1 in 10 advanced colon cancer patients worry about prescription drug costs
The vast majority of advanced colon cancer patients in a clinical trial were not concerned about the cost of prescription drugs for managing chemotherapy side effects, such as infection, pain and nausea and few adopted strategies to reduce drug cost burdens after joining the clinical trial. view more (2009-06-01)
Environmental manganese good in trace amounts but can correlate to cancer rates
In the first ecological study of its kind in the world, a Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center researcher has uncovered the unique finding that groundwater and airborne manganese in North Carolina correlates with cancer mortality at the county level. view more (2009-07-13)
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)
A new gene for familial cancer was found
A research group at the University of Helsinki, Finland, has found a gene defect that causes hereditary colorectal cancer and defects in dentition. The finding was published online on March 23 in the American Journal of Human Genetics. The groups led by professors Sinikka Pirinen and Irma Thesleff at the Institute of Dentistry and Institute of... view more... (2004-03-26)
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)
Can pathological techniques help identify primary colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma?
Primary colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma is a rare but distinctive malignancy of the large bowel. More than 96% of signet ring cell carcinomas arise in the stomach, with the rest arising from other primary organs. view more (2008-05-21)
Genetic analysis enables personalising of treatment of cancer of the lung and colon and of certain sarcomas
Genetic analysis has enabled the personalising of the pharmaceutical treatment of patients with cancer, enhancing thereby therapeutic efficacy and minimising possible toxicity. view more (2007-03-06)
COX-2 Inhibitors Significantly Reduce Risk of Cancer
Results from a new, five-year study show that regular use of popular prescription pain relievers may reduce the risk of breast cancer by up to 71 percent and may offer similar benefit in the prevention of prostate, colon and lung cancers. view more (2006-04-04)
Early Promise Of Non-Invasive Test For Colorectal Cancer (p 403)
A fast-track research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describes how the detection of a specific mutation in faecal DNA could be a reliable method for identifying a subset of proximal colorectal cancers. If successful, the new assessment, when combined with sigmoidoscopy or other DNA-based tests, could be advantageous over more difficult... view more... (2002-01-30)
Gene packaging tells story of cancer development
To decipher how cancer develops, Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center investigators say researchers must take a closer look at the packaging. view more (2008-12-05)
Regular, moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise significantly reduces markers of increased colon-cancer risk in men
Regular, moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise significantly reduces a risk factor associated with the formation of colon polyps and colon cancer in men. view more (2006-09-13)
Cancer death rates dropping among African Americans but survival rates still low
While death rates from cancer continue to drop among African Americans, the group continues to be diagnosed at more advanced stages and have lower survival rates at each stage of diagnosis compared to whites for most cancer sites. view more (2009-02-18)
PPAR-g agonists have potential therapeutic role in gastric carcinoma?
Recently, the potential of PPAR-γ as a target for the prevention and treatment of cancer has been widely studied. view more (2009-08-27)
Colon cancer proteins show promise for blood test
Searching for less invasive screening tests for cancer, Johns Hopkins scientists have discovered proteins present in blood that accurately identify colon cancer and precancerous polyps. view more (2007-06-18)
A rare diagnosis in the operation room: Kidney atrophy due to duplicated colon in an adult
Gastrointestinal congenital anomalies are rare entities in an adult patient. Commonly they are located in the upper gastrointestinal system and present with intestinal symptoms such as bleeding, obstruction and/or perforation of the intestine. view more (2008-02-22)
Minimally Invasive Surgery Shown Safe and Effective Treatment for Rectal Cancer
Laparoscopic surgery has been used in the treatment of intestinal disorders for close to 20 years, but its benefits have only recently begun to be extended to people with rectal cancer. view more (2009-11-11)
Alpha-fetoprotein can affect the development of rat colons?
Mammalian alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a single-chain glycoprotein and altered serum AFP levels have been observed concurrent with aberrant growth manifestations in some congenital defects and cancer. view more (2009-04-17)
Improved DNA stool test could detect digestive cancers in multiple organs
Mayo Clinic researchers have demonstrated that a noninvasive screening test can detect not only colorectal cancer but also the common cancers above the colon -- including pancreas, stomach, biliary and esophageal cancers. view more (2009-06-02)
Analysis of breast and colon cancer genes finds many areas of differences between tumors
Researchers from University Hospitals (UH) Ireland Cancer Center and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine are part of a new national study that has analyzed more than 18,000 genes, including 5,000 previously unmapped genes, from breast and colorectal tumors. view more (2007-10-12)
Type 1 diabetes associated with increased risk of cancer
Certain forms of cancer occur more often in patients with type 1 diabetes compared with the general population in the corresponding sex and age groups. This has been shown in a new Swedish study from Karolinska Institutet. view more (2003-12-04)
