Is there any association between COX2 and colon cancer?
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are known to reduce the risk of colon cancer, act directly on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) and reduce its activity. view more (2009-05-22)
Sunlight associated with lower risk of death from breast and colon cancer
Sunlight is associated with a reduced risk of breast and colon cancer, finds research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. view more (2002-04-02)
TNF-alpha antagonist stops inflammation-induced colon cancer in its tracks
Individuals with the inflammatory bowel disease ulcerative colitis are at increased risk of developing colon cancer. New data generated by Naofumi Mukaida and colleagues at Kanazawa University, Japan, identified a central role for the soluble factor TNF-alpha in the development of colon cancer in mice in which inflammation of the bowel was induced... view more...

Popular Magazines Don't Inform Men About Prostate and Colon Cancer Screening
Decisions about screening for prostate and colon cancer require patients to have accurate, balanced information. Unfortunately, men are not getting this information from popular men's magazines. When articles are available, they often do not provide the information necessary for the reader to make an informed decision about screening. view more (2004-09-08)

Uveal melanoma patients at higher risk for colon cancer
Higher Colon Cancer Risk in Uveal Melanoma Patients and Their Relatives Compared to General Population, will be presented by Frederick H. Davidorf, MD, during the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2007 Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. view more (2007-05-09)
Study makes progress in zoning in on biomarkers for better colon cancer treatment
New research has yielded a clearer picture of which biomarkers could help doctors more precisely target the treatment of colon cancer, bringing closer the day when patients who will not benefit from chemotherapy are spared it, while those that will, get the more aggressive treatment they need. view more (2007-09-27)
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)
People who exercise lower their risk of colon cancer
An ambitious new study has added considerable weight to the claim that exercise can lower the risk for colon cancer. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Harvard University combined and analyzed several decades worth of data from past studies on how exercise affects colon cancer risk. view more (2009-02-12)
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)
Molecular studies in cancer of the colon
According to Dr. Jesús García-Foncillas, Director of the Department of Oncology at the University Hospital (University of Navarra), molecular studies in cancer of the colon will contribute to the establishment of more efficient and less toxic treatments. view more (2005-10-24)
Lymph node evaluation linked to improved survival for colon cancer patients
The number of lymph nodes removed and examined for tumor cells appears to be associated with the likelihood of survival after surgery in colon cancer patients. view more (2007-03-21)
May supplementation of docosahexaenoic acid suppress colon tumor cell growth?
Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of death in Western countries. The role of n-3 and n-6 PUFAs in colorectal carcinoma cell growth has not been well studied. It is known that PGE2, generated from AA, is an important factor in the tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer. view more (2009-03-09)
Mayo Clinic study points to a possible biomarker for colon cancer in people 50 and under
An abnormality of chromosomes long associated with diseases of aging has, for the first time, been linked to colon cancer in people 50 years old and younger, an age group usually considered young for this disease. view more (2007-10-29)
Dietary fibre supplements may be harmful
Not all dietary fibre is as good for us as we have been led to believe, says an editorial in Gut. Instead of protecting us from colon cancer, writes Dr Robert Goodlad of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, some fibre and fibre supplements could actually increase our risk of developing the disease, according to recent research. We have become wedded... view more... (2001-04-10)
