SCREENING MAMMOGRAPHY UNDER SCRUTINY
In the UK and many other countries, women are advised to have routine screening (mammography) for breast cancer in the hope that early detection of a breast cancer and prompt treatment will cure the disease. A report in The Lancet in January 2000, by Peter G'¸tzsche and Ole Olsen from the Nordic Cochrane Center In Copenhagen, Denmark, suggested... view more... (2001-10-17)
HPV testing could be future strategy for primary screening for cervical cancer (pp 1866, 1871)
Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 5 December 2003. Authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET propose a new approach for cervical cancer screening. Testing for the human papilloma virus (HPV)-the main cause of cervical cancer-could be the primary screening tool, with cytology reserved for women who test positive for HPV. HPV testing... view more... (2003-12-03)
Saliva proteins could help detection of oral cancer
Clinicians could detect oral squamous cell carcinoma, a form of oral cancer, using a simple test that detects proteins in saliva, according to a report in the October 1, 2008, issue of Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. view more (2008-10-01)
Study finds delay in follow-up among African-American women receiving abnormal breast finding
A new analysis has identified a significant delay in follow-up times among African-American women after the finding of a suspicious breast abnormality. view more (2009-10-26)
Gold nanoparticles show potential for noninvasive cancer treatment
Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco and Georgia Institute of Technology have found a new way to kill cancer cells. Building on their previous work that used gold nanoparticles to detect cancer, they now are heating the particles and using them as agents to destroy malignant cells. view more (2005-10-10)
The fight against colorectal cancer
In 2007, colorectal cancer will kill approximately 8700 Canadians. To draw attention to this situation, Dr. Alan Barkun, Director of the gastroenterology department at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) and Dr. Ken Flegel, service chief in internal medicine, have coauthored an editorial that will appear in the September 11, 2007 issue of... view more...

UNC study firms up promise of potential new cervical cancer screening tool
New research into the causes of cervical cancer appears to lend weight to the promise of a potential early detection method that could help prevent the disease. view more (2008-05-22)
Researchers working on a better method of detecting ovarian cancer
According to the National Cancer Institute, ovarian cancer causes more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system. An estimated 20,180 new cases of ovarian cancer are expected in the United States this year. view more (2006-04-04)
Cancer mortality rates experience steady decline
The number of cancer deaths has declined steadily in the last three decades. Although younger people have experienced the steepest declines, all age groups have shown some improvement. view more (2009-08-13)
Anti-inflammatory drugs may mask prostate cancer marker
Regular use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin and ibuprofen, may reduce serum levels of the prostate biomarker, PSA (prostate specific antigen), and hence may alter the detection of prostate cancer in individuals who take these medications. view more (2008-09-08)
Managing Colorectal Cancers In The NHS
How best to detect and manage bowel cancer is the subject of the latest issue of EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE. Colorectal (bowel) cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in England and Wales. Early detection and good management result in improved survival rates. Improvements have been made in the provision of services and treatment of... view more... (2004-06-28)
Nanowires can detect molecular signs of cancer, scientists find
Harvard University researchers have found that molecular markers indicating the presence of cancer in the body are readily detected in blood scanned by special arrays of silicon nanowires - even when these cancer markers constitute only one hundred-billionth of the protein present in a drop of blood. view more (2005-09-26)
Screening chest x-ray detects early-stage lung cancers at high rates, study results show
Almost half of lung cancers detected by a chest x-ray were early-stage cancers, according to baseline results of a large, randomized clinical trial that is testing the efficacy of a chest x-ray as a screening test for lung cancer. view more (2005-12-21)
Women 10 times more likely to do breast self-exams correctly with intervention, KP study finds
A brief intervention program - consisting of one counseling session and two follow-up phone calls - boosted by tenfold the number of women correctly performing breast self- exams. view more (2009-04-30)
Breast cancer survivors optimistic, yet lack critical information on reducing recurrence
The majority of breast cancer survivors consider themselves stronger after having the disease, according to new survey results released today. However, the data also suggest women's knowledge about actions they can take to lessen the likelihood of recurrence is surprisingly low. view more (2007-09-26)
EARLY DETECTION OF LUNG CANCER POSSIBLE WITH CAT AND PET SCANS (pp 588, 593)
Issue 23 August 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 22 August 2003. Preliminary results from a European study in this week's issue of THE LANCET show that combined use of spiral computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tamography (PET) scanning can reliably detect early lung cancer. Authors of the study suggest that use of these imaging... view more... (2003-08-20)
American women are more likely to choose overly aggressive treatments for breast cancer
Despite a 1990 consensus recommendation from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that lumpectomy plus radiation was the treatment of choice for early stage breast cancer, the United States continues to have the highest rate of mastectomy surgery among industrialized countries. view more (2008-01-09)
Iowa State researchers develop technology for early detection of viruses
Iowa State University researchers have developed a technology that detects a single molecule of the virus associated with cervical cancer in women. view more (2007-10-31)
Nursing study concludes few Ontario women with invasive ovarian cancer referred for genetic testing of breast cancer genes
An Ontario study of 491 women with invasive ovarian cancer found only a small proportion, 19%, were referred for genetic testing of BRCA1 and BRCA2, the breast cancer genes, which means family members are not informed of their cancer risk. view more (2008-12-05)
3T MRI Detects "Early" Breast Cancer Not Seen on Mammography and Sonography
3T MRI, a powerful tool for evaluating patients with a high risk of having breast cancer, can detect a significant number of lesions not found on mammography and sonography. view more (2009-05-06)
