Active compounds found in Ganoderma lucidum fungus with potential to treat prostate cancer
A new development in the fight against cancer: Recent research at the University of Haifa found that molecules found in common fungus Ganoderma lucidum aid in suppressing some of the mechanisms involved in the progression of prostate cancer. view more (2007-12-12)
Study examines genetic defects linked to body abnormalities in patients with childhood cancer
Children with cancer have a higher prevalence of body abnormalities, such as asymmetric lower limbs and curvature of the spine, suggesting that the genetic defect responsible for the abnormality may play a role in the development of cancer, according to a study in the January 2 issue of JAMA. view more (2008-01-02)
Study links nicotine with breast cancer growth and spread
A study published in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, suggests a possible role for nicotine in breast tumor development and metastases. view more (2008-10-15)
Fatty diet does not increase risk of skin cancer
Eating fatty food does not appear to increase the risk of skin cancer. A study published today in the open access journal BMC Cancer contradicts previous research that showed a link between high fat intake and certain types of skin cancer. view more (2006-05-30)
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)
New Herceptin results confirm impressive reduction in risk of cancer returning
New Herceptin results confirm impressive reduction in risk of cancer returning in women with aggressive form of early-stage breast cancer. view more (2005-09-14)
Ovarian Cancer May Mimic Fallopian Tube Formation
A new study suggests that ovarian cancer cells form by hijacking a developmental genetic process normally used to form fallopian tubes. Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Ovarian Cancer Institute discovered that the protein, PAX8, is involved in the development of fallopian tubes and is present in ovarian cancer cells, but... view more...

Pazopanib shrinks lung cancers before surgery
Pazopanib, a new oral angiogenesis inhibitor, has demonstrated interesting activity in difficult to treat non-small-cell lung cancer, US researchers report. view more (2008-09-17)
Research Fortnight 30 January issue: stories on HEFCE RAE funding, cancer research, DfID and particle physics
HEFCE plans cuts for mid-range departments Academics were surprised last week to learn that the Higher Education Funding Council for England has gone back on its decision to fund all departments rated 3 in the recent Research Assessment Exercise. The funding council has also indicated that departments rated 4 and 5 could see their funding slashed... view more... (2002-01-30)
Stem cell protein offers a new cancer target
A protein abundant in embryonic stem cells is now shown to be important in cancer, and offers a possible new target for drug development, report researchers from the Stem Cell Program at Children's Hospital Boston. view more (2009-06-02)
Increased ovarian cancer risk not found in women with breast cancer family history
Women with a strong family history of breast cancer but who don't have breast cancer genetic mutations can now be reassured that they are not at increased risk for ovarian cancer. view more (2005-09-21)
University of Kent Appoints Leading Cancer Researcher
One of the UKˇ¦s leading cancer researchers, Professor Bill Gullick, is to become the University of Kent at Canterburyˇ¦s (UKC) new Chair in Cancer Biology from 1 January 2000. Currently Principal Scientist at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund (ICRF) Molecular Oncology Unit in Hammersmith, and Professor of Molecular Oncology at the Imperial... view more... (1999-11-15)
Study looks at using the immune system to reduce prostate cancer risk
Immune therapies have been explored as a way to treat cancer after it develops. view more (2009-09-24)
New model suggests role of low vitamin D in cancer development
In studying the preventive effects of vitamin D, researchers at the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California, San Diego, have proposed a new model of cancer development that hinges on a loss of cancer cells' ability to stick together. view more (2009-05-22)
Tooth loss strongly linked to risk of esophageal, head and neck, and lung cancer
Studying thousands of patients, Japanese researchers have found a strong link between tooth loss and increased risk of three cancers - esophageal, head and neck, and lung. They suggest that preservation of teeth may decrease risk of developing these diseases. view more (2008-05-14)
Protein 'chatter' linked to cancer activation
Scientists have found the existence of cross-talk between human chromosome ends and the protein complexes central to the stability of the entire human genome, a "chat" that contributes to cancer development. view more (2007-08-14)
Caesar researchers discover a mechanism in the pathogenesis of breast cancer
New approaches in breast cancer therapy view more (2005-05-17)
Women without regular medical care at increased risk of ovarian cancer
In North America, ovarian cancer is the second most common gynecological cancer and is the leading cause of death among women with gynecological cancer. The high mortality is in part due to the difficulty of detecting and diagnosing this condition at an early stage. view more (2007-03-27)
Smoking During Adolescence Could Increase The Risk Of Breast Cancer (pp 1033, 1044)
Authors of a Canadian study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight the varying effects of smoking on the risk of breast cancer-adolescent women who smoke could be at an increased risk of breast cancer later in life compared with non-smokers. One in nine women in the UK have a lifetime risk of breast cancer, with a similar proportion for... view more... (2002-10-02)
A search for biomarkers for early detection of colorectal cancer
Researchers at the Zhejiang University, Hangzhou have discovered that mimecan and Thioredoxin Domain-Containing Protein 5 (TXNDC5) were differentially expressed in colorectal adenoma. view more (2007-09-25)
