Cancer Survival Rates Higher Than Previously Assumed
Conventional estimates for life expectancy after cancer diagnosis have been too pessimistic, suggests a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. There are two main ways of quantifying survival estimates after cancer diagnosis. The conventional method, known as the cohort method, is based on the survival experience of cancer patients whose... view more... (2002-10-09)
Painkillers may threaten power of vaccines
With flu-shot season in full swing and widespread anticipation of the HPV vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, a new University of Rochester study suggests that using common painkillers around the time of vaccination might not be a good idea. view more (2006-11-29)
UK Study Underlines Safety Of Contraceptive Pill For Non-smokers (p 185)
Latest findings from a UK study established 35 years ago to assess the health outcomes for women using the contraceptive pill during the 1970s and 1980s are published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The key finding from the study highlights no increased risk of death from any cause (except cervical cancer) for non-smoking pill users; however... view more... (2003-07-16)
STUDY TO ASSESS PREVALENCE OF CHLAMYDIA INFECTION IN EDINBURGH
Dr Miriam Santer, a Higher Professional Training Fellow in the department, is involving the help of three general practices in Edinburgh to look at the frequency of this common bacterial disease, which can go undetected for months, or even years, in affected patients. Chlamydia causes no symptoms in 70% of women and, left untreated, can lead to... view more... (1999-03-16)
No differences in survival or neonatal outcomes in pregnancy-associated colorectal cancer
In one of the first studies to examine maternal and newborn health risks and colorectal cancer, UC Davis researchers have found that women diagnosed with the disease during or shortly after their pregnancies have the same survival as women who have the disease and are not pregnant. view more (2009-02-27)
New Test For Bowel Cancer Developed
A new test for bowel cancer has been developed by scientists at the Medical Research Council (MRC) and Cancer Research UK. The research team, led by Dr Nick Coleman at the MRC Cancer Cell Unit in Cambridge, and supported by a Cancer Research UK grant, published the findings in this week's The Lancet. The new technique could potentially be used for... view more... (2002-05-30)
HPV vaccine does not appear to be effective for treating pre-existing HPV infection

New study shows potential to treat or prevent viral cancers
A new study, presented at the SNM 55th Annual Meeting, shows that radioimmunotherapy (RIT) targeting viral antigens offers a novel option to treat-or even prevent-many viral cancers by targeting cancer cells expressing viral antigens or infected cells before they convert into malignancy. view more (2008-06-17)
Even in a safety net health system, colorectal cancer screening disparities remain
Colorectal cancer screening rates are much lower among those in a safety net health system compared to the national average, and the number one predictor of screening is a combination of regular visits and insurance access. view more (2009-09-08)
