Early warning: PSA testing can predict advanced prostate cancer
Researchers who showed that a single prostate specific antigen (PSA) test at age 50 or under could predict the presence of prostate cancer up to 25 years later, (regardless of clinical significance) have now found that a single PSA can be used to predict advanced prostate cancer. view more (2008-02-15)
Stem cells as cancer therapy
It is widely hoped that neural stem cells will eventually be useful for replacing nerves damaged by degenerative diseases like Alzheimer disease and multiple sclerosis. But there may also be another use for such stem cells-delivering anti-cancer drugs to cancer cells. view more (2006-12-26)
