Taxol bristle ball: a wrench in the works for cancer
Rice University chemists have discovered a way to load dozens of molecules of the anti-cancer drug paclitaxel onto tiny gold spheres. The result is a tiny ball, many times smaller than a living cell that literally bristles with the drug. view more (2007-09-13)
Scientists use nanomaterials to localize and control drug delivery
Using nanotechnology, scientists from UCLA and Northwestern University have developed a localized and controlled drug delivery method that is invisible to the immune system, a discovery that could provide newer and more effective treatments for cancer and other diseases. view more (2008-01-23)
Synergistic growth inhibitory effect of herbal extracts against HCC and lung cancer cells
Several herbs with diversified pharmacological properties are known to be rich sources of chemical constituents that may have potential for the treatment of several human cancers. Data from the Department of Preclinical Science, Faculty of Medicine, Thammasat University, demonstrates that the growth inhibitory activity of doxorubicin or cisplatin,... view more... (2008-04-30)
Testicular cancer patients may be more at risk from the treatment than the cancer returning
Testicular cancer - cure rates now so high patients may be more at risk from the treatment than the cancer returning say researchers view more (2002-02-23)
Ovarian cancer responds to aspirin derivative with chemo
A new study using ovarian cancer cell lines shows promise in treating the deadly disease by combining the chemotherapy drug cisplatin with an aspirin-like compound to make recurrent cancer cells less resistant to the chemotherapy. view more (2006-02-16)
A safe, well-tolerated, and effective treatment for metastatic esophageal cancer
Metastatic esophageal squamous cell cancer has very poor prognosis. Conventional surgery is considered the most effective treatment, but many cases are inoperable at the time of diagnosis. view more (2009-02-23)
Chemosensitivity of cancer cells depends on their protein dependency
Two different anti-apoptotic proteins support cancer cell survival via an identical mechanism, yet differ in their sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs, report Brunelle et al. The study will be published online October 26, 2009 and in the November 2, 2009 print issue of the Journal of Cell Biology (JCB). view more (2009-10-26)
Herceptin does not increase heart failure in patients long-term
Risk of congestive heart failure in women treated with trastuzumab (Herceptin) and combination chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer did not increase over time according to a five-year follow-up of National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) trial B-31. view more (2007-06-04)
New device could cut chemotherapy deaths
A new method of delivering chemotherapy to cancer patients without incurring side effects such as hair loss and vomiting is being developed. view more (2006-03-31)
Relaxation and hypnotherapy - successful treatments for lymphoma?
A long term study of patients diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has found that those who were given relaxation therapy and hypnotherapy as well as chemotherapy were more likely to survive than those receiving chemotherapy on its own. These are the results of a study by Professor Leslie Walker, of Hull University, and Dr... view more... (2001-03-26)
Herceptin and chemo improves response rates without major adverse effects in HER2 breast cancer
Women with a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer seem to do better if they are treated with a combined anthracycline and taxane chemotherapy regimen before surgery, together with trastuzumab (Herceptin) before and after surgery, according to results from the largest multi-centre trial to investigate this treatment. view more (2008-04-18)
New multi-use device can shed light on oxygen intake
A fiber-optic sensor created by a team of Purdue University researchers that is capable of measuring oxygen intake rates could have broad applications ranging from plant root development to assessing the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs. view more (2009-09-23)
HER2 levels may aid in treatment selection for metastatic breast cancer
Findings published in the December 1, 2008, issue of Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, show lapatinib benefits women with HER2-positive breast cancer, while women with HER2-negative breast cancer or those who express EGRF alone derive no incremental benefit. view more (2008-12-03)
Anti-psychotic drugs could help fight cancer
The observation that people taking medication for schizophrenia have lower cancer rates than other people has prompted new research revealing that anti-psychotic drugs could help treat some major cancers. view more (2009-08-12)
Pediatric study finds alternatives for radiation of low-grade brain tumors
A multi-institutional study led by researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center has found that using chemotherapy alone and delaying or avoiding cranial radiation altogether can be effective in treating pediatric patients with unresectable or progressive low-grade glioma. view more (2008-10-07)
Treatment method improves survival for advanced laryngeal cancer, U-M study finds
Chemotherapy and radiation can be effective at treating cancer of the larynx, or voice box, without removing the organ that controls speech and swallowing. But it doesn't work for everyone. view more (2006-02-01)
Gene chip data improved therapy in some patients with incurable cancer
Like many oncologists, Eric P. Lester, M.D., was faced with a dilemma: seven patients with advanced, incurable cancer, an arsenal of drugs that may or may not help them, and not enough solid proof about treatment efficacy to guide him. view more (2007-09-20)
New genomic test can personalize breast cancer treatment
A set of 50 genes can be used to reliably identify the four known types of breast cancer, according to research conducted at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and collaborating institutions. view more (2009-02-10)
