HER2 levels may aid in treatment selection for metastatic breast cancer
Findings published in the December 1, 2008, issue of Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, show lapatinib benefits women with HER2-positive breast cancer, while women with HER2-negative breast cancer or those who express EGRF alone derive no incremental benefit. view more (2008-12-03)
Family history of prostate cancer does not affect some treatment outcomes
In a first of its kind study, a first-degree family history of prostate cancer has no impact on the treatment outcomes of prostate cancer patients treated with brachytherapy (also called seed implants), and patients with this type of family history have clinical and pathologic characteristics similar to men with no family history at all, according... view more...

Age, burden, divorce and heavy tea consumption are significant risk factors for erosive esophagitis
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disorder with a high incidence rate in adults of 10 - 38%. The diagnosis and treatment of GERD are therefore important because the disease, in addition to the highly disturbing typical symptoms, has a series of known consequences. view more (2007-11-26)
Researchers determine predicting factors of positive lung cancer diagnoses in chest radiographs
A study published in the June 2009 issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology determined several predictors of a positive lung cancer diagnosis after having an abnormal chest x-ray. view more (2009-06-02)
Anaemia Treatment Could Worsen Cancer Prognosis (p1255)
Results of a European study in this week's issue of THE LANCET cast doubt over the value of treating anaemia with erythropoietin (epoetin beta) among patients who have cancer. Results of the study show that anaemic patients fare better in terms of reduced cancer progression and increased survival if their anaemia is not treated around the time of... view more...

Women overestimate effectiveness of breast screening
Women either overestimate or are poorly informed about the effectiveness of breast screening, suggests research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. But these are the very women who attend for screening. To give them the facts might deter them from being screened, so creating a public health dilemma, suggest the authors. The... view more...

Preoperative radiation may improve survival rates in advanced rectal cancer patients
Patients treated with radiation prior to surgery for advanced rectal cancer have fewer instances of cancer recurrence and better overall survival rates, according to a recent Geisinger report. view more (2008-12-02)
Researchers develop new method to test for lung cancer
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine have developed a new "clinicogenomic model" to accurately test for lung cancer. view more (2008-04-02)
What are factors associated with use of gastric cancer screening services in Korea?
The mortality of gastric cancer is decreasing despite the increasing incidence in Korea. This can be explained by surgical technique development and early detection by endoscopic screening or upper gastrointestinal study. view more (2009-08-12)
NO INCREASED CANCER RISK FOR SIBLINGS OF CHILDREN WITH CANCER (P 711)
Results of a population-based study published in this week’s issue of THE LANCET suggest that siblings of children with common, non-inheritable cancer are not at an increased risk of malignant disease. In some rare inherited disorders such as retinoblastoma and Li-Fraumeni syndrome, relatives of children with cancer are at an increased risk... view more... (2001-08-29)
Study finds multiple markers for breast and ovarian cancer
Scientists from the Uppsala Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR) have made a promising discovery that could improve the early diagnosis of breast and ovarian cancers through a simple blood test. view more (2005-08-01)
Families cope better after euthanasia than natural death
The bereaved family and friends of cancer patients who die by euthanasia have less grief symptoms and post-traumatic stress reactions than the bereaved of comparable cancer patients who die a natural death, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers from the Netherlands assessed 189 bereaved family members and close friends of terminally ill... view more... (2003-07-23)
Chornobyl radiation ups risk of thyroid cancer in children and adolescents
Exposure to radioactive iodine increases the risk of thyroid cancer in children and adolescents, a study of thyroid cancer prevalence after the Chornobyl accident shows. view more (2006-07-05)
Natural protein may halt colorectal cancer's spread
Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center researchers in Milwaukee have learned that a protein, CXCL12, that normally controls intestinal cell movement, has the potential to halt colorectal cancer spreading. view more (2009-04-21)
Model for cancer cure
The outcome for some cancer patients can now be predicted much earlier by making the right choice of treatment based on a mathematical model rather than the current life-table method, which has been in use for over 20 years, according to research published today in the Institute of Physics Journal Physics in Medicine & Biology. The paper`s... view more... (2002-10-23)
DO POST-MENOPAUSAL WOMEN REALLY NEED CERVICAL SMEAR TESTS ?
In the United Kingdom postmenopausal women who are at little risk of developing cervical cancer remain in the screening programme until the age of 64. In this week's BMJ, Chris Sherlaw-Johnson and colleagues from University College London and Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham use a mathematical model to assess whether these low risk women could... view more...

DACH1 a key protein for tumor suppression in ER+ breast cancer
Researchers from the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson have identified a protein relationship that may be an ideal treatment target for ER+ breast cancer. view more (2009-07-15)
US prostate cancer deaths down one third in men aged 50-74: Europe following?
Copenhagen, Denmark: New findings presented today (Tuesday 23 September) at ECCO 12 - The European Cancer Conference, show that US prostate cancer mortality rates, which had been increasing slowly during the 1970s and 1980s, suddenly started to fall rapidly during the 1990s. view more (2003-09-21)
OU Cancer Institute Scientists Identify New Cancer Stem Cell Marker; Developing Drug to Stop Cancer Recurrence
After years of working toward this goal, scientists at the OU Cancer Institute have found a way to isolate cancer stem cells in tumors so they can target the cells and kill them, keeping cancer from returning. view more (2008-09-12)
University to develop new therapeutics for cancer
Dr Roger Barraclough, from the School of Biological Sciences, is working on a new protein which causes some cancer cells to spread around the body. This protein is being developed to assist in improving the management of breast cancer. view more (2006-07-28)
