Scientists Discover Stinging Truths About Jellyfish Blooms in the Bering Sea
A new study helps explain a cyclic increase and decrease of jellyfish populations, which transformed parts of the Bering Sea--one of the U.S.'s most productive fisheries--into veritable jellytoriums during the 1990s. view more (2008-05-30)
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)
Food With The Guts To Stand Up To Cancer
Cancers of the gut are one of the major causes of death from cancer, but a review published this week[1] shows that they are also amongst the most preventable through changes in diet. Of the 10 million new cases of cancer diagnosed in 2000, around 2.3 million were cancers of the digestive organs - pharynx, oesophagus, stomach or colorectum.... view more... (2004-07-22)
New understanding of nervous system gives insight into common gut problem in newborn babies
Medical Research Council (MRC) researchers have unlocked the mysteries of the nervous system responsible for proper formation and function of the gut. This new understanding has implications for treating Hirschsprung's disease, a common disorder in newborns that requires corrective surgery in order for food to pass through the bowel and the colon.... view more...

Different type of colon cancer vaccine reduces disease spread, Jefferson scientists show
Taking advantage of the fact that the intestines have a separate immune system from the rest of the body, scientists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson in Philadelphia have found a way to immunize mice against the development of metastatic disease. view more (2008-06-25)
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)
Eating less fat may lower breast-cancer risk, have little impact on colon-cancer, heart-disease risk
Adopting a low-fat diet in later life and following such a regimen for nearly a decade does not appear to have a significant impact on reducing the overall risk of breast cancer, colorectal cancer or heart disease. view more (2006-02-08)
Study sets treatment standard for elderly with colon cancer
One of the newest and most potent chemotherapies for colon cancer is as safe and effective for the elderly as it is for younger patients, based on a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill-led data review. view more (2006-02-13)
Drop in cancer deaths tied primarily to gains in behavior and screening
Improvements in behavior and screening have contributed greatly to the 13 percent decline in cancer mortality since 1990, with better cancer treatments playing a supporting role, according to new research from David Cutler of Harvard University. view more (2008-12-03)
Increased Vitamin B consumption reduces women's risk of colorectal cancer
According to a study published in the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) journal Gastroenterology, women with a high dietary intake of vitamin B6 over several years have a decreased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Women who consume moderate to large amounts of alcohol in addition to vitamin B6 have more than a 70 percent reduced risk... view more... (2005-06-03)
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)
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)
Novel regulation of the common tumor suppressor PTEN
PTEN is one of the most commonly mutated tumor suppressor genes. It is an antagonist for many cellular growth, proliferation and survival processes. When mutated or deleted, it causes cancers of the prostate, breast, colon, and brain. view more (2007-01-12)
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)
Helping Hand of Hybrid Surgery Benefits Colorectal Patients
Despite rapid strides in minimally invasive surgical techniques -- most notably, laparoscopy -- traditional open surgery remains the most common surgical option across the United States for people with diseases of the rectum and colon. view more (2009-04-16)
Mouse study: Real-time imaging device may improve surgery for congenital colon disease
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center are developing a spectral imaging system that could result in shorter operating times for infants undergoing surgery for Hirschsprung's disease, according to a mouse study reported in the Journal of Biophotonics. view more (2008-02-29)
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)
Calls for improved screening of colorectal cancer in Europe's aging population at ECCO 13
Colorectal cancer is a significant public health problem for which differing treatment regimes hold different benefits in associated efficacy, safety and tolerability. view more (2005-11-03)
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)
