New Herceptin results confirm impressive reduction in risk of cancer returning
New Herceptin results confirm impressive reduction in risk of cancer returning in women with aggressive form of early-stage breast cancer. view more (2005-09-14)
Researchers identify key gene that may be a marker of breast cancer metastasis
Researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center have identified an important gene involved in the spread of breast cancer that has developed resistance to long-term estrogen deprivation. view more (2007-04-19)
Candidate markers for gastric cancer
The sequencing of the human genome has opened the door for proteomics by providing a sequence-based framework for mining proteomes. view more (2008-10-29)
OHSU Cancer Institute researchers find novel chemo drug helps treat prostate cancer
Men with a certain type of prostate cancer have been shown to respond to a new chemotherapy drug, Sagopilone, plus prednisone in an international trial led by Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers. view more (2008-06-02)
New evidence finds no association between coffee consumption and risk of colorectal cancer
There is no association between coffee consumption and risk of colorectal cancer, finds new evidence in Gut, despite previous studies suggesting a protective effect of coffee consumption. This presumption may be premature, report the authors. Paul Terry and colleagues examined data from over 61, 000 Swedish women aged 40-74 years - the largest... view more... (2001-06-14)
Inhibiting cell process may give cancer drug a boost
A molecule that interferes with the internal scaffolding that shapes the cell may kill cancer cells, retard the growth of tumors and give a boost to a common chemotherapy drug. view more (2006-05-04)
Cancer widows are often emotionally isolated
Many Swedish men have no one to turn to for emotional support other than their partners, not even in particularly traumatic situations, such as when suffering from cancer. However, according to new research, the partners of cancer patients also often lack support outside the relationship. view more (2008-04-10)
Fatty diet does not increase risk of skin cancer
Eating fatty food does not appear to increase the risk of skin cancer. A study published today in the open access journal BMC Cancer contradicts previous research that showed a link between high fat intake and certain types of skin cancer. view more (2006-05-30)
Shedding light on cancer cells
Scientists label cells with coloured or glowing chemicals to observe how basic cellular activities differ between healthy and cancerous cells. Existing techniques for labelling cells are either too slow or too toxic to perform on live cells. view more (2009-09-25)
New study focuses on radiation-associated cancer risks
Concerns about the risk of radiation-induced cancer are growing with the increasing number of cancer patients surviving long term. view more (2007-01-12)
New Chemo Cocktail Blocks Breast Cancer Like a Fence
Think of a protective fence that blocks the neighbor's dog from charging into your backyard. The body, too, has fences -- physical and biochemical barriers that keep cells in their place. view more (2009-10-07)
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)
Convincing results: Stopping the spread of cancer in the body
A team of Danish researchers have discovered that by blocking a specific enzyme, it is possible to check the spread of cancer in the body. This finding may be the first step towards preventing deaths due to cancer spreading to other parts of the body. The discovery may also help reduce the amount of chemotherapy used. view more (2004-11-22)
Helicobacter pylori inhibits intercellular communication of cultured gastric cells
The formation of a cancer is proven to be a multi-stage, multi-mechanism process by animal and human studies. As a definite carcinogen, the role of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) in the formation of gastric cancer has been unclear. view more (2007-10-29)
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 Confirms Value Of Family-history Knowledge For Young Women With Breast Cancer (p 1101)
A UK study published as a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights the importance of detailed family-history knowledge to help identify women with pathogenic gene mutations for breast cancer. Women who carry mutations of BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 genes have a much higher lifetime risk of breast cancer-up to 80%-compared with... view more... (2003-03-26)
Analysis of breast and colon cancer genes finds many areas of differences between tumors
Researchers from University Hospitals (UH) Ireland Cancer Center and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine are part of a new national study that has analyzed more than 18,000 genes, including 5,000 previously unmapped genes, from breast and colorectal tumors. view more (2007-10-12)
Largest PSA bounce study eases worry of prostate cancer returning
Prostate cancer patients who have a temporary rise in their prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels after radiation therapy-called a PSA bounce-are not at an increased risk of their cancer coming back any more than those who don't have a temporary rise. view more (2006-11-09)
Aromatase inhibitors: A treatment of choice for advanced breast cancer patients
Aromatase inhibitors improve the survival of advanced breast cancer patients compared to standard hormone therapies like tamoxifen. view more (2006-09-20)
Scientists develop screening method for pancreatic cancer
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found a way of identifying families at high risk of pancreatic cancer. view more (2005-09-21)
