Wheat bran can double the benefits of a high fibre diet in cancer prevention
The research team studied the intestinal and fecal contents of 24 pigs, because their digestive systems most closely resemble ours. The pigs were fed typical Western style diets, high in refined fats and sugars, and then either had their food supplemented with resistant starchsuch as that found in grains, corn, and potatoor wheat bran, or both. view more (1999-11-15)
Blood pressure drugs associated with reduced risk of esophageal, pancreatic and colon cancers
Thousands of individuals currently taking angiotension converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, a type of medication commonly used to lower blood pressure, may be doing more than treating their hypertension. view more (2006-05-24)
Inflammation in colon may get doused before fueling cancer development
A tiny molecule found in most plant-based foods douses the flames before damaging lesions can form in the colon, according to a study by Texas AgriLife Research scientist Dr. Nancy Turner. view more (2009-02-03)
Reinterpretation of proximal colon polyps called hyperplastic in 2001
Serrated colorectal polyps include the subgroups hyperplastic polyps, sessile serrated polyps (also called sessile serrated adenomas), and serrated adenomas. view more (2009-08-26)
Multicenter study looks at colon polyps
According to a University of Pittsburgh-led study published in the December issue of Gastroenterology, medium-sized polyps found in the colon with flexible sigmoidoscopy and subsequently evaluated by full colonoscopy are associated with a significant number of advanced adenomas (high-risk polyps) and cancers. view more (2006-12-04)
Light shines for potential early cancer diagnosis technique
A team led by a Northwestern University biomedical engineer has developed a new optical technique that holds promise for minimally invasive screening methods for the early diagnosis of cancer. view more (2008-12-11)
Chemotherapy combination outcomes differ for aged, younger colon cancer patients
he combination of chemotherapies 5FU and oxaliplatin compared to 5FU alone after surgery for colon cancer decreases colon cancer recurrence and promotes longer survival for patients under 70 -- but not for those who are older. view more (2009-06-01)
Grape powder blocks genes linked to colon cancer
Low doses of freeze-dried grape powder inhibit genes linked to the development of sporadic colorectal cancer, University of California, Irvine cancer researchers found. view more (2007-11-15)
MDCT using dual energy setting may make CT colonography more 'patient-friendly'
MDCT performed with a dual energy setting may allow enhanced differentiation of polyps from fecal matter in an unprepped colon, meaning patients may be able to skip the uncomfortable colonic preparation before CT colonography. view more (2007-05-07)
What cures your aches might prevent cancer
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center has begun three clinical studies looking at the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to prevent cancer - colon, esophageal or lung. view more (2006-11-30)
'1-hit' event provides new opportunity for colon cancer prevention, say Fox Chase researchers
More than 30 years ago, Alfred Knudson Jr., M.D., Ph.D., revolutionized the field of cancer genetics by showing that a person must lose both their paternal and maternal copies of a particular class of cancer-inhibiting genes, called tumor-suppressor genes, in order to develop cancer. view more (2008-09-15)
1 surgery better than 2 for some colorectal cancer patients
A single surgery to remove cancer from both the colon and the liver to which it has spread may be better in some cases than the current standard treatment of two separate surgeries with chemotherapy in between, according to a study led by Duke University Medical Center researchers. view more (2007-03-19)
Nordic collaboration gives new insights into adjuvant chemotherapy
Denmark, Copenhagen: A major clinical collaboration by Scandinavian cancer specialists has shown that patients with advanced colon cancer could well gain a small but worthwhile improvement in five-year overall survival if they were treated with chemotherapy as well as surgery - provided the drugs were given in optimum conditions and to the most... view more...

Inherited cancer mutation is widespread in America
A gene mutation responsible for the most common form of inherited colon cancer is older and more common than formerly believed, according to a recent study. view more (2008-04-18)
Study confirms colorectal cancer screening should start at age 50
Colorectal adenomas, the precursor polyps in virtually all colorectal cancers, occur infrequently in younger adults, but the rate sharply increases after age 50. view more (2008-09-03)
Smokers, drinkers and men appear to develop colorectal cancer at earlier ages
Alcohol use, tobacco use and male gender are associated with an earlier onset of colorectal cancer and also with location of tumors, findings that could have important implications for screening. view more (2006-03-28)
U-M, Israeli scientists report major advance in search for genes associated with colon cancer
A 10-year study involving thousands of Israeli Jews and Arabs, led by researchers from American and Israeli institutions, has yielded important new information in the search for the genes that make a person more likely to develop colon cancer. view more (2007-07-09)
ASGE urges patients to seek a qualified endoscopist before undergoing a colonoscopy
A study released today in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that colonoscopy is associated with lower death rates from colorectal cancer, however, the procedure missed lesions more often on the right side of the colon versus the left side. view more (2008-12-17)
Surgeons perform first robot-assisted procedures in weight loss, colon and gastric fields
UT Southwestern Medical Center surgeons are the first in North Texas to perform robotically assisted laparoscopic gastric-bypass and colon-resections surgeries. view more (2006-11-29)
Licorice compound offers new cancer prevention strategy
A chemical component of licorice may offer a new approach to preventing colorectal cancer without the adverse side effects of other preventive therapies, Vanderbilt University Medical Center researchers report. view more (2009-03-24)
