Bisphosphonate drugs reduce the risk of broken bones in breast cancer patients
Bisphosphonate drugs reduce the risk of bone complications when used in patients whose cancer has spread to the bone, according to a new study in the BMJ. view more (2003-08-29)
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)
Cholesterol levels and use of lipid-lowering drugs are not associated with breast cancer risk
Cholesterol levels and use of statins or other lipid-lowering drugs are not associated with breast cancer risk, according to a study in the October 24 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2005-10-25)
Cholesterol-lowering drugs not associated with reduced colorectal cancer risk
Use of cholesterol reducing drugs is not associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer, according to a study in the January 4 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute . view more (2006-01-04)
Scientists can now differentiate between healthy cells and cancer cells
One of the current handicaps of cancer treatments is the difficulty of aiming these treatments at destroying malignant cells without killing healthy cells in the process. view more (2009-01-06)
Promising advance in breast cancer research
Two new drugs, when combined, killed up to 75 percent of breast cancer tumor cells in mice and suppressed the regrowth of tumors, according to researchers at the Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center. view more (2005-11-15)
A fundamentally new approach to improving cancer chemotherapy
A new strategy for getting anti-cancer drugs to kill cancer cells, without causing serious harm to normal cells in the body, is reported in the current [June] issue of ACS Chemical Biology, a monthly peer-reviewed journal of the American Chemical Society. view more (2006-06-06)
Synthetic molecules hold promise for new family of anti-cancer drugs
Synthetic molecules designed by two Hebrew University of Jerusalem researchers have succeeded in reducing and even eliminating the growth of human malignant tissues in mice, while having no toxic effects on normal tissue. view more (2008-06-05)
Stem cells as cancer therapy
It is widely hoped that neural stem cells will eventually be useful for replacing nerves damaged by degenerative diseases like Alzheimer disease and multiple sclerosis. But there may also be another use for such stem cells-delivering anti-cancer drugs to cancer cells. view more (2006-12-26)
Cell skeleton may hold key to overcoming drug resistance in cancer
Researchers have uncovered a new way in which a cell protein protects cancer cells from a wide range of chemotherapeutic drugs, identifying a possible target for improving treatment outcomes for patients. view more (2007-10-04)
Quest for better breast cancer drugs
Breast cancer sufferers could eventually benefit from high-tuned, tailor-made drug treatments that minimise side effects as a result of a joint initiative between computer scientists in Edinburgh and cellular biologists in Japan. view more (2006-11-28)
Harnessing Microbes to Kill Cancer
An ingenious new way to attack cancer tumours is being developed by medical researchers from Nottingham as part of an EU consortium, the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Meeting in Edinburgh heard today, Tuesday 8 April 2003. The problem with powerful anti-cancer drugs is that they kill healthy cells too, and concentrations needed to wipe... view more... (2003-04-02)
Study reveals mechanism for cancer-drug resistance
Using the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered a mechanism by which cancer cells become resistant to a specific class of drugs. view more (2006-10-10)
Why cisplatin kills breast cancer cells when other drugs fail
The cancerous cells of some individuals with breast cancer lack expression of two cell surface proteins, the estrogen and progesterone receptors, and do not express increased amounts of HER2. view more (2007-04-20)
Bacteria could make new library of cancer drugs that are too complex to create artificially
Researchers at the University of Warwick are examining a way of using bacteria to manufacture a new suite of potential anti-cancer drugs that are difficult to create synthetically on a lab bench. view more (2006-11-01)
Revolution in the fight against cancer & viruses
A recent scientific discovery could herald the introduction of fast, effective treatments for cancer and viruses. view more (2006-05-26)
Anti-psychotic drugs could help fight cancer
The observation that people taking medication for schizophrenia have lower cancer rates than other people has prompted new research revealing that anti-psychotic drugs could help treat some major cancers. view more (2009-08-12)
JDRF funded research shows promise for prevention, reversal of type 1 diabetes
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco have reported that two common cancer drugs have been used to block and reverse type 1 diabetes in mice. view more (2008-11-19)
Computers worldwide speed search for anti-smallpox drugs
A major computer project has been launched today to analyse millions of different chemicals in the search for drugs to combat the bioterrorist threat of smallpox. The smallpox research project will use the 'screensaver downtime' donated by up to two million computer users worldwide to screen 35 million compounds and identify those most likely to... view more...

New biomarker predicts effectiveness of breast cancer drugs
University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers have identified a new way to predict when anti-estrogen drug therapies are inappropriate for patients with hormone-dependent breast cancer. view more (2006-12-08)
