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)
Improving understanding of cell behaviour in breast cancer
The invasion and spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body, known as metastasis, is a principal cause of death in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. view more (2008-07-16)
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)
New Way To Predict The Spread Of Skin Cancer
A new way of predicting whether skin cancers will spread to other organs is published this week in the British Journal of Cancer. This means that resources can be concentrated on those patients most in need of close follow up, and lead to earlier detection of the cancer spreading. Malignant melanomas result in 1,600 deaths a year in the UK due to... view more... (2004-02-10)
Scientists discover how body fights to control spread of cancer
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found how two molecules fight in the blood to control the spread of cancer cells. view more (2007-01-09)
New radiation technique helps brain cancer patients keep their hair
Patients whose cancer has spread to the brain can avoid typical hair loss (alopecia) when treated with newer radiation techniques, thereby improving their quality of life while still controlling their cancer. view more (2005-10-17)
Sentinel lymph node biopsy is associated with breast cancer rates
The incidence of some early stage metastatic breast cancers is increasing, but this finding is likely explained by changes in clinical practice, according to a study published online June 26 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2007-06-27)
Scientists discover new gene responsible for spread of cancer
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have identified a new gene that causes the spread of cancer. view more (2006-03-29)
Early breast cancer tends to be more aggressive in women from deprived backgrounds
Women from deprived backgrounds who develop early breast cancer tend to have tumours that are more likely to be aggressive and to spread, according to data analysed at the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow, UK and reported at the 3rd European Breast Cancer Conference in Barcelona on Thursday 21 March. Miss Catherine Sharp, a Senior House... view more... (2002-03-19)
MRI findings help forecast prostate cancer prognosis
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in patients about to undergo radiation therapy for prostate cancer can help predict the likelihood that the cancer will return and spread post-treatment, according to a new study published in the April issue of the journal Radiology. view more (2008-03-25)
MRI more accurately determines cancer spread into breast ducts
MRI is better than MDCT for determining if and how far breast cancer has spread into the breast ducts and should be used before patients receive breast conserving therapy, a new study shows. view more (2006-09-05)
Radiation after surgery doubles survival time for some lung cancer patients
Patients with lung cancer that has spread to mediastinal lymph nodes - located between the chest, breastbone and spine - who receive radiation after surgery and chemotherapy live twice as long as patients who do not receive radiation after surgery. view more (2006-11-07)
Radiation therapy technique successfully treats pain in patients with advanced cancer
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), a radiation therapy procedure pioneered at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI) that precisely delivers a large dose of radiation to tumors, effectively controls pain in patients with cancer that has spread to the spine. view more (2009-11-04)
Deakin University research finds rogue cells that could cause spread of breast cancer
Stephanie Lebret completed the study for her PhD at Deakin's Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology under the supervision of Associate Professor Leigh Ackland. view more (2007-06-14)
Dietary calcium could possibly prevent the spread of breast cancer to bone
A strong skeleton is less likely to be penetrated by metastasizing cancer cells, so a fortified glass of milk might be the way to block cancer's spread. view more (2007-10-03)
Bowel cancer sufferers at risk of developing other unrelated cancers faster than expected
Bowel cancer sufferers are at increased risk of developing other completely different cancers at a higher rate than would be expected, finds a study in Gut. And this excludes recurrence of, or spread (metastasis) from, the original tumour. view more (2002-04-09)
A diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer doesn't always mean cancer spread
Triple-negative breast cancers are a heterogeneous group and may not always be associated with lymph node spread, a new study shows. view more (2008-04-14)
University to develop new therapeutics for cancer
Dr Roger Barraclough, from the School of Biological Sciences, is working on a new protein which causes some cancer cells to spread around the body. This protein is being developed to assist in improving the management of breast cancer. view more (2006-07-28)
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)
New Discovery Raises Doubts About Use of Certain Targeted Therapies in Bladder Cancer
Researchers at the University of Virginia Health System have found that one of the genes commonly thought to promote the growth and spread of some types of cancers is in fact beneficial in bladder cancer - a major discovery that could significantly alter the way bladder cancers are treated in the future. view more (2009-03-26)
