New protein target may advance design of HIV and cancer drugs
Using small molecules containing platinum, Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center researchers have created a process to inhibit a class of proteins important in HIV and cancer. view more (2006-05-31)
Switching immunosuppressants reduces cancer risk in kidney
Switching to a newer type of immunosuppressant drug may reduce the high rate of skin cancer after kidney transplantation, according to research being presented at the American Society of Nephrology's 42nd Annual Meeting and Scientific Exposition in San Diego, CA. view more (2009-11-02)
Study demonstrates that lung cancer susceptibility runs in families
Studying thousands of people, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have documented a 25 percent increased risk of developing one of a number of cancers in first-degree relatives of lung cancer patients who have never smoked compared to families of people who neither smoke nor have lung cancer. view more (2006-04-03)
Environmental exposures may damage DNA in as few as 3 days
Exposure to particulate matter has been recognized as a contributing factor to lung cancer development for some time, but a new study indicates inhalation of certain particulates can actually cause some genes to become reprogrammed, affecting both the development and the outcome of cancers and other diseases. view more (2009-05-18)
Estrogen-progestin menopausal hormone therapy and risk of lobular and tubular breast cancer
Estrogen-progestin menopausal hormone therapy is associated with a more than two-fold higher relative risk of developing lobular cancer or tubular cancer than of developing ductal cancer. view more (2006-02-17)
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)
Researchers say estrogen can kill breast cancer cells once fueled by the hormone
Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers say some breast cancer cells once fueled by estrogen can be killed by the same hormone. view more (2005-12-07)
Teenagers with cancer are missing out on vital services says UK politician
Dr Ian Gibson MP, Chair of the All Party Working Group on Cancer, has today called on the Government to make further provisions for teenagers with cancer, who are currently falling far behind children and adults when it comes to cancer services. Speaking at a news briefing at Teenage Cancer Trust's Third International Conference on Cancer and the... view more... (2004-02-29)
The Lancet Oncology
CLEAR SKIES NOT SO CLEAN This months Leading Edge editorial examines the recently published US Environmental Protection Agency`s (EPA) 10-year in-the-making report on the toxic effects of diesel exhaust fumes from large vehicles. The report-which showed that large cities are heavily polluted with emissions that are associated with increased risk... view more... (2002-10-02)
Taking aim at mysterious DNA structures in the battle against cancer
Designers of anti-cancer drugs are aiming their arrows at mysterious chunks of the genetic material DNA that may play a key role in preventing the growth and spread of cancer cells, according to an article in the current issue of Chemical & Engineering News, ACS' weekly newsmagazine. view more (2009-11-05)
Does public information about cancer screening do more harm than good?
Researchers at Imperial Cancer Research Fund have overturned claims that information provided to the public as part of a cancer screening programme increases people's anxiety about the disease and worries them unnecessarily. Their work is published today in the British Medical Journal*. view more (1999-10-13)
High rates of skin cancer among airline pilots
Rates and types of cancer were assessed in 458 pilots, 265 of whom flew the national Icelandic airline across European and transAtlantic routes. These were then compared with the rates of cancer expected to develop in the population as a whole, gathered from data supplied by the national cancer registry, according to age. view more (2000-02-14)
TLR4 gene found to protect against tumor development
A new study finds that a gene which plays an important role in immune function, known as toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), may also play a critical role in suppressing chronic lung inflammation and tumor development in mice. view more (2005-12-08)
Stress Will Not Bring Back Breast Cancer
Violence, bereavement, debt and other stressful experiences do not increase the chances of breast cancer returning in a woman who has been treated for the disease. The good news was announced today in a new study by Europe`s largest cancer charity, Cancer Research UK, and published in the British Medical Journal. The study, headed by Professor... view more...

Obesity boosts gullet cancer risk 6-fold
Obese people are six times as likely to develop gullet (oesophageal) cancer as people of 'healthy' weight, shows research published ahead of print in the journal Gut. view more (2007-10-11)
Inducing Melanoma for Cancer Vaccine Development
Cancer vaccines are being investigated in early-phase clinical trials around the world, with many of those trials recruiting patients with melanoma. view more (2006-03-28)
PSA doubling predicts prostate cancer recurrence
A detectable level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the first indicator of recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. In a new Mayo Clinic study, the concept of PSA doubling time (DT) is found to be a reliable tool to distinguish which patients have prolonged innocuous PSA levels after therapy from those who are at great risk for... view more...

Improving understanding of cell behaviour in breast cancer
The invasion and spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body, known as metastasis, is a principal cause of death in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. view more (2008-07-16)
Scientists uncover new key to the puzzle of hormone therapy and breast cancer
The use of postmenopausal hormone therapy has decreased over time in the United States, which researchers suggest may play a key role in the declining rate of atypical ductal hyperplasia, a known risk factor for breast cancer. view more (2009-11-09)
In lung cancer, silencing one crucial gene disrupts normal functioning of genome
While examining patterns of DNA modification in lung cancer, a team of international researchers has discovered what they say is a surprising new mechanism. view more (2009-01-05)
