Genome code cracked for breast and colon cancers
Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists have completed the first draft of the genetic code for breast and colon cancers. view more (2006-09-08)
New treatment for breast cancer
The Gipuzkoa Cancer Institute and the Donostia-San Sebastian General Hospital have taken the first step to substitute traditional chemotherapy for breast cancer cases with a novel treatment. This new treatment is less aggressive and, thus, does not produce alopecia. From May, the two centres will test the efficacy of the new oral medicine,... view more... (2004-04-26)
Regular, long-term aspirin use reduces risk of colorectal cancer
The use of regular, long-term aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduces the risk associated with colorectal cancer, according to a study published in Gastroenterology, the official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute. view more (2008-01-23)
Profiling of cancer genes may lead to better and earlier detection
A research team at UT Southwestern Medical Center has for the first time identified several genes whose expression is lost in four of the most common solid human cancers - lung, breast, prostate and colon cancer. view more (2006-12-27)
Penn researchers identify new combination therapy that promotes cancer cell death
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine identified a combination therapy as a way to sensitize resistant human cancer cells to a treatment currently being tested in clinical trials. view more (2007-07-17)
GEN reports on expanding NextGen sequencing applications
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies are not only beginning to supplant traditional Sanger sequencing methodology but are also giving DNA microarrays a run for the money as well, reports Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News (GEN). view more (2009-09-04)
Chemotherapy can be more toxic to brain cells than to cancer cells and may cause brain damage
Drugs used to treat cancer may damage normal, healthy brain cells more than the cancer cells they are meant to target. view more (2006-11-30)
Coffee break: Compound brewing new research in colon, breast cancer
A compound in coffee has been found to be estrogenic in studies by Texas AgriLife Research scientists. view more (2009-11-12)
Brown-Assisted Trial Finds New Colorectal Screening Procedure Is Accurate and Less Invasive
More patients stand to benefit from a comprehensive, less invasive method to accurately detect colorectal cancer and precancerous polyps, a multicenter study involving Brown University and institutions nationwide has found. view more (2008-09-18)
DNA methylation shown to promote development of colon tumors
Damaged or defective genes have long been known to be the cause of some cancers. Over the past decade, however, scientists have discovered that even healthy genes can be switched on or off and can cause cancer without any changes in the underlying DNA sequence-although how this happens has remained poorly understood. view more (2007-12-03)
MRI accurately depicts deep endometriosis
Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiologists may be able to diagnose deep endometriosis and accurately locate lesions prior to surgery, according to a new study published in the online edition of Radiology. view more (2009-07-07)
Heavy drinkers face significantly increased cancer risk
Heavy drinkers of beer and spirits face a much higher risk of developing cancer than the population at large, says a group of Montreal epidemiologists and cancer researchers. view more (2009-08-04)
Effect of prebiotic and probiotic foods on health
A group of researchers at the Public University of Navarre, led by Senior Lecturer in Zoology, Elena Urdaneta Artola, have studied both the mechanisms whereby foodstuffs known as functional act at a gastrointestinal level as well as their possible beneficial effects on the health of individuals. The study, which will continue until 2006, has... view more... (2004-08-19)
A case of cecal volvulus
Cecal volvulus is axial twisting that occurs involving the cecum, terminal ileum, and ascending colon. Rarely, it may take the form of upward and anterior folding of the ascending colon ("cecal bascule"). view more (2009-06-12)
Statins have neutral effect on risk of cancer
The cholesterol-lowering medications called statins do not appear to reduce the incidence of cancer or cancer deaths. view more (2006-01-04)
UCSD researchers state vitamin D needed to cut cancer risk
Taking 1,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D3 daily appears to lower an individual's risk of developing certain cancers - including colon, breast, and ovarian cancer - by up to 50 percent. view more (2005-12-29)
Osteoporosis drug may save lives by strengthening immune system
An osteoporosis drug proven to save lives after hip fractures may do so by strengthening the body's immune system, according to geriatrics researchers at Duke University Medical Center. view more (2009-07-16)
Increased glucose level is a strong risk factor for colorectal cancer
Diabetes is a very common illness that affects more than 20 million people in the U.S. and it is estimated an additional 54 million Americans have pre-diabetes, a condition that occurs when a person's blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. view more (2007-11-02)
US cancer mortality continues decline but incidence rises slightly for women
Overall rates of cancer death for both men and women have declined in the United States, and cancer incidence has remained stable among men. view more (2005-10-05)
Toward bold new anti-cancer medicines
Bold new strategies in the battle against cancer may turn forms of the disease that presently are incurable into manageable conditions that can be controlled for long periods of time. view more (2009-10-29)
