Scientists uncover new key to the puzzle of hormone therapy and breast cancer
The use of postmenopausal hormone therapy has decreased over time in the United States, which researchers suggest may play a key role in the declining rate of atypical ductal hyperplasia, a known risk factor for breast cancer. view more (2009-11-09)
Cetuximab with radiotherapy does not increase side effects for head and neck cancer patients
The addition of Cetuximab (brand name Erbitux) to radiation therapy treatments does not increase the rate or duration of some side effects in the treatment of advanced head and neck cancers. view more (2007-01-19)
Chemo-radiation before prostate removal may prevent cancer recurrence
Researchers in the Oregon Health & Science University Knight Cancer Institute and the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center have found a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy given before prostate removal is safe and may have the potential to reduce cancer recurrence and improve patient survival. view more (2009-11-05)
Study first: Over-expression of Cox-2 can predict prostate cancer outcome
Researchers say an over-expression of COX-2 in men with prostate cancer is associated with an increase in PSA after radiation treatment and the spread of the cancer outside of the prostate. view more (2006-11-09)
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)
Penn researchers identify new combination therapy that promotes cancer cell death
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine identified a combination therapy as a way to sensitize resistant human cancer cells to a treatment currently being tested in clinical trials. view more (2007-07-17)
Targeted nanoparticles incorporating siRNA offer promise for cancer treatment
The use of targeted nanoparticles offers promising techniques for cancer treatment. Researchers in the laboratory of Mark E. Davis at the California Institute of Technology have been using small interfering RNA (siRNA), sometimes known as silencing RNA, to "silence" specific genes that are implicated in certain malignancies. view more (2007-05-21)
Women with breast cancer have less dermatitis when treated with IMRT
All women treated with radiation therapy for breast cancer are at risk of developing dermatitis-a sometimes-painful skin condition caused by radiation as it makes its way through the skin to the tumor area and tissue within the breast. view more (2007-10-29)
LA BioMed study finds hormone therapy increases frequency of abnormal mammograms, breast biopsies
Combined hormone therapy appears to increase the risk that women will have abnormal mammograms and breast biopsies, and it may decrease the effectiveness of both methods for detecting breast cancer. view more (2008-02-26)
Some radiation therapy treatments can decrease fertility
In female cancer patients of reproductive age, radiation treatment directly to the ovaries should be avoided because there is a direct relationship between certain types of radiation therapy and fertility problems. view more (2009-04-02)
Denosumab increases bone density, cuts fracture risk in prostate cancer survivors
Twice-yearly treatment with denosumab, a new targeted therapy to stop bone loss, increased bone density and prevented spinal fractures in men receiving androgen-deprivation therapy for prostate cancer. view more (2009-08-11)
High-dose radiation reduces risk of prostate cancer recurrence
Men with localized prostate cancer who received high-dose external radiation therapy were less likely to have cancer recurrence than men who received conventional-dose radiation therapy. view more (2005-09-14)
OHSU researchers discover protein fragment that helps predict breast cancer outcome
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have identified a protein fragment in some human breast cancers that may help predict a patient's chances of survival. view more (2006-01-16)
New treatment hope for prostate cancer
Scientists at Melbourne's Burnet Institute have developed a potential new treatment for patients with prostate cancer. An article, which described the invention, has recently been published in the prestigious international journal The Journal of Clinical Investigation. view more (2009-02-06)
Survivors of childhood leukemia, brain tumors more at risk for strokes later in life
Children who are successfully treated for brain tumors or leukemia are more likely to have strokes later in life, according to new research from UT Southwestern Medical Center. view more (2006-11-20)
Synthetic molecule causes cancer cells to self-destruct
Scientists have found a way to trick cancer cells into committing suicide. The novel technique potentially offers an effective method of providing personalized anti-cancer therapy. view more (2006-08-28)
Predicting the return of prostate cancer: New Johns Hopkins study betters the odds of success
Cancer experts at Johns Hopkins say a study tracking 774 prostate cancer patients for a median of eight years has shown that a three-way combination of measurements has the best chance yet of predicting disease metastasis. view more (2009-07-02)
Precision radiation therapy yields rare success for liver tumors
Shaped-beam radiation therapy is a promising treatment for life-threatening metastatic liver tumors, according to researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center who report an 88 percent success rate for controlling the lesions. view more (2005-10-20)
Breast cancer patients may benefit from new accelerated treatment
Women with early-stage breast cancer may benefit from a new, accelerated approach to radiation therapy making their course of treatment shorter. view more (2006-11-01)
Prodrug could help curb skin toxicity related to EGFR-inhibiting cancer drugs
There may be a way around the harsh skin toxicity associated with a widely used cancer drug, according to a study published online this week in Cancer Biology and Therapy by researchers from City of Hope and the Kimmel Cancer at Jefferson. view more (2009-09-02)
