An herbal extract inhibits the development of pancreatic cancer
An herb recently found to kill pancreatic cancer cells also appears to inhibit development of pancreatic cancer as a result of its anti-inflammatory properties, according to researchers from the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson. view more (2009-04-20)
Breast cancer amongst young women
Breast cancer is the most common and the second-most fatal malignant tumour amongst women who live in industrialised countries. Moreover, when present in young women, it would appear that a genetic predisposition is involved. This predisposition can be due to a number of causes and, amongst the most common, lie the alterations in the gene... view more... (2003-11-14)
High doses of folic acid may help to prevent stomach cancer
High doses of folic acid may help to prevent digestive tract cancers, suggests animal research reported in Gut. view more (2001-12-17)
Cancer Research Could Lead To Improved Detection Methods
Research into the development of cancer at the University of Liverpool could lead to earlier and improved detection methods for the disease. view more (2005-04-14)
Breast asymmetry predicts breast cancer
Women who go on to develop breast cancer tend to have breasts that are less symmetrical than women who don't develop the cancer. view more (2006-03-20)
Study indicates pregnancy does not harm chances of survival from cancer
New research offers reassurance to women worried about whether getting pregnant after cancer treatment might worsen their prognosis. view more (2007-09-27)
U of Minnesota study finds thalidomide shows promise for treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer
Thalidomide, a drug blamed in the 1950s for causing birth defects, is now showing promise as a safe and effective treatment for women with recurrent ovarian cancer, according to a study led by a University of Minnesota Cancer Center researcher. view more (2008-02-28)
Study identifies a common genetic risk factor for colorectal and prostate cancer
A study led by researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) has found that one of seven genetic risk factors previously identified as increasing the probability of developing prostate cancer also increases the probability of developing colorectal cancer. view more (2007-07-09)
MSU research strengthens link between smoking, pancreatic cancer
Researchers at Michigan State University have added yet another piece to the puzzle that links cigarette smoking with cancer of the pancreas, one of the deadliest forms of cancer. view more (2007-03-09)
Low folate levels may cut bowel cancer risk
Low levels of folate, a B vitamin found in fruits and leafy green vegetables, may cut the risk of bowel cancer, suggests research published ahead of print in the journal Gut. view more (2006-04-25)
Vitamin E, selenium and soy in combination does not prevent prostate cancer
The combination therapy of vitamin E, selenium and soy does not prevent the progression from high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) to prostate cancer, according to the new research presented at the 104th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA). view more (2009-04-27)
New advance in prostate cancer management
Scientists from The Institute of Cancer Research have developed a technique which will markedly help in predicting the behaviour of prostate cancer. view more (2005-08-10)
New gene discovery that stops skin cancer in its tracks
Tumour Suppressor Genes (TSGs) are important in controlling the growth of cells. Cancer is caused when cells multiply uncontrollably, so the TSGs play a vital role in stopping healthy cells from becoming cancerous. Experts already know that one particular TSG called P16 is able to stop the growth of cells in the most aggressive form of skin cancer... view more... (1999-02-22)
Genetic mutation associated with increased risk of lung cancer
Carriers of a common genetic disorder previously linked to lung disease may have a 70-percent to 100-percent increased risk of lung cancer, according to a report in the May 26 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-05-27)
Does green tea prevent cancer? Evidence continues to brew, but questions remain
Although scientists are reluctant to officially endorse green tea as a cancer prevention method, evidence continues to grow about its protective effects, including results of a new study published in Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, which suggests some reduction in oral cancer. view more (2009-11-05)
UNC study identifies genetic cause of most common form of breast cancer
The discovery of tumor-suppressor genes has been key to unlocking the molecular and cellular mechanisms leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation - the hallmark of cancer. view more (2009-05-12)
New Discovery Raises Doubts About Use of Certain Targeted Therapies in Bladder Cancer
Researchers at the University of Virginia Health System have found that one of the genes commonly thought to promote the growth and spread of some types of cancers is in fact beneficial in bladder cancer - a major discovery that could significantly alter the way bladder cancers are treated in the future. view more (2009-03-26)
Researchers identify individuals at risk for developing colon cancer
A new study identifies a group of individuals at increased risk for developing colon cancer and holds the promise for developing new tailored cancer treatments. view more (2009-07-14)
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)
Structure of key cancer drug target identified
Researchers from Monash's Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology have determined the structure of the protein JAK2 kinase, a discovery with huge implications for the design and development of new cancer drugs. view more (2005-10-26)
