Toward a nanomedicine for brain cancer
In an advance toward better treatments for the most serious form of brain cancer, scientists in Illinois are reporting development of the first nanoparticles that seek out and destroy brain cancer cells without damaging nearby healthy cells. view more (2009-09-10)
HtrA1 and resistance to chemotherapy in ovarian and gastric cancers
While many cancer patients initially have a favorable response to chemotherapy for the treatment of solid tumors, resistance to treatment often develops. view more (2006-06-09)
Genes set scene for metastasis
Biologists at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) have identified a set of genes expressed in human breast cancer cells that work together to remodel the network of blood vessels at the site of the primary tumor. view more (2007-04-12)
Scientists discover that metastases share a similar genetic profile to their primary tumour
Hamburg, Germany: Work by scientists in The Netherlands has contradicted the notion that breast cancer metastases behave differently to their primary tumours. PhD student, Britta Weigelt told the meeting of the 4th European Breast Cancer Conference today (Thursday 18 March) that, contrary to what had been thought previously, any primary breast... view more...

Researchers Discover New Method to Treat Cancer
Research at Oxford University's Institute of Molecular Medicine has identified a novel therapeutic regimen for the treatment of cancer that provides significant advantages over the existing methods of cancer treatment. There are already a number of regimens available for treatment of cancer, including chemotherapy, which is commonly used to treat... view more... (2003-03-20)
Studies Examine Menopausal Hormone Therapy and Risk of Breast Cancer Recurrence
The doses of estrogen and progestogen used in menopausal hormone therapy may be related to the risk of breast cancer recurrence, according to a new study in the April 6 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. In 1997, two randomized trials, the Hormonal Replacement Therapy-Is It Safe? (HABITS) trial and the Stockholm trial, began... view more... (2005-04-06)
PET-CT highly accurate for detecting ovarian cancer recurrence
The accuracy of PET-CT for detecting recurrent ovarian cancer is high, more accurate even than either CT or PET alone, says a new study by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. view more (2006-05-02)
Discovery in worms by Queen's researchers points to more targeted cancer treatment
Researchers at Queen's University have found a link between two genes involved in cancer formation in humans, by examining the genes in worms. The groundbreaking discovery provides a foundation for how tumor-forming genes interact, and may offer a drug target for cancer treatment. view more (2009-11-11)
Patients' pretreatment quality of life can predict overall lung cancer survival
Research published in the September 2009 issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology has found that an individual's quality of life prior to treatment can help predict the overall survival of patients with advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). view more (2009-09-03)
Study finds 231 new genes associated with head and neck cancer
A Henry Ford Hospital study has identified 231 new genes associated with head and neck cancer, one of the most deadly cancers responsible for 2.1 percent of all cancer deaths in the United States. view more (2009-10-05)
Order of chemotherapy, radiation has no effect on breast cancer survival
For women who have had surgery for early breast cancer, it may not matter whether they receive follow-up chemotherapy before, after or during radiation therapy, according to a new review of studies. view more (2006-10-31)
Anaemia Treatment Could Worsen Cancer Prognosis (p1255)
Results of a European study in this week's issue of THE LANCET cast doubt over the value of treating anaemia with erythropoietin (epoetin beta) among patients who have cancer. Results of the study show that anaemic patients fare better in terms of reduced cancer progression and increased survival if their anaemia is not treated around the time of... view more...

Researchers say estrogen can kill breast cancer cells once fueled by the hormone
Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers say some breast cancer cells once fueled by estrogen can be killed by the same hormone. view more (2005-12-07)
Integrated approach to radiation therapy provides quality care for cancer patients
Results from a University of Pittsburgh study demonstrate that intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) can be uniformly delivered in a large health care system of academic and community cancer centers through a centralized planning and treatment process. view more (2006-11-08)
