Drugs used for cancer-associated anemia linked with increased risk of blood clots, death
Treating anemia with a class of drugs known as erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (blood clots in the deep veins of the legs or in the lungs) and death among patients with cancer. view more (2008-02-27)
Stopping germs from ganging up on humans
Keeping germs from cooperating can delay the evolution of drug resistance more effectively than killing germs one by one with traditional drugs such as antibiotics, according to new research from The University of Arizona in Tucson. view more (2008-11-20)
UNC scientists identify growth factor as possible cancer drug target
To grow and spread, tumors need new blood vessels, a process called angiogenesis. view more (2009-06-10)
Drug addiction treatment sees drop in success rate
The proportion of drug users who completed treatment for drug addiction decreased between 1998 and 2002, although the overall number of drug users who entered treatment increased. view more (2006-08-11)
Enzyme may hold key to improved targeting of cancer-fighting drugs
A critical enzyme used to prepare a powerful cancer-killing agent may be able to help drug makers better target the cells the natural product attacks, according to findings published in the May 23 edition of the Journal of Biological Chemistry. view more (2008-05-30)
Drug that chokes off tumor blood vessels offers new hope to lung cancer patients
Patients suffering from the most common type of lung cancer experienced a 20-percent improvement in overall survival in a national clinical trial of a drug that chokes off the blood vessels nourishing tumors, a multicenter study has found. view more (2006-12-14)
U of I scientist develops enzyme inhibitor that may slow cancer growth
University of Illinois scientist Tim Garrow, in collaboration with Jiri Jiracek of the Czech Academy of Sciences, has applied for a provisional patent on a class of chemicals that has future therapeutic uses in medicine, specifically cancer treatment. view more (2006-07-07)
Experimental anti-cancer synthetic molecule targets tumor cell growth and angiogenesis
A recent study conducted by three French CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) laboratories describes a new candidate anti-cancer drug, named HB-19. view more (2008-06-18)
Gene Test Could Reduce Unnecessary Treatment For Women With Breast Cancer (pp 340, 362)
In this week's issue of THE LANCET, US researchers describe how gene expression profiles could determine whether or not women with breast cancer would respond to docetaxel treatment. Women who are likely to be resistant to the drug could be given alternative treatment. Chemotherapy or hormonal treatment after surgery for breast cancer is crucial... view more... (2003-07-30)
Secrets of cellular signaling shed light on new cancer stem cell therapies
By revealing the inner workings of a common cell-to-cell signaling system, University of Michigan biologists have uncovered new clues about mysterious and contentious creatures called cancer stem cells. view more (2008-04-10)
The Lancet Oncology and The Lancet Infectious Diseases
THE LANCET ONCOLOGY THE TRUE COST OF A NUCLEAR DETERRENT This month’s editorial covers the recent leaked report from the US Department of Health and Disease Control, showing the patterns of nuclear fallout across the US resulting from Cold War testing. The editorial discusses the impact of these data on cancer incidence and the worldwide... view more... (2002-03-27)
Taxol bristle ball: a wrench in the works for cancer
Rice University chemists have discovered a way to load dozens of molecules of the anti-cancer drug paclitaxel onto tiny gold spheres. The result is a tiny ball, many times smaller than a living cell that literally bristles with the drug. view more (2007-09-13)
Letrozole following tamoxifen may benefit women with breast cancer
Switching to the drug letrozole following 5 years of treatment with tamoxifen reduces the risk of hormone-dependent breast cancer recurrence, but not overall survival, among postmenopausal women. view more (2005-09-07)
New algorithm matches any tumor cells to best possible anti-cancer treatments
Cancer patients don't have time to waste. Many go through several different treatments, however, to find one that is more effective against their particular type of tumor. view more (2007-07-24)
Approved lymphoma drug shows promise in early tests against bone cancer
A drug already approved for the treatment of lymphoma may also slow the growth of the most deadly bone cancer in children and teens, according to an early-stage study published online today in the International Journal of Cancer. view more (2009-11-06)
US researchers show cottonseed drug is cancer treatment booster - patient trials now planned
New research has opened up the prospect that gossypol - a drug refined from cottonseed oil and previously tried and abandoned as a male contraceptive - could boost the effectiveness of treatment for prostate tumours and possibly other common cancers as well. view more (2004-09-29)
Duke develops nano-scale drug delivery for chemotherapy
Going smaller could bring better results, especially when it comes to cancer-fighting drugs. view more (2009-11-02)
Information about the use and accuracy of breast cancer tests is lacking, study finds
A new study finds that there is little information available about the use of new testing technologies and targeted therapies in breast cancer, specifically the anti-cancer drug trastuzumab (Herceptin). view more (2009-09-14)
UCSB researchers develop drug delivery system using nanoparticles and lasers
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have developed a new way to deliver drugs into cancer cells by exposing them briefly to a non-harmful laser. view more (2009-09-10)
New cancer drug test promises safer and more effective clinical trials
A group of scientists from Hamburg may have taken a big step towards more effective cancer drug development. view more (2009-09-23)
