UC Davis researchers discover genetic switch involved in cells' response to radiation therapy
UC Davis Cancer Center researchers have discovered a genetic switch that causes cancer cells to become more sensitive to a drug administered to enhance radiation therapy effectiveness.   view more (2005-11-17)

Why cisplatin kills breast cancer cells when other drugs fail
The cancerous cells of some individuals with breast cancer lack expression of two cell surface proteins, the estrogen and progesterone receptors, and do not express increased amounts of HER2.   view more (2007-04-20)

Additional mammogram readers improve breast cancer detection

Patients with lung cancer in Scotland continue to miss out on treatment
Patients with lung cancer in Scotland are not getting the treatment they need, shows a study in Thorax. Only around four out of 10 people eligible for curative treatment received it, and those under 60 were five times more likely to be aggressively treated than patients in their seventies. Over... view more (2001-02-14)

Harnessing Microbes to Kill Cancer
An ingenious new way to attack cancer tumours is being developed by medical researchers from Nottingham as part of an EU consortium, the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Meeting in Edinburgh heard today, Tuesday 8 April 2003. The problem with powerful anti-cancer drugs is that they kill... view more (2003-04-02)

A cancer gene causing tumours by a 'double-whammy' mechanism also reveals the key to a cure
Scientists at the Babraham Institute have discovered that a tiny change in a protein involved in cell survival is responsible for abnormal cell activity in the early stages of cancer. The protein, known as Bcl-xL, normally protects cells from dying; and when the DNA in cells becomes damaged,... view more (2004-01-21)

Fatalistic beliefs about cancer cause many to ignore cancer prevention advice

MEN WITH LOW FERTILITY HAVE DOUBLE THE RISK OF TESTICULAR CANCER
The incidence of testicular cancer has increased in the past 50 years and there is some evidence to suggest that sperm quality has reduced in the same period, leading to an increase in male subfertility. In this week's BMJ, Henrik M'¸ller and Niels Skakkeb'¦k from the Danish National Research... view more (1999-02-26)

Dietary calcium could possibly prevent the spread of breast cancer to bone
A strong skeleton is less likely to be penetrated by metastasizing cancer cells, so a fortified glass of milk might be the way to block cancer's spread.   view more (2007-10-03)

Age is an independent risk factor in young women with breast cancer

Height linked to risk of prostate cancer development and progression
A man's height is a modest marker for risk of prostate cancer development, but is more strongly linked to progression of the cancer, say British researchers who conducted their own study on the connection and also reviewed 58 published studies.   view more (2008-09-03)

Just hours apart, 2 brothers undergo robotic prostate cancer surgery
"We are blessed to have each other to depend on. If you have to go through something bad like cancer, you're glad to have a friend to go through it with," said one of two brothers from Savannah, Georgia recovering from robotic prostate cancer surgery.   view more (2008-01-18)
