New American College of Surgeons risk calculator determines colorectal surgery risk
New research published in the June issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons shows that a risk calculator developed by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) can help surgeons provide patients with more detailed and accurate preoperative information about the risk of death and complications following colorectal surgery. view more (2009-06-12)
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)

Current research suggests that a new technique to determine tumor methylation status can be used in archived tissue samples. view more (2009-02-24)
Scientists discover how body fights to control spread of cancer
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found how two molecules fight in the blood to control the spread of cancer cells. view more (2007-01-09)
Taking folic acid does not reduce risk of precancerous colon tumors
Taking folic acid supplements does not reduce the risk of developing precancerous tumors in the colon and may even increase the risk, a new study has found. view more (2007-06-11)
Low folate levels may cut bowel cancer risk
Low levels of folate, a B vitamin found in fruits and leafy green vegetables, may cut the risk of bowel cancer, suggests research published ahead of print in the journal Gut. view more (2006-04-25)
New report shows how our diet must change to cut cancer risk
A new report published this week by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) will show how much our diet needs to change if we are to reduce the risk of cancer. view more (2007-11-02)
Harrowing bowel preparation is unnecessary before colorectal surgery
Research news from The Cochrane Library Surgeons and other experts have long regarded mechanical bowel preparation to be an essential preventative measure before colorectal surgery. Recent evidence in The Cochrane Library, however, reveals that mechanical bowel cleansing does not significantly decrease the risk of anastomotic leakage or other... view more... (2003-10-20)
Clinical trials with immunotherapy for breast and colorectal cancer
Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine are conducting clinical trials on a unique approach to enhance the immune system in patients with breast or colorectal cancer. view more (2005-11-01)
Variation in CHEK2 gene may triple breast cancer risk
A study of more than 9,000 Danish residents shows that a specific variation in the CHEK2 gene may triple a woman's risk of developing breast cancer in her lifetime. view more (2006-08-01)
Colorectal cancer : A new way of increasing the efficacy of chemotherapy
Inserm and CNRS research scientists and doctors at the Institut Curie have demonstrated the influence of the status - mutated or functional - of the tumour suppressor gene p53 in the response of colorectal cancer to chemotherapy. Tumours in which the p53 gene is mutated respond less well to treatment. However, by adding another agent, researchers... view more... (2004-02-27)
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)
Alcohol consumption habits may threaten GI health
Many studies have evaluated the risks and benefits of alcohol intake, with some concentrating on potential benefits while others focus on the risks of abuse. view more (2006-05-23)
Selenium-protein deficiency raises prostate cancer risk
Selenium, an essential dietary mineral that can act as an antioxidant when incorporated into proteins, has been shown in many studies to reduce the incidence of cancers - notably lung, colorectal and prostate. view more (2006-05-23)
EFFECT OF DIET ON CANCER RISK (p 861)
A review in this week’s issue of THE LANCET assesses the research which has investigated possible links between diet and cancer. A familiar conclusion is reached-cancer risk can be reduced by eating a balanced diet (including the regular consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables), combined with regular exercise and a restriction on alcohol... view more...

Cancer survivors have low levels of physical activity and high levels of obesity
A new study reveals that many cancer survivors are inactive and obese, which may negatively affect the control of their disease. The findings, which come from a study of cancer survivors in Canada, show that a cancer diagnosis does not appear to prompt significant behavior change and that interventions to increase physical activity and promote... view more...

Cancer Survival Rates Higher Than Previously Assumed
Conventional estimates for life expectancy after cancer diagnosis have been too pessimistic, suggests a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. There are two main ways of quantifying survival estimates after cancer diagnosis. The conventional method, known as the cohort method, is based on the survival experience of cancer patients whose... view more... (2002-10-09)
The multi-tasking reovirus
In the past couple of years, researchers at Oncolytics Biotech have been developing a harmless virus as a potent cancer killer, but they have also been accumulating data that suggests in addition to directly killing tumor cells, the reovirus may prime the immune system to mount a separate, powerful and long lasting defence against cancer. view more (2007-02-08)
New blood tests promise simple, cost-effective diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancers
Promising results from two new blood tests that can aid in the early identification of patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancers will be presented at Europe's largest cancer congress. view more (2009-09-21)
