Jefferson scientists find protein helps pancreatic cancer cells evade immune system and spread
A protein that helps prevent a woman's body from rejecting a fetus may also play an important role in enabling pancreatic cancer cells to evade detection by the immune system, allowing them to spread in the body. view more (2008-01-11)
Major cancer study aims to identify protein markers for early-stage disease
A team led by Bay Area scientists is one of five nationwide to receive a major grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to refine and standardize the technologies for identifying biomarkers in the blood - specific proteins, and the patterns they make - for the early detection of cancer. view more (2006-09-29)
Helping to improve early breast cancer Detection Rates
Early correct diagnosis of breast cancer can mean the difference between life and death for the significant proportion of western women affected by the disease. Small clumps of calcium salts - microcalcifications - are often the earliest signs of breast cancer, and appear in 25% of mammograms. Oxford researchers have developed a new method to... view more...

Measurement of urinary protein can help detect recurrent bladder cancer
Measurement of a certain protein in urine can increase the ability to detect bladder cancer recurrence, with test results available during the patient's visit. view more (2006-01-18)
Newly discovered epidermal growth factor receptor active in human pancreatic cancers
Finally some promising news about pancreatic cancer, one of the most fatal cancers, due to the difficulties of early detection and the lack of effective therapies: Johns Hopkins University pathologist Akhilesh Pandey has identified an epidermal growth factor receptor aberrantly active in approximately a third of the 250 human pancreatic cancers... view more...

Scientists from University of Hawaii at Manoa find genetic marker
A new genetic marker associated with ovarian cancer risk was recently discovered by an international research group, led by scientists from the Cancer Research Genetic Epidemiology Unit in the United Kingdom. view more (2009-09-01)
New tool to speed cancer therapy approval available
Although cancer remains a leading cause of death in America, it can take up to 12 years to bring a new anti-cancer agent before the FDA and the success rate for approval is only five to 10 percent. That means many research hours and dollars are wasted chasing avenues that will not bring fruit. view more (2008-09-15)
New guidelines update recommendations on colorectal cancer screening
A new guideline on colorectal cancer screening released today by an expert group representing a broad spectrum of health care organizations, including the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) and the American Cancer Society (ACS), offers recommendations for various alternatives for... view more...

Researchers identify taste receptor responsible for caffeine detection
By studying how taste-receptor mutations impact fruit fly behavior, researchers have identified a taste receptor responsible for the detection of caffeine, a bitter compound known to activate certain taste-receptor neurons, as well as impact various aspects of physiology. view more (2006-09-19)
Researchers develop blood test to detect lung cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women in the United States and around the world, mainly because lung cancers are found in late stages and the best treatment opportunities already have been missed. view more (2006-08-01)
Obesity Increases Lymphedema Risk for Breast Cancer Survivors
Throughout the world, 10 million breast cancer survivors have a lifetime risk for developing lymphedema, a chronic condition that involves swelling of the limbs and impacts physical and psychosocial health. view more (2008-12-19)
Sophisticated drugs detection
Police and customs around the world spend over $250 million a year on drug detection equipment. Despite efforts to develop new technologies, more than half of this money goes to one of the oldest drug detection systems in the world - the sniffer dog. view more (2003-01-16)
Scientists use saliva's 'diagnostic alphabets' to diagnose disease
Today, during the 85th General Session of the International Association for Dental Research, scientists are reporting that the use of saliva for clinical detection of major human diseases is only a few years away. view more (2007-03-22)
Public Awareness Programs Can Reduce the Duration of Untreated Psychosis
People experiencing their first symptoms of a psychotic mental illness, such as schizophrenia, sought treatment sooner if they lived in areas with public programs to raise awareness of psychotic illnesses, symptoms and treatment, according to an article in the February issue of The Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.... view more...

Bioluminescence imaging used for eye cancer detection
At the moment, doctors rely on biopsy analysis to determine the progression of eye cancer. However, researchers now believe that a new technology, bioluminescence imaging (BLI), will allow doctors to detect tumors earlier and quickly choose a method of treatment that doesn't necessarily involve eye surgery. view more (2009-10-14)
Health groups issue updated colorectal cancer screening guidelines
The American Cancer Society, the American College of Radiology, and the U.S. Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer (a group that comprises representatives from the American College of Gastroenterology, American Gastroenterological Association, and American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy) have released the first-ever joint consensus... view more...

MRI may be unnecessary prior to treatment in most newly diagnosed breast cancer patients
New research findings published in the August issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons challenge the routine use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a means to improve surgical outcomes in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. view more (2009-08-14)
Swiss study finds income affects prostate cancer patients' survival
Prostate cancer patients of low socioeconomic status are more likely to die than patients with higher incomes. view more (2009-09-28)
Older men with early prostate cancer survived longer with treatment vs. observation
A new study shows older men with early stage prostate cancer survive longer if they are treated versus not being treated in favor of the "watchful waiting" approach advocated by many physicians for older men with other health problems. view more (2006-02-27)
SSX, a new family of cancer vaccine targets
Scientists from the Cancer Vaccine Collaborative (CVC) have discovered that the cancer-specific protein, SSX-2, induces a spontaneous immunological reaction against cancer cells in melanoma patients, offering a new target for the development of a therapeutic melanoma vaccine. SSX-2 is the prototype of the SSX family, and is part of a larger group... view more... (2004-04-01)
