-10-05)
Lighting the way to early cancer detection
Scientists at the University of Sussex are pioneering a non-invasive way to identify cancers. The team has vastly improved a system for detecting cancer in the early stages, without putting patients through painful exploratory procedures. The detection works by beaming ultra violet light at a patient and analysing the information reflected. This... view more... (2004-01-06)
Scientists find color vision system independent of motion detection
The vision system used to process color is separate from that used to detect motion, according to a new study by researchers at New York University's Center for Developmental Genetics and in the Department of Genetics and Neurobiology at Germany's University of Würzburg. view more (2008-03-20)
Assessment model gauges lung cancer risk based on medical history and genetics
Physicians have little to help them predict development of lung cancer in their patients-even a history of heavy smoking doesn't really help, since only a small fraction of lifetime smokers develops the cancer. view more (2006-04-05)
Study finds colorectal cancer rates increasing worldwide
A new study finds colorectal cancer incidence rates for both males and females increased in 27 of 51 countries worldwide between 1983 and 2002, and points to increasing Westernization as being a likely culprit. view more (2009-06-10)
Kylie's breast cancer triggered a surge of over 30 percent in breast imaging of low-risk women
Use of mammography and breast ultrasound procedures soared by over 30 percent among women aged 25-44 in the 6 months following Kylie Minogue's breast cancer diagnosis, says a new study from the University of Melbourne. view more (2008-06-05)
RNA splicing factor implicated in ovarian tumor cell growth
An RNA-binding protein that is overproduced in ovarian cancer may present a new target for diagnosis or treatment of ovarian and other cancers, according to researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago. view more (2007-04-10)
Predicting higher risk for prostate cancer diagnosis
High-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) carries a high predictive value for future diagnosis of prostate cancer. view more (2009-05-27)
Guam rhino beetles got rhythm
In May 2008 the island of Guam became a living laboratory for scientists as they attached acoustic equipment to coconut trees in order to listen for rhinoceros beetles. view more (2009-04-14)
What is the more suitable for early detection of low abundant lamivudine-resistant mutants?
Lamivudine is an effective antiviral agent for treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B and advanced liver diseases. However, long-term lamivudine monotherapy leads to the emergence of lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B virus (HBV) mutants in some patients chronically infected with HBV. view more (2008-01-17)
XMM-Newton's anniversary view of supernova SN 1987A
Twenty years after the first detection of SN 1987A, the nearest supernova ever detected since the invention of the telescope, XMM-Newton provided a fresh-new view of this object. The source keeps brightening-XMM-Newton confirms. view more (2007-02-26)
Childhood cancer survivors treated with radiation face increased risk of tumors later in life
University of Minnesota cancer researchers found that children who received radiation treatment for cancer face an increased risk for brain and spinal column tumors later in life. view more (2006-11-02)
Picturing the future of skin cancer diagnosis
Detecting skin cancer early saves lives, but is a job for specialists. A new European system based on confocal imaging promises to improve detection and diagnosis rates by 20 per cent and to speed up the whole process considerably. view more (2005-03-04)
Gene discovery opens door to tackling disease
Western Australian researchers have discovered a new gene that could lead to breakthroughs in breast and prostate cancer, as well as diabetes. view more (2006-06-09)
Well-educated women hardest hit by breast cancer
Well-educated women and those who live alone are emotionally the hardest hit by breast cancer, according to the findings of a new Australian study announced during October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. view more (2009-10-20)
Detection of DNA on nanotubes offers new sensing, sequencing technologies
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who recently reported that DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes could serve as sensors in living cells now say the tiny tubes can be used to target specific DNA sequences. view more (2006-02-22)
Oral rinses used for tracking HPV-positive head and neck cancers holds promise for cancer screening
A study published in the journal Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, validates a non-invasive screening method with future potential for detection of human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive head and neck cancers. view more (2008-10-31)
Primary care physicians can fill gap in colorectal cancer screening
The number of people who need colonoscopies to screen for colorectal cancer is outpacing the number of endoscopists available to perform them, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2009-01-13)
Novel vaccine shows promise against early-stage breast cancer
A diagnosis of breast cancer has taken on a new meaning in the past 10 years, as research has produced a host of new therapies and detection techniques, significantly improving long-term survival for women who have been fighting the disease. view more (2006-11-13)
Laser-optical mine detection needle will facilitate mine clearing
The "laser-optical mine detection needle" is intended to facilitate the removal of land mines for humanitarian reasons. The working group of Professor Dr. Wolfgang Schade at the Institute of Physics und Physical Technologies at the Technical University of Clausthal intends to exhibit a "laser-optical mine detection needle" at... view more...
