Can exercise therapy help breast cancer survivors?
A researcher at Sheffield Hallam University is to carry out the first ever UK study into how exercise therapy (exercise and lifestyle counselling) affects the quality of life of women recovering from breast cancer. Dr Amanda Daley, from the University's Centre for Sport and Exercise Science, has secured £142,000 from Cancer Research UK to... view more... (2002-07-23)
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...

Fox Chase researchers identify differences in treatments and outcomes of patients with second primary lung cancers versus those with one primary lung cancer
Patients with second primary lung cancers (SPLC), when compared to those with one primary lung cancer (OPLC), are more likely to have localized disease at the time of diagnosis and are more likely to receive surgical treatment rather than radiation treatment. view more (2009-08-03)
More patients diagnosed at earlier stage of colon cancer since expansion of screening coverage
Since Medicare raised the amount it will reimburse for colon cancer screening in 1998, there has been an increase in use of colonoscopies by Medicare beneficiaries, and a rise in the proportion of patients being diagnosed with colon cancer at an early stage, according to a study in the December 20 issue of JAMA. view more (2006-12-20)

A non-invasive diagnostic test for early-stage bronchial carcinoma (lung cancer) is one of the innovative technologies being presented at White Rose Bioscience Forum in York today (03 November). view more (2004-11-02)
Dental researchers confirm microRNAs as biomarkers for oral cancer detection
A new study published by researchers at the UCLA School of Dentistry substantiates the effectiveness of measuring the microRNAs present in saliva to detect oral squamous cell carcinoma. view more (2009-08-26)
PSA velocity's clinical usefulness remains unclear
Some studies have suggested that the rate of change of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels may correspond with prostate cancer survival. But this does not necessarily mean that PSA velocity will be valuable as a prostate cancer screening tool. view more (2007-10-10)
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)
Study examines risk of soft tissue sarcomas in hereditary retinoblastoma survivors
A study in the January 3 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute quantifies the risk of hereditary retinoblastoma survivors developing specific subtypes of soft tissue sarcomas and finds that this risk persists for decades after the original retinoblastoma diagnosis. view more (2007-01-03)
Young breast cancer survivors suffer more long-term after effects
Younger women who survive breast cancer have particular problems in coping with the physical and psychological after effects, even ten years later, a scientist said today. Speaking at the 4th European Breast Cancer Conference in Hamburg, Germany, Dr. Lonneke van de Poll-Franse, from the Comprehensive Cancer Centre South in... view more... (2004-03-15)
New cancer gene discovered
A new cancer gene has been discovered by a research group at the Sahlgrenska Academy. The gene causes an insidious form of glandular cancer usually in the head and neck and in women also in the breast. The discovery could lead to quicker and better diagnosis and more effective treatment. view more (2009-10-14)
Physician trust, early screening reduces disparities for prostate cancer
Men who have a regular, ongoing relationship with a health care provider are more likely to receive prostate cancer screening and less likely to be diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, regardless of their race, according to a University of North Carolina study published in the current issue of the journal Cancer. view more (2009-07-29)

St. Jude identifies genomic causes of a certain type of leukemia relapse
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have identified distinctive genetic changes in the cancer cells of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that cause relapse. The finding offers a pathway to designing treatments for ALL relapse in children and, ultimately, in adults. view more (2008-12-01)

Reflection makes Skin Cancer Diagnosis easier
A new way of detecting skin cancers using light reflected from pigmented skin lesions is described this week in the Institute of Physics journal, Physics in Medicine and Biology. Scientists from the Institute of Cancer Research and Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Trust studied the spectra of light reflected from skin lesions. As benign and malignant... view more... (2000-02-18)
Toward a nanomedicine for brain cancer
