EARLY DETECTION OF LUNG CANCER POSSIBLE WITH CAT AND PET SCANS (pp 588, 593)
Issue 23 August 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 22 August 2003. Preliminary results from a European study in this week's issue of THE LANCET show that combined use of spiral computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tamography (PET) scanning can reliably detect early lung cancer. Authors of the study suggest that use of these imaging... view more... (2003-08-20)
PSA screening may be biased against obese men, leading to more aggressive cancers
Testing men for elevated levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood -- the gold standard screening test for prostate cancer -- may be biased against obese men, whose PSA levels tend to be deceptively low. view more (2008-08-11)
U.S. trial shows no early mortality benefit from annual prostate cancer screening
The prostate cancer screening tests that have become an annual ritual for many men don't appear to reduce deaths from the disease among those with a limited life-expectancy, according to early results of a major U.S. study involving 75,000 men. view more (2009-03-19)
Scientists find a way to detect which breast abnormalities may develop into cancer
Scientists at the Royal Liverpool University Hospitals in the UK have found a way of testing whether certain abnormalities in a woman's breast are likely to go on to develop into breast cancer, the 3rd European Breast Cancer Conference in Barcelona heard today (Wednesday 20 March). Armed with information from the test, doctors could then consider... view more... (2002-03-18)
Case Western Reserve University researchers identify colorectal cancer gene
Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine researchers published a study in the March 7th issue of The American Journal of Human Genetics identifying the hereditary components of colorectal cancer (CRC.) "Identification of Susceptibility Genes for Cancer in a Genome-wide Scan: Results from the Colon Neoplasia Sibling Study" is... view more... (2008-03-10)
Smoking can double risk of colorectal polyps
Smokers have a two-fold increased risk of developing colorectal polyps, the suspected underlying cause of most colorectal cancers (CRC), according to a study published in Gastroenterology, the official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute. view more (2008-02-04)
No Magic: Catalysts from the Cylinder
The Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) has further developed its catalyst screening reactor for heterogenously catalytical applications. The new cylindrical shape of the stainless steel screening reactor (Catalyst Testing Micro Reactor CTMR) allows test temperatures of up to 800° C, 300° C higher than its predecessor.... view more...

Vaccination and testing for the human papilloma virus could eradicate cervical cancer
Cervical cancer could be eradicated within the next 50 years if countries implement national screening programmes based on detection of the human papilloma virus (HPV), which causes the disease, together with vaccination programmes against the virus, according to a cervical cancer screening expert. view more (2009-09-24)
Is CT-colonoscopy a valuable tool to detect colorectal cancer?
CTC (virtual colonoscopy) is a thin slice CT scan of the abdomen after adequate bowel preparation and colon insufflation in which data are reconstructed providing axial, multiplanar, and endoluminal views, in order to visualize internal colonic wall. view more (2008-10-13)
Colon cancer proteins show promise for blood test
Searching for less invasive screening tests for cancer, Johns Hopkins scientists have discovered proteins present in blood that accurately identify colon cancer and precancerous polyps. view more (2007-06-18)
Improved DNA stool test could detect digestive cancers in multiple organs
Mayo Clinic researchers have demonstrated that a noninvasive screening test can detect not only colorectal cancer but also the common cancers above the colon -- including pancreas, stomach, biliary and esophageal cancers. view more (2009-06-02)
Johns Hopkins develops pancreas cancer risk model
People with a family history of pancreas cancer now have a way to accurately predict their chance of carrying a gene for hereditary pancreas cancer and their lifetime risk of developing the disease. view more (2007-04-17)
Protein expression holds promise for head and neck cancer detection
The blood of patients with head and neck cancer appears to have unique patterns of protein expression that one day could serve as a screening test for the highly aggressive cancer that is often diagnosed too late, researchers say. view more (2006-05-11)
Protein thought to promote cancer instead functions as a tumor suppressor, researchers report
A protein previously thought to promote colorectal cancer instead suppresses the growth of human cancer cells in culture, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2008-07-08)
Men need to know more about cancer
Clare Moynihan and colleagues at the Institute of Cancer Research in Sutton, Surrey reported their research today, Thursday 2 September, at The British Psychological Society's Division of Health Psychology Annual Conference, in Leeds. They interviewed men about their knowledge of prostate and testicular cancer. This included men with cancer, their... view more... (1999-08-20)
Breast cancer risk varies significantly among BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers
There is a broad variation in the risk of developing breast cancer among people who carry the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutation, according to a study in the January 9/16 issue of JAMA. view more (2008-01-09)
Parents need to be educated about HPV vaccinations for daughters
Parents of young girls may soon be offered the opportunity to have their daughters immunised against a sexually transmitted virus that is the major cause of cervical cancer, the 4th International Conference on Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Medicine heard today. view more (2006-03-30)
Survival rates appear lower for scalp and neck melanoma than for other sites
Individuals with melanoma on their scalp or neck appear less likely to survive for five or 10 years than those with melanoma at other sites, according to a report in the April issue of Archives of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-04-22)
Study points to possibility of blood test to detect lung cancer
A test for four blood proteins may provide a less-invasive follow-up for patients who have suspicious lesions on chest radiographs or computerized tomography (CT) scans, according to a new study led by Duke University Medical Center researchers. view more (2007-12-10)
Gene elevating breast cancer risk also causes prostate cancer
Cancer is a complex and common disease caused by a combination of both genetic and environmental factors. An inherited predisposition seems to be involved in at least 5-10 per cent of all cases of breast cancer. view more (2007-02-09)
