A new study finds women who develop breast cancer while pregnant or soon afterwards do not experience any differences in disease severity or likelihood of survival compared to other women with breast cancer. view more (2009-02-09)
TARGETED BONE THERAPY COULD IMPROVE SURVIVAL OUTCOME FOR PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED PROSTATE CANCER (pp 326, 336)
Patients responding to chemotherapy for advanced prostate cancer could have increased survival times if specific therapy is targeted at sites of skeletal metastases, concludes research published in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. Prostate cancer tends to spread to the bones, and there is a direct relation between the extent of bone... view more... (2001-01-31)

Small changes in hospital practice bring significant benefits to rectal cancer patients
Copenhagen, Denmark: Small but important changes in hospital practice during the treatment of rectal cancer can produce significant benefits to patients, according to research from Sweden. Professor Lars P'åhlman, a professor and consultant surgeon at the Department of Surgery at University Hospital Uppsala, Sweden, told delegates at ECCO12... view more... (2003-09-22)
Earlier diagnosis identified as key reason why more US women than Europeans survive breast cancer
The main reason why women diagnosed with breast cancer in the USA have higher survival than those in Europe is that they are diagnosed at an earlier stage, according to findings published today. Previous studies have shown that women in the US have higher breast cancer survival rates than women in Europe but, until now, scientists have been unable... view more... (2003-12-18)
Longer Delays Associated With Better Survival
Patients who experience the longest delay in treatment are more likely to survive, despite the popular assumption that delay has a significant and harmful impact on survival, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers collected data from the case notes of 703 women resident in Scotland who were diagnosed between 1 January 1996 and 31 December... view more... (2002-07-24)
Men with wives, significant others more likely to be screened for prostate cancer
Although the link between early screening and prostate cancer survival is well established, men are less likely to go for early screening unless they have a wife or significant other living with them. view more (2008-12-08)
Scientists identify two key genes linked to aggressive breast cancers
In a new study, scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children and Princess Margaret Hospital have shown that two genes called Notch1 and Jagged1 are linked to more aggressive breast cancers and that patients are less likely to survive the disease when these two genes are highly expressed. view more (2005-09-15)
Treating oft ignored non-cancer health issues after cancer diagnosis prolongs survival
Receiving treatment for non-cancer health issues while being treated by specialists for cancer improves cancer survival rates according to a study published in the December 20 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology. view more (2007-12-28)
Optimal adjuvant radiation therapy associated with improved survival, meta-analysis shows
A new analysis of adjuvant radiation therapy in women with breast cancer following mastectomy is associated with better survival as measured at 10 years when appropriate doses and fields of radiation are used. view more (2006-01-04)
Prostate cancer immunotherapy significantly prolongs survival in men with advanced prostate cancer
Sipuleucel-T (Provenge), an experimental immunotherapy improved survival in men with metastatic disease, according to new results to be presented April 28 at the American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Scientific Meeting in Chicago. view more (2009-04-29)
Laparoscopy For Colon Cancer Could Offer Long-term Survival Benefit Over Conventional Surgery
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that laparoscopy-assisted surgery to treat colon cancer could be more favourable than conventional open surgery, with the potential to reduce operative complications, hospital stay, and increase cancer-related survival in the longer term. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of... view more... (2002-06-26)
Combination Chemotherapy Best Option For Treating Relapsed Ovarian Cancer (p 2099)
Results of a European study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that combination treatment with paclitaxel and platinum-based chemotherapy could result in a modest but important survival benefit for women with relapsing ovarian cancer compared with women treated with platinum-based chemotherapy alone. Ovarian cancer is the fourth most... view more... (2003-06-19)
Health choices predict cancer survival, U-M study finds
Head and neck cancer patients who smoked, drank, didn't exercise or didn't eat enough fruit when they were diagnosed had worse survival outcomes than those with better health habits. view more (2009-04-02)
Lung cancer survival rates may be linked to access to care
New research suggests that the lower survival rates of blacks with lung cancer may be explained by access to care. view more (2006-02-06)
Analysis confirms benefits of combining trastuzumab and chemotherapy
A recent meta-analysis of five major breast cancer trials has confirmed that combination treatment with the antibody trastuzumab and chemotherapy improves survival in women with operable HER-2 positive breast cancer. view more (2007-07-09)
High risk of breast cancer associated with genetic variation in leptin and its receptor
Individuals with either of two genetic variations that lead to high serum levels of the cytokine leptin and to overexpression of leptin in fatty tissue, are more at risk of developing breast cancer than others. view more (2006-02-21)
New method proposed for determining which patients should get treatment for colorectal cancer
A new study being presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting in Chicago (Abstract #4020), may change treatment practice in about 25 percent of patients with colon cancer and is the basis for proposed changes to the way colorectal cancers will be staged. view more (2008-05-19)
Surgery improves survival for prostate cancer patients younger than 50
