The results are being presented by Dr. Richard Harrop, Principal Scientist at Oxford BioMedica. Following on... view more... (2003-07-14)
Studies lend insights into colorectal cancer screening
Two studies in the October issue of the journal Gastroenterology may help in refining recommendations for the use of colonoscopy to screen for colorectal cancer. view more (2007-10-02)
Study demonstrates how gene variant may contribute to cancer development
A relatively common cancer susceptibility gene appears to be frequently acquired in metastatic lesions from colorectal cancer, and give cancer cells a growth advantage, according to a study in the October 5 issue of JAMA. view more (2005-10-05)
Model predicts colon cancer inheritable genetic defects
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins University and other institutions have developed a new prediction model for genetic defects known as Lynch syndrome, which predisposes families to develop colorectal cancer. view more (2006-09-27)
AGA Institute statement: Data support CT colonography as viable colorectal cancer screening option
Death from colorectal cancer is highly preventable with effective screening and early detection. Many screening options are available, each with advantages and disadvantages, but half of eligible patients still do not participate in colorectal cancer screening. view more (2008-09-18)
Genetic variation impacts aspirin's effectiveness in preventing colon cancer, Dartmouth study finds
Dartmouth researchers are among a team of doctors that have learned more about how people may or may not benefit from taking aspirin in the effort to curb colon cancer. view more (2006-10-25)
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)
Chemotherapy with bevacizumab increases risk of blood clots in arteries
Treatment with chemotherapy and bevacizumab, an anticancer drug, is associated with a greater risk of blood clots in patients' arteries compared with treatment with chemotherapy only. view more (2007-08-08)
Curry-derived molecules might be too spicy for colorectal cancers
Curcumin, the yellowish component of turmeric that gives curry its flavor, has long been noted for its potential anti-cancer properties. view more (2007-11-05)
Primary care physicians can fill gap in colorectal cancer screening
The number of people who need colonoscopies to screen for colorectal cancer is outpacing the number of endoscopists available to perform them, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2009-01-13)
Mayo-led study finds smoking related to subset of colorectal cancers
Smoking puts older women at significant risk for loss of DNA repair proteins that are critical for defending against development of some colorectal cancers, according to research from a team led by Mayo Clinic scientists. view more (2008-04-14)
'Cross-talk' mechanism contributes to colorectal cancer
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health have identified a molecular mechanism that allows two powerful signaling pathways to interact and begin a process leading to colorectal tumors. view more (2009-11-16)
Support For Colorectal Cancer Screening With Sigmoidoscopy
Early results of a randomised controlled trial in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that a single flexible sigmoidoscopy screening programme offered at around age 60 years could lower the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer. Around 16,000 people die from colorectal cancer in the UK every year, with annual health-care costs for... view more... (2002-04-10)
Health groups issue updated colorectal cancer screening guidelines
The American Cancer Society, the American College of Radiology, and the U.S. Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer (a group that comprises representatives from the American College of Gastroenterology, American Gastroenterological Association, and American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy) have released the first-ever joint consensus... view more...

Cancer screening rates among older Medicaid patients fall short of national objectives
Only about half of Medicaid recipients age 50 and older appear to receive recommended screening tests for colorectal, breast and cervical cancer, according to a report in the October 13 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-10-14)
Scientists identify a gene that may suppress colorectal cancer
In today's online edition of Genome Research, a husband-and-wife research team from Thomas Jefferson University report the discovery of a gene that, when mutated, may suppress colorectal cancer. view more (2007-03-22)
Jefferson researchers find personalized interventions key to improving colon cancer screening rates
One of the best ways to encourage an individual to get screened for colorectal cancer is to use a personalized approach, according to researchers at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. view more (2007-09-24)
Long-term aspirin use reduces risk for colorectal cancer
A new report from the Nurse's Health Study finds that regular, long-term aspirin use can significantly reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, as suggested by several earlier studies. view more (2005-08-24)
Protein thought to promote cancer instead functions as a tumor suppressor, researchers report
A protein previously thought to promote colorectal cancer instead suppresses the growth of human cancer cells in culture, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2008-07-08)
New vaccine stimulates colorectal cancer patient's immune systems to fight cancerous cells
British researchers have developed a vaccine that stimulates colorectal cancer patients' immune systems to fight cancerous cells. view more (2006-11-15)
