Toronto researcher's discovery points to a new treatment avenue for acute myeloid leukemia
Dr. John Dick, Senior Scientist at the Ontario Cancer Institute, the research arm of Princess Margaret Hospital, co-led a multinational team that has developed the first leukemia therapy that targets a protein, CD123, on the surface of cancer stem cells that drive acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is an aggressive disease with a poor outcome. view more (2009-07-07)
Lung cancer survival rates may be linked to access to care
New research suggests that the lower survival rates of blacks with lung cancer may be explained by access to care. view more (2006-02-06)
MRI finds breast cancer before it becomes dangerous
A study in the Lancet (vol. 370, 11 August 2007) could lead to a change of paradigm in the early diagnosis of breast cancer. It states that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is substantially more accurate than mammography in diagnosing very early stages of breast cancer. view more (2007-08-13)
EARLIER DETECTION FOR BREAST CANCER IN SIGHT
One in twelve women in the UK will experience breast cancer during their life, one of the highest incidences in the world. Scientists at Cranfield University's Shrivenham Campus have been looking at ways in which new developments in materials science can assist us in the fight against such cancers. view more (2000-03-15)
Computer-Assisted Detection Of Proteomic Pattern Could Help Screening For Ovarian Cancer
Issue 16 February 2002 - Early Web Publication: Friday 8 February 2002 A sensitive and non-invasive computer-assisted technique which assesses proteomic patterns in blood could be a step towards effective screening for ovarian cancer, conclude authors of a fast-track study published on The Lancet website this week.* New technologies for the... view more...

MRI findings help forecast prostate cancer prognosis
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in patients about to undergo radiation therapy for prostate cancer can help predict the likelihood that the cancer will return and spread post-treatment, according to a new study published in the April issue of the journal Radiology. view more (2008-03-25)
New molecular markers for tumor aggressiveness in biliary tract cancer
Despite recent advances in diagnosis and treatment, the prognosis of patients with biliary tract cancer is still poor. Elucidating the biological characteristics of these carcinomas has become necessary to improve the prognosis of patients and to devise better treatment strategies. view more (2009-08-27)
Patient navigators help minority, low-income cancer patients get life-saving treatments
Volunteers who guide low-income and minority cancer patients through cancer treatment, called lay patient navigators (LPN), help them to overcome major obstacles that prevent them from receiving quality care and achieving better outcomes. view more (2007-10-29)
New technique improves purity of medicines
Dutch researcher Roelof Mol has investigated possibilities for more accurately determining the composition of medicines. He came up with a combination of two techniques that were previously considered to be incompatible: the separation technique electrokinetic chromatography (EKC) and the detection technique mass spectroscopy (MS). view more (2007-10-25)
Researchers link melanopsin gene to unexplored light detection system within the eye.
Discovery could explain why light keeps us awake and may lead to new treatments for disorders such as jet-lag and SAD. Researchers from Imperial College London, Johns Hopkins University, USA and Brown University, USA have discovered that melanopsin, a recently identified protein, plays a key role in a completely new light detection system in the... view more...

Multimarker assay for ovarian cancer most promising to date
The search for a specific protein that could help diagnose ovarian cancer in its early stages has for years eluded researchers who are seeking a reliable and accurate test for the disease. view more (2006-04-03)
Scientists: New technique identifies molecular 'biomarkers' for disease
University of Florida chemists are the first to use a new tool to identify the molecular signatures of serious diseases -- without any previous knowledge of what these microscopic signatures or "biomarkers" should look like. view more (2008-04-01)
New technique to detect diabetic retinopathy
The ophthalmology team of the University Clinic of the University of Navarre has published a new technique to detect diabetic retinopathy. This research has been published in the magazine Investigative Ophthamology and Visual Science. The research is based on the Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). This test allows measuring the thickness of eye... view more... (2002-11-26)
Researchers find better prostate cancer indicators
Researchers at Mayo Clinic have narrowed the search for effective prostate cancer biomarkers (genetic variations that point to a specific disease or condition), identifying changes in the expression of genes of the whole genome closely correlated to prostate cancer development and progression. view more (2006-03-28)
Sensitive and specific biomarker for early detection of prostate cancer identified
Scientists at a Maryland-based pharmaceutical company have preliminary evidence showing that a protein in the blood may prove to be a biomarker that is more sensitive and specific than current methods of early detection for prostate cancer. view more (2006-09-14)
Pancreatic Cancer Surgery Five-Year Survivors 65 and Up Live Nearly as Long As Anyone
A new study shows that pancreatic cancer patients 65 or older who live at least five years after surgery have nearly as good a chance as anyone else to live another five years. view more (2007-01-10)
Study says colorectal cancer increasing in young adults
A new study finds that in sharp contrast to the overall declining rates of colorectal cancer in the United States, incidence rates among adults younger than age 50 years are increasing. view more (2009-06-08)
Detecting the liars
Police officers are no better than the average college student when it comes to spotting whether a person is lying or not: research suggests that this is largely due to the way in which questions are phrased. However, a new method of more indirect questioning may improve police ability to detect deception. Professor Aldert Vrij of the University... view more... (2001-10-31)
Purdue researchers develop technology to detect cancer by scanning surface veins
A new technology for cancer detection that eliminates the need for drawing blood has been developed by Purdue University researchers. view more (2007-09-05)
CT lung cancer screening no cure-all for smokers
Screening for lung cancer with computed tomography (CT) may help reduce lung cancer deaths in current and former smokers, but it won't protect them from other causes of death associated with smoking, according to a new study published in the July issue of the journal Radiology. view more (2008-06-10)
